Negroes Push Favorite Son Vote At Democratic Convention
In Chicago Black leaders urge a protest vote on the first ballot to deny black support to top contenders and back Rev. Channing Phillips, a 44 year old from Washington. Rep. John Conyers Jr. backs the move while Rep. Charles Diggs Jr. says Humphrey remains favored and the effort will have little effect. Phillips had led a slate backing Kennedy and McCarthy in DC last May and became the favorite son after Kennedy’s assassination. Phillips says the vote aims to protect black and poor interests amid political expediency. The Georgia delegation split its vote between regulars and an integrated challenger group led by Julian Bond.
