Question Juggling of Funds by Edward J. Duffy
Washington May 16 AP Outcroppings of hostility toward Governor Landon of Kansas among followers of Senator Borah presented a worrisome problem to night for Republicans bent on convention harmony. While Joan D. H. Hamilton London organizer professed no concern, it was clear that other leaders were considering all possibilities. Borah or those closely associated with him might oppose any other presidential nominee for the Cleveland meeting opening May 4. Carl B. Buchmann, Borah for President chairman, was assembling data to oppose Landon. Borah said he would not join a plan to stop any candidate if a fair expression of the people supported that choice. six potential compromise names were discussed in case of a deadlock. Borah’s state went against London in South Dakota, and Bachmann led Borah’s candidates in West Virginia. In Ohio Borah gained five delegates to Taft’s 47 amid organizational opposition. Of 870 delegates named, 129 were effectively free to vote as they will, including some for favorite sons.
