Iowa Republicans at G O P convention in San Francisco
Delegates at the Republican convention near San Francisco are split on presidential preference with several leaning toward Barry Goldwater while others back Henry Cabot Lodge and Nelson Rockefeller. Iowa's 24 delegates include 10 at large and seven district delegates with key figures like Evan Hultman advocating tax cuts and fiscal restraint. The keynote addressed the crowd of about 3,500 by Hultman who pledged real tax reductions and no new taxes, while Governor Harold Hughes dismissed the tax-cut proposal as political bait. The article notes possible shifts as delegates decide whom to back before Iowa’s first ballot.
