Letters to the Times Dispute Coopersmith Ties and Tactics
A Chester community letter challenges Don Murdaugh’s June 27 1962 Daily Times feature on Coopersmith. The writer disputes claims of a two headed faction, cites county and city committee politics, defends labor affiliations, and recounts a 1959 city committee reorganization and a 1962 vote dispute. The piece argues the party’s troubles reflect broader intra party power struggles and calls for proper democratic processes.
