Southern Delegations Weigh Pledge At Democratic Convention
Delegates return for a second day as Southern leaders discuss boycotting the pledge. Louisiana's Frank Ellis says his group will stay in the convention to be kicked out, while Florida's Holland notes a general move to decline. Texans, led by Governor Shivers, say the pledge means nominees must appear on state ballots but do not force support. The Moody rule, amid civil rights tensions, shapes the convention as Stevenson’s role remains debated and Barkley posts a sudden withdrawal.
