Quiet Move Said Afoot For Bricker
The Dover Daily Reporter reports a quiet effort to nominate Sen. John W. Bricker of Ohio as the state’s favorite son for the 1956 presidential race. Ohio primary law requires delegates to file an affidavit naming a preferred candidate and this must be done by February 8 1956. If Eisenhower seeks renomination he would likely delay public confirmation to avoid a primary clash.
