"We'll win in August," he claims. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY), had swept to the nomination on the second ballot. Edgeworth had hoped for victory on the third ballot, but he was foiled by the liberal leanings of many delegates and first ballot votes for Gov. Ronald Reagan (R-Cal) that were released to the Rockefeller bandwagon on the second ballot. The first ballot gave each of the major candi- dates about 180 votes, while the rest was split be- tween favorite son candidates. Planners of the convention wished to accurately predict who would be nominated by the official Republican convention in August. Delegates were asked "to simulate what the real delegate in his By the time California's name came up again, Rocky was nominated with 638 votes-more than a hundred over the 526 required for nomination. Then, as part of an agreement cooked up with Reagon supporters, Rockefeller campaign manager Bob Gorsline, '69, asked the convention to nom- inate Reagan as Vice-President to "unify the party." Some Reagan adherants disapproved of the move, because they did not want the conservative Californian running below the liberal Rockefeller on the ticket. Besides, as one delegate explains, "Ronnie doesn't want to be Vice-President." Missives from official Reagan for President Headquarters discourage nominations of Reagan for Vice-President at Mock Conventions as detri- mental to his Presidential hopes. Despite this, Reagan was nominated amid jeers, cheers, and departing delegates. Demonstrations on behalf of candidates took Angell and Palmer I aic ait. auiv. I t V'***'-l MLIGVII*natl.
