DescriptionThe Reform Party has ousted the last remnants of the leadership from 2000 presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan and is returning to the playbook that scored an impressive third-party showing in the 1992 presidential election, when Ross Perot headed the party.

Members from about 25 states voted at a convention in Colorado to oust Gerald Moan, the national chairman, halfway through his two-year term and install a new chairman, Lou Anne Jones, to serve out the term.

Miss Jones said the Sept. 7 vote was the final step in clearing the party of Buchanan followers in the leadership, and she said most of the rank-and-file Buchanan followers had already left the party.
