At the Las Vegas convention the Nevada Democratic delegates passed a resolution honoring Walter S. Baring for his devotion to ideals but offered no praise for his alignment. The gathering reflected growing estrangement as Baring votes moved toward conservative Democrats and Republicans, opposing civil rights legislation and the income tax cut. The meeting extended over two days, stretched by rivalries for major party offices.
