North Carolina Pays First Full Democratic Quota to DNC
North Carolina became the first state to meet its 1961 expense quota for the Democratic National Committee by presenting a $50,000 check to National Chairman John M. Bailey. State Democrats borrowed the money to claim the honor and plan to cover it with receipts from the April 15 Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner. Bennett led the delegation with Senators Ervin and Jordan watching. Bailey invited the group to the White House, and a Kennedy meeting was arranged.
