Foes of Landon Turn to Lowden for GOP Choice
Cleveland reports a stop Landon coalition shifting to Frank Lowden of Illinois as a possible unifying candidate near the convention. Old guard leaders of Knox Borah Dickinson seek to capture the nomination, with anti London forces aiming to back Vandenberg or Glenn Frank if Lowden falters. Vandenberg announces he will not seek the vice presidency. He says he would be more effective in the Senate and will be an innocent bystander at Cleveland. The rival camps grow tense as Landon support appears to rest around 400 votes, just short of a nominating majority.
