Slemp Renominated by Acclamation Amid Virginia Convention
Amid a narrow split in the Ninth district convention at Norfolk Virginia Bascom Slemp was renominated for Congress by acclamation after a late Telegram from James Bowen and a failed alternative candidate. The dramatic session saw rapid moves and adjournment fears as Slemp’s renomination prevailed despite prior telegrams declining the nomination and health concerns sending Slemp toward California.
