Javits to Challenge Dewey for New York GOP Power
New York Attorney General Jacob K. Javits prepares to challenge Thomas E. Dewey’s control of the state Republican Party as he seeks the U.S. Senate nomination. Javits mobilizes about 25 of New York’s 96 convention delegates while Dewey aims for the national ticket, with Eisenhower’s renomination uncertain. Javits claims a strong 1954 statewide vote showing independence from party discipline, fueling the feud and possible clashes at the GOP convention.
