Taft Calls for Texas Seating Ban at GOP Convention
Senator Robert A. Taft urged that Texas delegates temporarily admitted to the Republican national convention be barred from voting on the permanent seating of Texas’s delegation. He opposes Eisenhower’s plan to bar all contested states’ delegates from voting on contests, preferring only to bar votes on contests outside their states. Taft warned that allowing outside contests could enable fake claims and paralyze the convention. He denied Eisenhower’s charge of a Texas delegate steal and noted uncertainties about Taft forces’ majority on the credentials committee handling contested seats.
