Lucas Norris fight may split Republican ranks in 1930s
Washington dispatch recounts Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican National Committee, pushing a party showdown over Senator Norris of Nebraska. Lucas defended spending on anti Norris literature and a 1928 Governor Alfred E. Smith support letter as part of the Nebraska anti Norris effort. He cited party loyalty and structural unity as at stake amid calls from Norris backers for his removal.
