WILKIE AND
McNARY
Republican Nominees For
President and Vice-Presi
dent For 1940 Campaign
Convention Hall. Philadelphia,
June 27. ? The Republican Na
tional Convention nominated
Wendell L. Wilkie as its 1940
Presidential candidate tonight on
the sixth ballot.
A last-minute unanimous break
by the big Pennsylvania delega
tion clinched the matter when un
official figures had given Wilkie a
majority of the convention.
Governor Bricker, of Ohio, a
partisan of Senator Taft', came to
the platform in an effort to make
the nomination unanimous. Under
the rules he could only change
Ohio's 52 votes from Taft'to Wil
kie but Chairman Martin said he
could not recognize the Ohio gov
ernor for tihe purpose until the
roll call had been completed.
After a great roar from the
floor and the gallery following
Pennsylvania's announcement and
Bricker's appearance on the plat
form, the crowd grew silent as the
roll call was resumed.
Convention Halt, Philadelphia,
June 27. ? Wendell L. Wilkie,
utilities executive who voted for
Franklin D. Roosevelt! in 1932,
forged to the lead on the fourth
ballot of the Republican national
convention here tonight and en
tered into a two-man contest with
Senator Robert A. Taft. of Ohio, !
on the fifth ballot after Thomas
E. Dewey had withdrawn and re
leased his delegates.
Wilkie, in third place on the
first, second and third ballots,
climbed into the lead on the
fourth.
On the ftftih ballot, most of
New York and all of Alf M. Lan
don's Kansas delegation went to
Wilkie, pushing him into the lead
as the voting on that round con
tinued.
The count on the fourth ballot
was: Wilkie 396. Taft 254. Dew
ey 250.
Wilkie lacked less Mian 100
votes of enough to obtain nomina
tion while the convention waited
to hear from four states with 107
delegates. A delay was occasioned
by an individual poll of the Iowa
delegation. These four states had
passed on the fifth ballot and were
still to be counted' Iowa. Michi
gan. North Carolina and Wiscon
sin.
Unofficial results of the 5th
ballot gave Wilkie 425, Taft 370.
The powerful upsurge of Wen
dell Wilkie's Presidential candi
dacy pushed him into the lead on
the fourth ballot.
The call of the roll saw him,
and Senator Robert A. Taft. of
Ohio, as well, forget past young
Thomas E. Dewey, who had lead
on all previous ballots.
The official count on the fourth
ballot gave: Wilkie 306. Taft
254; Dewey 250.
Convention Hall, Philadelphia
? Senator Charles L. McNary, of
Oregon, U. S. Senate minority
floor leader, was nominated for
Vice-President on the first ballot)
today by the Republican Nation
al Convention.
McNary's nomination, accord
ing to unofficial tabulations, was
put over when New York cast 82
of Its 92 votes for him.
Thus McNary became the run
ning mate for Wendell Wilkie. of
N?w York.
In Washington. McNary said
that he did not want the nomina
tion, but had told convention
leaders he would be "a good sol
dier" and accept If nominated.
Reassembling to choose a vice
president after the wild stampede
that early today had swept the
New York utilities man Into the
presidential nomination, delegates
heard thati Wllkle wanted McNary.
8hortly before they met, Wll
kle had outlined to reporters what
he regarded as the outstanding
Issues of the campaign. He listed
them as a "national unity, build
ing and adequate national defense
and rehabilitation of the national
economy."
Other plans for the campaign
were being developed rapidly.
Formal notification ceremonies
probably will be held at Elwood,
Indiana, Wllkle's birthplace, to
launch the campaign formally.
Wllkle said at a press confer
ence that his victory was a 47
day "expression of tihe people"
and that he would have a tery ag
gressive and widespread cam
paign.
He also expressed the view Con
gress should stay In session be
cause of "the difficult Interna
tional situation."
