Conservatives Win Power Fight at Lubbock County Democratic Convention
A floor clash over delegates to the state convention ended with Gov. Connally supporters gaining influence. Mrs. Martha Magness sought to bar non delegates from state convention, but the motion to table she backed passed 5911-6 to 4085-6. Some liberals and conservatives crossed lines, citing fairness concerns for members unable to attend precinct meetings. Marion Key, Connally lieutenant, was absent after losing his precinct race. The group deferred enforcement of Magness's recommendation for two years.

County GOP splits narrowly avoided in Sunday convention
Ken Irisa Jubbock reports that Harris County Republicans closed their gathering with unity after close votes on three issues: delegate eligibility to the state convention, cotton acreage, and the unit rule. The rules vote defined that delegates who voted in the party primary and attended the county convention could seek state delegate spots in San Antonio. An attempted change would require attendance at precinct conventions May 7 instead of the county affair. A later cotton quota debate supported restoring a 16 million acre South Plains allotment despite opposition citing subsidies. The unit rule proposal to bind the county delegation to the state convention was nearly approved. See COUNTY GOP Page 10.
