Lodge Gets KU Push
The chairman of the Kansas for Lodge Committee is a 22-year-old KU student.
Thomas G. (Greg) Turner, Seattle, Wash., senior, was informed by a letter from the National Draft Lodge for President Committee March 3 that "any help is appreciated" in an attempt to get Lodge the Republican nomination for president. Turner said he had asked the national committee for permission to work under their auspices.
"The whole movement is voluntary," Turner explained. He said that there were 40 state volunteer groups in the United States at the present time.
"There is no overall national direction," Turner said as he explained the relationship between the national and state committee.
The local committee plans, Turner said, to get at least 5,000 signatures Wednesday night from Lawrence citizens on petitions to draft Lodge.
"We are having about 100 people meet at Carruth-O'Leary at about 6 or 6:30 p.m. to canvass South and West Lawrence," Turner commented.
Turner said he hoped to take the petitions to the state Republican convention on Saturday at Topeka. He explained that the reason the petitions are being presented is to try to influence the delegation to the Republican national convention to remain non-committed.
"Kansas being the strongest Republican state in the nation there is no reason for the national delegation to be committed," Turner said.
After the petitions are obtained from the Lawrence area and the convention on Saturday the Kansas for Lodge Committee will continue to work for Lodge.
The committee will work on obtaining support from areas of Western Kansas, Wichita, Kansas City, and Topeka, Turner said. Three students are already working to gather support in Hutchinson, Topeka, and Kansas City, Turner explained. Thomas Sheppard, Hutchinson junior, is working in Hutchinson, June
Anderson, Garden City senior, is trying to gather support in Topeka, and Steve Wilson, Leawood sophomore, is working in Kansas City.
