CONGRESSMAN O'NEILL and Mayor Daley sedately shook hands with arriving well-wishers in the chill midday drizzle. Police officers hustled taxicabs out of the way to allow limousines to ease to the curb, stop briefly, then pull away to join the lines of double-parked Cadillacs and Continentals. Against each leaned a chauffeur, cap pulled over his eyes and cigarette cupped discretely in his hands.

By comparison, California had 55 delegates, and New York only 22. The primary reasons were financial--delegates had to get to St. Louis on their own. Thus, host state Missouri had over 40 delegates, and nearby Indiana over 30. While St. Louis was probably the most geographically central location, it did result in a heavy preponderance of delegates from Birch Bayh's backyard. Despite this disproportionate representation, the press reported the straw vote as a significant indicator...
