GOP Caucus Backs Smith for Reelection in Wisconsin
The First Congressional district Republican caucus unanimously endorsed Representative Lawrence Smith of Racine for a fifth full term at Elkhorn. Delegates from neighboring counties refused to endorse U S Senator Alexander Wiley, voting against endorsing candidates for any office except congressman. A motion praising Governor Rennebohm passed as speeches by contenders for five state offices filled the agenda. The event drew over 200 district Republicans led by John Matheson with 29 Kenosha delegates present amid a partial county turnout.
