Texas Primary Seen as McAdoo Underwood Showdown
Washington April 28. The Texas precinct elections Saturday shape as the pivotal test for McAdoo and Underwood with delegates at stake. A McAdoo win would rally the party’s southern westward support and bolster his national standing, while a Texas loss would signal waning strength and boost Underwood’s claims to leadership alongside Smith. Other primaries in Massachusetts and Ohio could shift delegate balance, especially if Cox supporters back Smith through Cox’s Ohio delegates.
