County Democrats Elect Delegates to State
A number of Tonkawans were among the 52 delegates elected to the State Democratic convention in Oklahoma City April 30 when the county Democrats met in Newkirk Saturday.
R. H. (Doc) Oxford, county chairman, said the convention voted that delegates to the National Democratic convention in Los Angeles be bound by the unit rule and passed a resolution that they be uninstructed.
Each of the delegates elected Saturday will have one-half vote in the state convention. The county, on the basis of one delegate for each 300 Democratic votes cast in the last presidential election, is entitled to 25 votes.
Delegates elected are:
Bob Colombe, Dale Fuller, Forrest Frazier, Dr. Robert Carter, Jim Boone, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Schatz, R. D. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cross, Mr. and Mrs. Monte Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Totten, Raymond Coyle, W. E. Chancy, Ed Round, and Clarence Needler.
Louis Diebel, Al Neville, Leonard Geb, Dr. Irwin E. Allholder, Patty Phelps, R. H. Oxford, Mrs. margaret Lynch, Mrs. Irene Moore, Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Welch, Mr. and Mrs. Don Welch, Lowell Dogett, C. L. Armstrong, Mildred Frederick, Mrs. R. O. Federicks, J. W. Crisler, F. A. Jennings, Mr. and Mrs. John McAbee, and Mrs. Barbara Boyett.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Brandon, Dean Hoye, Mrs. Opal Lute, T. J. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice DeFord, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wiles, Marjorie Carver, Joe Clark, and Stanley Simanek.
Because Mrs. Totten was inelegible to serve as a delegate because she served as a cenus taker, Oxford has announced that Joe Drake was to be appointed in her place.
