Landon Gains Momentum In New Jersey Primary
Gov Alf Landon of Kansas defeats Senator Borah in a landslide to secure at least 22 of 28 district delegates and four delegates at large. Landon leads with upwards of 200 committed delegates and manager John Hamilton bets on a nomination on the second or third ballot. Borah concedes, calling defeat expected after Ohio loss to Taft. Farley predicts a prairie state governor will clinch the GOP nomination, warning against an inexperienced nominee and hinting Kansas may slip if Landon is chosen.
