Louisiana Democrats Select Convention Delegates Today
Louisiana Democrats meet in Baton Rouge to choose 20 national convention delegates with Frank Ellis noting strong support for Senator Richard Russell of Georgia. In Washington State, Eisenhower and Taft factions clash as Spokane set to pick 24 GOP votes. Russell gains from North Carolina and a Taft district delegate from Alabama adds to a national tally.
