Organization Candidates Take All
The article notes organization backed candidates sweeping contests in a special election and Democratic primary. Cecil B. Moore, a Negro Republican, polled about half as many votes as Nix in unofficial totals of 13 572, with Nix also defeating Harvey Schmidt in the Democratic primary for a full term.
