Palmer Delegation Claim Aimed At San Francisco Booth
Friends of Attorney General Palmer claim he will secure Illinois' 58 votes on the first ballot at the Democratic national convention. They cite 497% backing in Illinois and 275 votes to rivals, with 337% listed as doubtful. Carlin, Palmer campaign chair, says anti Palmer McAdoo efforts failed in Pennsylvania where Palmer led 8 to 1 in his home county and 74 of 76 delegates appear pledged to Palmer. The Pennsylvania results and local Palmer victories bolster the campaign slate.
