Carolina backs Boughton for Vice-President
The North Carolina Democratic party moves to pair a fourth term pledge with an endorsement of Gov. J. M. Boughton for the vice presidential nomination as Florida voters split to bolster Byrd. Oklahoma Democrats have endorsed Boughton, while Byrd denies candidacy. The Florida delegation remains divided, with 18 votes for Byrd and 14 pledged to support a fourth term. Byrd noted he is not seeking the nomination though friends suggest Virginia's 24 votes could be his. Some anti-administration Democrats push for an independent southern ticket, but gains by Pepper and Hill bolster administration support.
