Kansas Democrats face convention clash over McGovern support
Kansas Democrats confront a showdown at the state convention over whether the delegation to the Miami Beach national convention remains uncommitted or supports Sen. George McGovern. Leader dissatisfaction, led by Marvin Harder, a political science professor, and Sen. Harold Herd suggests up to 40 percent of party workers are disenchanted, with the contest risking defections this fall. The outcome will decide the national committeeman and committeewoman posts and the last five Kansas delegates.
