Leaders for Taft in California amid contested delegates
Charles D Hilles and William McKinley on duty at Chicago oversee Taft campaign across California. Taft sends a special letter showing full acquiescence in the law. No district candidates emerged before the primary and it is unclear how Fourth district votes were counted. The national committee seated two Taft-Calhoun delegates from California, despite no district candidates and no verifiable district results. Governor Johnson condemns Calhoun's report as harmful, while the national committee refuses to dismiss its actions. A list of 87 Taft national committeemen is cited as blocking Taft, with names including Brooker, Crame, Nagel, Powell Clayton, Mulvane, and Brovenson variously urged to support the effort.
