Taft differs with Eisenhower on Texas delegates at convention
Senator Taft said Texas temporary delegates should be barred from voting on permanent seating while backing Eisenhower’s view that delegates from all contested states should be barred from voting on contests. He argued temporary delegates from contested states must vote on their contests outside their states to avoid a manipulated majority. Zweifel supported Taft and named a pro Taft delegation after a split with Eisenhower supporters. Taft cautioned he may lack a majority on the credentials committee guiding seating decisions.
