ment high and dry, but some die
hard backers refused to give up.
Leonard V. Finder, New Hamp
shire publisher, declared in a ra
dio address Friday night the na
tion can still draft the general.
“The entire question is still up to
the American people,” said Find
er. “No one can decide for them.”
It was Finder to whom Eisen
hower addressed the letter Friday
telling the voters to count him out.
Supporters in Oregon are going
“right ahead” with plans to put
his name on their state’s Republi- j
can, primary ballot, they said.
“This is a ‘draft Eisenhower’
movement and I still think he can
be drafted,” declared Peter Al
ford, public relations representa
tive of the group.
Eisenhower’s consent is not
necessary to place him on the Ore
gon ballot.
In California assemblyman G.
Delbert Morris told newsmen “un
less he expressly repudiates us we
still have the right to try to put
his name on the California ballot.”
