Direct Primary dispute tests Patterson gains in Tennessee
A Nashville Banner excerpt urges the Democratic State Executive Committee to decide on direct primary or convention for governor and other offices. The piece argues Gov. Patterson backs a private machine, slants the party, and his allies oppose a primary, risking party integrity and voter power. It cites editorials from the Nashville American and Memphis Commercial Appeal.
