Brown urged as Ohio favorite son for 1972 GOP
Elmer Jones, former Athens County GOP chairman, leads a drive to name Lt. Gov. John W. Brown as Ohio favorite son candidate for the 1972 Republican national convention if Nixon skips the Ohio primary.

Jones says Brown deserves the honor and has mailed about 400 letters to committeemen and officials. Brown reportedly supports the move and responses have been favorable.
