Wallace Pushes Equal Voting Stand in Roosevelt Nomination Fight
In a surprise seconding speech Wallace urged the party to back equal voting and educational opportunities for all races, aiming to kill the poll tax. Truman's first-ballot strength included Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri votes, with Wallace at 31674 of 589 needed for nomination, while leaders like Barkley and Stott Lucas remained contenders. The convention adopted a pro Roosevelt platform, though a racial minority rights plank sparked Southern walkouts. Byrd drew 89 votes in the anti fourth-term push as Farley voiced support for Barkley.
