Nomination Contests and Roosevelt Backing Report
The Red Oak Express notes Ninth District candidates for judge of the 15th Judicial District with Beeson Rockafellow Lewis and Wheeler as contenders. Wheeler, younger but popular at home, is a 40ish Iowa State University graduate from Council Bluffs. Afton’s old house teardown reveals a sound frame from 1857 with native oak and walnut shingles. The Courier-Journal editorial praises McKinley Roosevelt as a strong ticket with Roosevelt energizing the campaign and the anti machine sentiment backing the pair.
