In Texas May Insist
On Court Showdown
j, the Associated press.

~ the Associated Pyess.
DALLAS. Sept. l4.--Rooseyelt
Democrats, firmly In control of the
pArtys State machinery, set out
today on q course they hoped would
bring Texas solidly into the Roose-
velt- Truman column next Noyem-
Der.
Behind them was a victory over
anti-fourth term elements within
the party. won at bitter two-day
convention, and before them was a
possible court battle, the final
showdown tn a presidential elector
contest which has boiled since May.
Their convention victory featured
uproarious approval OF resolutions
and reports seeking to purge anti
Roosevelt electors, pledging ell party
candidates and participants to stick
by party standard bearers, praising
the Roosevelt administration, and
naming a pro- Roosevelt personnel
for the party's Executive Committee.
The convention directed that the
Secretary Of State expunge the list
Of electors fled BY the anti Roose-
velt-controlled May % convention
and substitute for 1t a group of new
electors, including seven of the
original electors who had announced
they would vote for Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Truman.
Fifteen electors named at the Nav
convention announced they would
vote for Senator Harry F. Byrd OF
Virginia because the Chicago Ma
tional Convention rejected demands

which freed them from supporting
the national nominees, by authority
Of resolutions passed at the May
State convention.
These resolutions were wiped out
by the September convention, which
also certified to the secretary OF
State the names Of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Senator Truman to be printed
on the general election ballot.
This was = departure from Gus
tom, although . State statute au-
thorizes the practice. It was ex-
pected that anti Roosevelt forces
would pitch q court battle on this
action, as well as on the convention S
attempt to replace the electors.
The May and September party
meetings are authorized by statutes.
Customarily the May convention Sc
lects presidential electors and dele
gates to the national convention and
the September convention concerns
itself with State matters.
