Hoover Heads Gop Ticket For 1928 Campaign
The 1928 Republican push nominates Herbert Hoover with Alfred E. Smith as the Democratic rival.

Smith, a seasoned campaigner and former New York governor, is ready to counter with his own proven accomplishments. The upcoming national race promises a highly engaging campaign.
