Split in Texas Convention Sparks Corridors Faction
A Republican Texas state convention split into rival gatherings at Dallas as minority leaders led by A. B. Creager of Brownsville and allies clashed with the official group. Police removed several leaders, with Littleton briefly jailed before becoming corridor convention chairman. Creager urged the breakaway faction to form another convention, while the main body elected Orville Bullington as permanent chair and planned to nominate 26 delegates to the national convention in Kansas City. Creager received strong vice presidential support from the breakaway side.
