Stassen Gains In Iowa Ballots As Dewey Bandwagon Emerges
The Iowa GOP shows a split on the first ballot with Stassen leading 13 votes to five for Taft and three for Dewey while Mac Arthur collects two. On the second ballot all Dewey supporters shift, giving Dewey 13 to Stassen seven and leaving Taft two and Mac Arthur one. The third allotment cements a Dewey lead, though many Stassen supporters stay away, reflecting a failed Iowa preference toward Stassen despite initial gains. Nebraska and Wisconsin GOPs favored Stassen in primaries last spring.
