Will It Be Tom or Dick At GOP Convention
BARRE Vermont. The first Republican nominating convention in 50 years is set for Saturday at the Barre Municipal Auditorium. Delegates from across the state will unofficially endorse candidates for governor and other offices, with the major contest focusing on the gubernatorial nomination between Thomas L.

Observers see a clear split within the party as the convention approaches.
