Cullom Seen as Likely GOP Nominee in National Convention
The Streator Press argues Senator Cullom remains the strongest figure in Illinois politics and could secure the Republican nomination, balancing silver and tariff interests. It notes Cullom’s avoidance of factional backing, his central prairie state role, and possible broad appeal if chosen over “political necessity.” The Inter Ocean survey of 167 congress members shows 60 Republicans and the rest Democrats split on tariff views. Congressman Wheeler pledges to defend existing tariffs and push no changes in the near term.
