LIVINGSTON - Delegates •
to the Polk County
Democratic Convention
Saturday split two-thirds for
former Vice-President
Walter Mondale and one-
third for Sen. Gary Hart
Saturday.
Supporters of Jesse
Jackson supported Hart
after they failed to muster 15
percent of the convention
delegates.
The county will send nine
delegates for Mondale and
five for Hart to the state con-
vention in Houston in June.
The Jackson supporters
moved to the Hart camp in
return for a delegate.
The convention passed a
resolution favoring a
presidential preference
primary in Texas with
delegates pledged in propor-
tion to the vote received by
the various candidates.
The resolution was in-
troduced by J. A. McMahan
and carried cn a voice vote

with little opposition.
One of the opponents to the
resolution aid the open par-
ty rules used in 1972 with
assured delegate spots for
every group reulted in the
nomination of Sen. George
McGovern and the over-
whelming loss to President
Nixon.
Delegate Sam Pendergast
of Onalaska said “I want to
go on record as saying he
was the best nominee the
Democratic Party ever
had.”
Several delegates express-
ed concern the primary
ballots would not be counted
in time for the caucuses to
choose the delegates to the
county conventions and it
would be difficult to deter-
mine the support for each
candidate.
County Democratic Chair-
man Perry Tanner, a sup-
porter of the resolution, said
caucuses to choose actual
delegates could be held
several days after the
primary.
He said the legislature
could structure the delegate
selection process in several
different ways and he felt
most Democrats supported
direct votes for president in
the primaries.
The state convention will
be held in the Sam Houston
Collesium June 15 and 16.
The Mondale delegates
from Polk County are A. C.
Turnstall, Audrey Hill, J. A.
McMahan, Don McNight,
Linda McNight, Teresa
Hubert, Freddy Duff, James
Richardson and Mary
Bowen.
The Hart delegates are
Phillip Jeffers, Linda Keller,
Perry Tanner, Kaye Larue
and Ervin Fisher.
Mondale alternates are
Earl Gibson, Lance Mclvey,
Ken Smith, Martha Oliver,
W. E. Walker, Jasper
Cockrell, Ray Lasley, Anisa
Parrish and Harlod Brown.
Hart alternates are Paul
Marvel, Debra Lyons, Tom-
my Lyons, Karen Lantron
and Tamita Fisher.

Dear Ann Landers:
Something must be done to
improve the quality of
judges who sit on various
benches all over this coun-
try. I am enclosing a clipp-
ing from our local paper
about an incident that occur-
red in Milwaukee. It made
me see red. Here it is:
A Milwaukee County judge
told a rape victim to stop
crying on the witness stand
or he would dismiss the
charges against the man ac-
cused of assaulting her.
Circut Judge Ralph G.
Gorenstein told the 21-year-
old woman, “Either you col-
lect yourself and behave like
a mature adult or I’m going
to dismiss the case for being
prejudicial. The female
response to a tough situation
is inappropriate in a cour-
troom.”
The woman began to cry
during cross examination in
the trial against a Cuban
refugee who was found guil-
ty of second-degree sexual
assault. The man forced his
way into the victim’s home
and raped her.
Gorenstein, whose
remarks were made without
the jury present, told the
woman it was prejudicial to
the defendent “for you to sit
there and bawl your eves
out.”
What is your reaction to
this incident, Ann —A
Syracuse Reader
Let’s talk aBout Lucchese Boots...
We have been in business in San Antonio, Texas, since 1883 and oven the yeans have done
our very best to make the finest boots in the world. Generation after generation of famous
names from all over the globe have come to this well-known Texas town for a pair of
Lucchese Boots.
Up until 1970, the only boots we sold were "custom-made to measure. "In 1970 we decided
to offer Lucchese boots through a few carefully selected retailers who we felt were qualified
to serve discriminating customers. We don 7 produce many boots at Lucchese and we like to
believe every single pair finds its way to someone who appreciates the finest in boot crafts-
manship.

Judge prejudiced
Dear Reader: I find such
comments outrageously sex-
ist, and wonder what kind of
justice can be meted out by a
judge who thinks like that. If
anyone in Milwaukee has ad-
ditional information on this
case I would like to know
about it.
Dear Ann Landers: I was a
divorced woman with a child
when I married Ralph. He
had two children who live
with their mother. Ralph and
I had two children.
Our Life was wonderful
until Ralph's children decid-
ed they wanted to live with
us. They said their mother
was crazy. Ralph and I said,
“Fine.”
It was a disaster from the
beginning. They stole from
the neighborhood stores,
fought with our children,
wouldn't respect a curfew,
and refused to be part of the
family. They would not ac-
cept hugs or kisses or even
an arm around the shoulder.
We did our best to make a
pleasant home for these
children. All efforts failed
After six months they decid
ed to live with our relatives
That was seven weeks ago
Now Ralph tells me they
want to come back here
because they don’t like the
rules in that other place.
My husband wants to take
them back but I hate the
thought of it. Our family life
is now serene and quiet and I
just can’t face going through
all the troubles again. Both
his children are over 18 and
if they come back to live w ith
us I know we will have a
rerun of all the agonies and
stressful situations -a crisis
every hour.
I love my husband and
don't want him to feel I am
not being fair to his kids.
Please, Ann, give me some
good old Landers wisdom. I
want to do the right thing,
but what is it? -See Saw in
Canada.
Dear See: Sit down with
Ralph and his children. Have
in hand a list of house rules
and regulations. Tell them
they must sign an agreement
to live within the guidelines
you’ve set up or leave. Ex-
plain no excuses will be ac-
cepted and there will be no
second chance. Make it stick
Good luck
