Delegates Considered Big Prize at National Convention
Delegates watched for a big prize as Eisenhower delegates formed a solid block while Harriman conceded limited active candidacy. Iowa’s contest drew little direct impact on 1958 nominations. California and Michigan votes shaped delegate counts, with Kefauver and Stevenson leading in California and Williams favored in Michigan. Stassen said he is not a presidential running mate candidate, ruling himself out for VP.
