The Nation - News from Jan. 13, 1985

Former North Carolina Gov. Terry Sanford announced his candidacy for national chairman of the Democratic Party and said the party should change the way it nominates presidential candidates. Sanford, 67, stepping down as president of Duke University, said that if he is chosen to succeed Charles T. Manatt, he hopes to devise a nomination system that would make delegates to the 1988 Democratic National Convention “more representative of voting Democrats” nationally and make the nominating process “deliberative.”
