File — Box: 2, Folder: 25
Scope and Contents
Also includes a note presumably written by D.R. Anthony III that says, “DR Anthony Jr.’s effort to change selection of [Republican] candidates from convention selection to direct primary. Apparently, he succeeded but in his late years he was convinced it was a mistake. In his opinion, irresponsible candidates who were clever campaigners were winning the primary elections - men whom conventions would never have nominated.”
