G P Big Show At Chicago Was A Masterpiece
Chicago witnessed the Republican convention nominate Herbert Hoover for President and Charles Curtis for Vice President. The event featured a flood of attendees, a tight roll call, and a clash over prohibition, with the majority plank backing a modified Eighteenth Amendment. Chicago crowds, Will Rogers, and Alice Roosevelt Longworth dominated the coverage as the party outlined its platform and rules.
