Taft Favored For West Virginia GOP Delegates
West Virginia voters head to the polls with Senator Robert Taft favored to win the bulk of 16 GOP national convention delegates in tomorrow's primary. Eisenhower supporters vie to split the delegation, urging votes for Ike on the Taft Stassen line and across the Ike names, despite no legal count. The Democratic field features 48 candidates for delegates as factions vie over gubernatorial and Senate nominations, with Marland backed by Gov. Patteson and Hedrick backed by United Mine Workers leaders.
