Kansas GOP Showdown Comes Today At Convention In Topeka
Topeka, Kan.—(U.P.)A showdown on the number of Taft and Eisenhower delegates from Kansas to the national GOP convention will come today at the big state Republican convention here.
A one-sided fight is expected but the Eisenhower forces were conceded the edge which will result in the election of four more Eisenhower supporters as delegates.
Already General Eisenhower has 12 district delegates elected to the convention. Senator Taft has two. In all, 22 delegates will be sent to the Chicago convention.
Which of these two alternatives will stand will depend upon whether or not a recommended Taft delegate-at-large, Rod Bentley of Gove, who was named at the stormy sixth district convention, will be approved or disapproved.
The final count of delegates after the convention was expected by political observers to be either Eisenhower 20 and Taft two or Eisenhower 19 and Taft 3.
Many Eisenhower leaders at the convention said an effort will be made to replace Mr. Bentley on the grounds that the sixth district convention was "rigged."
But all other district delegate recommendations were expected to be approved. The other five recommended are strong Eisenhower supporters.
The GOP state committee has already recommended the election of these delegates and several of the district conventions have supported the action in the passage of resolutions.
The four state delegates at-large to be named Thursday will likely be Harry Darby, national committeeman; C. I. Moyer, Republican state chairman; Mrs. Pearl Josserand, Republican state vice-chairman, and a pro-Eisenhower Negro.
