Smith Loses Florida And Mississippi In Democratic Delegates Push
Meager reports from Florida and Mississippi indicate that New York Governor Alfred Smith trails in the race for delegates to the Democratic national convention. Tampa attorney Doyle E. Cardon leads for the gubernatorial nomination in a field of five, while Senator Park Trammell edges Governor John W. Latta in the contest for the former’s post. Indiana plans to support Evans Woollen with an uninstructed delegation, and some district delegates imply a possible second-choice tilt if Woollen’s name remains.
