Allison Republicans extended their lead to about 1175 delegates after Saturday’s county conventions. The group claims control of the state convention with plans for four delegates at large, temporary chairman Attorney General Byers, and possible permanent chairman George D. Perkins. Delegates at large contention includes Perkins, Late Young, Joe Lane, and Ernest E. Hart.
