Hoover Curtis Choice of G O P From Kansas City Chronicle
A neutral observer’s account of the 1920 Republican National Convention in Kansas City describes Herbert Hoover’s nomination for president and Charles Curtis for vice president on the first ballot. It notes farm policy debates, the Lowden message easing tensions, Mellon’s pivotal remarks, and the crowd dynamics as Hoover secured broad support amid factional maneuvers. The piece reflects on surface appearances versus underlying political maneuvering, with focus on delegates, farm bloc contention, and the convention’s final platform decisions.
