...President is well aware of the concentrated attack by which the Democrats have sought to tear down Nixon. He also knows that a strong Republican faction would prefer another candidate. To thrust the crown upon Nixon at this time, therefore, would simply be to increase the force of that assault.

...irritation. President Eisenhower was obviously friendly with Indiana's forward-looking Governor George North Craig, who had seized control of the state Republican organization from the Jenner forces (TIME, March 7). At the beginning of 1956, Jenner was not even showing much interest in leading his own faction of the Indiana G.O.P. organization.
