Emmett Shelton (1905-2000) was my grandad) tells the story of his first experience with Texas politics - South Austin Democratic Precinct Meeting. Emmett was 10.
It was 1915 and the question was whether Women could Vote. Emmett's father John E, Shelton, was a local leader, superintendent of schools and then District Atty. He loved to debate and was a conservative democrat.
When they hold a Democratic Precinct meet in in a South Austin Meat Market, what can you expect.
