Kenyon Sees Growing Third Candidate Momentum in Washington
Senator Kenyon reported strong and rapidly rising support in Washington for a third candidate, backing Senator Cummins. The Cummins boom appeared to outrun Taft forces as convention factions split, with badges of Cummins showing in the Congress hotel and no Taft counter move. Kenyon said Cummins is the only one meeting qualifications to unite the party and avert a defeat in November, while adding that Cummins delegates will stick with him and that a Cummins nomination might be possible only if a deadlock persists.
