Wisconsin GOP Chairman Pushes Endorsement Duty at Conventions
Harvey Higley, state GOP chairman, proposes mandatory candidate endorsements at future conventions. If approved by the executive committee meeting December 10 in Milwaukee, the idea would go to the 1949 state convention as a constitutional amendment. Higley notes endorsements would bind the party to back recommended nominees and would prompt candidates to declare intent and qualifications earlier. He cites 2,000 to 2,500 delegates, each representing about 250 voters, as capable of selecting the top candidates. The 1949 convention site is to be decided, with Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids, Green Bay, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac and Madison among sites considered.
