State GOP Leader Still Finds Thorns in Party Harmony
Indiana Republican State Chairman Alvin Cast struggles to unite the party under Eisenhower in 1956. He has Gov. Craig and Sen. Capehart on board but not Sen. Jenner, whose factionalism and criticism of the administration persist. Capehart praises Eisenhower and Craig while urging an end to feuding. Jenner is largely absent and viewed as divided within the party. Cast says Jenner is not a reliable spokesman and characters in the Indiana GOP remain split.
