Owas Republican convention pledges Hoover delegates
Owa s Republican convention elect ed twenty five Hoover delegates to the national convention and pledged the support of the Republicans of the state to the President. Elsewhere in the Middle West the anti Hoover Republicans were more active. In Illinois they were preparing to put up slates of candidates for delegates who will oppose the candidacy of Mr Hoover or of any man who is not in favor of repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and of the reduction of cost of government so as to lower taxes. The leadership of this group, especially in Chicago, however, is not of a character to enhance their chances of success.
