Indiana GOP Convention Shuts Down Dewey Bid
The Indiana GOP convention rejected a pledge of its 29 votes to Governor Dewey and signaled a Bricker backed shift that may block a first ballot Dewey nomination. Bricker supporters claimed victory with 84 pledged, 390 total possible, while unpledged delegates could still affect the outcome. Baltimore and Emporia events marked ongoing national maneuvering ahead of the convention. Roosevelt offered no clear plan, Bricker criticized international military commitments, and questions linger about postwar security and world organization ties.
