Midwest to Decide 1952 Election, GOP Leader Says
Albert Hermann, executive aide to the Republican national committee, told about 200 Iowa GOP workers that the Midwest will decide the 1952 presidential election. He urged organizing and mobilizing farm and small town voters to overcome 1948 losses and reduce apathy. In Iowa, NB. M. Richardson resigned from the commerce commission after a drunken driving arrest, a move the GOP used to defuse a potential campaign issue. Richardson, Cedar Rapids resident, had long served on the three-member commission elected in office.
