The resolution was broadened to include Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon last night and signed by more than half of the 1600 delegates attending the convention. . - In Form of Letter It was in the form of a letter to President Eisenhower, en couraging his "continued coura geous and principled leadership beyond 1956." The letter also hailed the Eisenhower administration for its "dynamic progress toward lasting peace and economic sta bility, honesty and integrity in government and heartening spiritual and moral growth." The resolution, in its present form, was introduced by John Rehmann, Des Moines, chairman of the Iowa delegation to the convention. Texas Delegation Objects . The only opposition to the resolution voiced before the gen eral session began came from a Texas delegation headed by John Strickler, Dallas. Strickler said his group's ob jection was not directed at Mr. Eisenhower but only represented an objection to drafting any candidate for public office. "It is our viewpoint that can didates should announce if they want the office and not have to be drafted," he said.
