Raymond R. Green, chairman of the Delaware State Committee, died in December, 1984.  His predecessor was Harry Connor.  Green was a member of the National Commmittee and had been a delegate to the 1979 national convention. He was active in the Gideons.  He seems never to have run for office as a Prohibitionist, however.
