whk* Hde nr
move to test
sets of demcoratie
electors.
The state democratic conven-
tion which ended last night made
an almost complete sweep of the
old state democratic organization
and named 16 new electcirs.
[Fifteen of the replace electors
named last May who have an-
nounced they will not vote for
Roosevelt and Truman. And
the other replaces an elector inel-
igible because of membership in
the state legislature.
After a fall day's delibera-
tions on methods, the pro-
Roosevelt forces who had
captured convention control
by 29 votes margin in an op*
enlng day battle, worked out
a system they believe they
can defend in court.
They revoked instructions giv-
en electors at a May conven-
tion under which the electors
were to vote for democrats oth-
er than the party nominees be-
cause of treatment of the Texas
delegation by the national con-
vention.
The new convention, in a reso-
lution, declares those instruc-
tions were without previous no-
tice and, if carried out, would
work a fraud on the voters of
the state, violate party principles
and public policy.
The 15 anti-Roosevelt elec-
tors were declared removed.
New electors for these 15
then were named and their
names certified for a place
on the general ballot.
As explained to a convention
committee, the anticipated court
contest will be a mandamus in
the state supreme court direct-
ing the secretary of state which
set of electors to place on the
general ballot. It is presumed
the secretary will announce se-
lection of one or the other imme-
diately to facilitatea test.
Resoluting commended the
national and state democratic ad
ministrations. Another com-
mended Senator Tom Connally,
hut Senator \V. Lee O'Daniel was
not mentioned.
