Victoria Pike: First report, Democratic conventions

Despite the biggest day in Kentucky Crescent City history since Kentuckians carried Andrew Jackson to victory in the Battle of New Orleans, Adair County Democrats had good day with party conventions. How Mable and Ella Conover separated their bulls and cows. How dangerous it must have been for Mr. Grover Gilpin separating fractious Democratic camps.
Comments re article 50969. The year when Democratic precinct conventions were Huge Deal

By Victoria Pike

We didn't quite have that type of turnout yesterday for the conventions as the one in that mysterious year referred to in "The year when Democratic precinct conventions were Huge Deal," but we did well for a busy day in Adair County and Kentucky.

Sure did enjoy reading how things use to be. I have heard tales of Miss Mable Conover being able to separate her cattle by telling the bulls to go one way and the cows the other but I didn't know that Mr. Grover had the same gift to separate opposing Adair County Democrats. I figure that could just be downright dangerous.



I took a copy of the article with me yesterday morning as I went to my polling place, South Columbia #2, just for inspiration and passed it around to those fine folks in our precinct who were kind enough to show up and support the Adair County Democrat Party. One actually remembered the event with a smile.

Thanks from Chairman Ben Loy and from me to all those who took time out of their day to come be a part of the democratic process.

We urged all those interested to participate. We advertised the event for days on Columbia Magazine, radio, and newspape so everyone would know of the the upcoming precinct conventions as requested by the Kentucky Democrat Party. --Victoria Pike
