Taking into account those dele

choice, many of whom are pledged to
vote for him on the second ballot,
Governor Wilson is easily in the

assert that the New Jersey executive
is their second choice, and two-thirds
Of the Kansas delegation, which is
instructed to vote for him as second
choice favor his candidacy.
Governor Wilson is the second
choice of the Massachusetts, as we'll

fact, most of the Clark vote is for
