Republicans Fear Ortseifen Brewer Candidate for Governor
Republicans attack Adam Ortseifen over his brewer background, arguing he is weak with voters. The piece recalls historical GOP tactics, noting past brewer nominees in Cook County such as Louis C. Huck who defeated Anton Hesing for County Treasurer in 1875 and parallel cases in 1870s city elections.
