Alaska Standard Theft At Republican Convention Parade
At the Republican national convention in Chicago delegates from Alaska had their standard seized during a Cummins demonstration. A Swede farmer from Minnesota abducted the Puerto Rico banner, then joined the procession in honor of the “Stalwart” Cornstalk. Repairs to the Alaska standard cost more than any other. The Alaska banner was repeatedly stolen as it moved through the parade, drawing jokes at the expense of Shackleford and Gilmore as gates were turned.
