National Committee Susta ins Foraker in Ohio Delegates Decision
Ohio district delegates to Chicago must be chosen by conventions not primaries. The national Republican committee ruling, already praised by Foraker backers and disliked by Taft allies, clarifies that the big four statewide delegates will still be chosen by a state convention and the Feb 11 primary for state delegates remains unaffected. District conventions will be needed in Cleveland for the 20th and 21st districts amid a flurry of party maneuvering. The committee’s split vote and potential appeals are noted, with reactions from Taft and Foraker factions.
