Dewey Favored By Wisconsin Delegates As Willkie Falls
Western Newspaper Union reports Wisconsin hinted as many as 20 Dewey delegates, while Willkie led by 10 to 14 for Republican leaders and Bricker groups. Willkie finished fourth behind Dewey Stassen and MacArthur. Commentators blame Willkie's defeat on lack of a clear selling point and fragmented liberal opposition, with Dewey seen as the likely nominee on early ballots.
