Dixon Charges Delegates Choice By Alabama Committee
Frank M. Dixon denounces alleged chicanery and hypocrisy in the Alabama Democratic executive committee over electing four unpledged delegates at large to the national convention. He claims voters were disfranchised and warns of planned removal of district delegates, urging rescission of the action. Dixon, a 1934 gubernatorial candidate, calls for accountability and accuses leaders of steering toward a power monopoly within the party. He notes the meeting was conducted without proper notice and under controlled attendance, leaving many members unaware of its importance. The statement frames the incident as political machine manipulation and predicts future consequences.
