Townsend delegates undecided on voting at Cleveland convention
Emotionally weary Townsend delegates returned home from the second Townsend national convention after endorsing William Lemke’s old age pension plan for the elderly. The Union party’s ticket leader did not endorse Townsend directly, and the conclave closed without endorsing any presidential candidate. Dr. Townsend plans city tours with Lemke to push Townsend supporters for Congress pledging to the program. Lemke backed Townsend, pledging to support the doctor’s fight for citizens’ rights.
