Emmett Shelton Sr. (1905-2000) tells the story of Mr. J.H. Patton, state delegate from Oak Hill, and his hair-raising buggy and train ride to the 1894 Dallas Democratic Convention. It was a tie vote to choose Charlie Culberson for Governor of Texas. Patton made it just in time to determine the course of Texas history.
Next Emmett tells the story of his first Democratic State Convention in 1932 in Lubbock when Ma Ferguson defeated Ross Sterling for Governor. Emotions ran high. Dan Moody's faction supported Sterling and one of them caught a hot mike at the podium.
Music by: Democracy is Coming by Leonard Cohen
