Party Split in Texas Deepens as Sanderford Rules Out Compromise
Austin July 10. Former Texas state Senator Roy Sanderford, as permanent chairman, said there would be no compromise with the regular Democratic convention. His faction refuses to bind electors to the presidential nominee unless the Chicago convention restores the two thirds rule and adopts a platform plank criticizing the Supreme Court Negro vote decision. The pro Roosevelt group split from the regular convention and may place its electors on the November ballot, allowing voters to choose freely. Sanderford challenged Jesse Jones on claims the Texas convention denied voters a presidential choice. He cited a Houston Chronicle editorial criticizing the regular convention’s actions.
