State Convention Produces Uncontested GOP Ticket
The Iowa Republican convention held in Des Moines on July 2 nominated A. B. Cummins for governor and re nominated Herriott Bishop and D. J. Palmer by acclamation. John F. Riggs narrowly won the state superintendent race on the third ballot, with Adams and Barrett far behind. The platform praised Roosevelt's policies, support for reciprocity, and protectionism, and called for fair tariff schedules and anti-disfranchisement measures.
