Coolidge successor contenders named in GOP talks

The passage notes Republican leaders aim to avoid public discussion of Coolidge's successor with Hoover and Dawes as leading candidates. Nonpolitical figures favor Hoover, while business interests back Dawes, a banker who previously supported the McNary Haugen bill, which business may overlook as a political concession.

Ford backs Hoover for nomination continues from page one

A Chicago Daily News report notes Ford endorsing Hoover for the Republican nomination and discusses Lowden Dawes ties, Coolidge silence, and looming primaries. It highlights that Dawes and Lowden share farm relief views, and that Coolidge will likely refrain from declaring support. Political speculation centers on Hoover, Dawes, Lowden, Borah, and Longworth as 1928 contenders.
