Louisiana Delegates Split as McKinley Favored in New Orleans
At the Louisiana Republican nominating convention Kellogg supporters for Reed lost ground. A caucus favored sending two McKinley delegates at large and two Reed delegates to St Louis, with Henry Demas and J M Vance as McKinley choices and Albert Leonard and Andrew as Reed. The sugar planters and business men backed McKinley, and chairs toppled as Cage fought a re-election bid. The union ticket of sugar planters was endorsed and the convention moved to nominate presidential delegates, first choosing Kellogg then deciding to complete all nominations before a vote.
