Carpenter links Joe Smith nom to divine guidance at GOP meeting
Nebraska activist Terry Carpenter, once a GOP delegate and longtime critic of Eisenhower, claims divine prompting led him to nominate the fictitious Joe Smith at the 1956 Republican National Convention. He says the name surfaced when he intended to nominate Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton but was blocked by chairman Joseph W. Martin. Carpenter notes his broader political shift and current bid for the Nebraska Legislature while defending Joe Smith as a realimed, needy American figure.
