Democratic paper debates Holt Polk and third party risk
The paper argues Holt is a man of honor while Polk’s opposition is political. It warns that a third party, possibly led by Polk, would split the Democratic vote in North Carolina. It notes Butler’s caucus composition favors third party influence and cites Wake county endorsing the St Louis platform amid delegate manipulation claims.
