Dewey Favored, Taft Needs Votes at Convention
The article notes Dewey argues Taft must secure 604 votes to clinch the nomination and predicts a rapid Eisenhower Taft clash for the GOP. It recalls Willkie’s 1940 first ballot surge and suggests McKel din, Fine, and Summerfield must decide how to marshal their state delegations. On the Democratic side Adlai E Stevenson appears more inclined yet reluctant to run if drafted and sees a potential path if a strong push emerges.
