State Teachers Prepare for Huntington Convention
Democratic incumbents retain posts for four more years led by Governor Holt with a strong margin over Republicans. Clarence W. Meadows elected attorney general joins the ticket as major party gains reshape the legislature with 83 Democrats and 11 Republicans in the House, and a broad Democratic sweep on the bench as nine Republican judges lose seats. January inaugurations and court appointments mark a new political era.
