Wisconsin GOP delegates cast straw votes for president
About 2,000 delegates at the Wisconsin Republican state convention cast first choices in a straw poll seen as significant by some observers for the 1948 race. House Leader Halleck attacked Truman on taxes and vetoes while Everett Yerly announced retirement as Republican chairman of the third Wisconsin district. Delegates will later elect a district chairman and vice chairman, and the convention will pick national committeeman and committeewoman alongside other party leaders.
