Democratic Vice Presidential Fight Narrows At St Louis Convention
In St Louis on June 5 the Democratic National Committee named SM White of California temporary chairman as Thurman supporters surge for the Ohio statesman over Indiana governor Gray. Centered on the vice presidency, the battle pits Thurman against Gray with Morrison, Stevenson, and Black among possible contenders.

The convention faces tariff plank debates, Indiana loyalty, and a crowded, heated selection process ahead of the nominee.
