Hitchcock Named National Committeeman In South Dakota
In Sioux Falls on June 16 the South Dakota Democratic Party installed former U. S. Senator Herbert E. Hitchcock of Mitchell as national committeeman, replacing W. W. Howes of Huron. The meeting endorsed Hitchcock amid a small contest over election timing, and delegates voted to meet in Aberdeen in 1944.
