Alcorn Sets Path as New GOP Chair in Washington
Alcorn formally becomes Republican National Committee chair replacing Leonard Hall who resigned. The Harford County lawyer plans to unite the party to regain control of Congress in 1956, urging rededication to Lincoln’s principles and stronger organization at all levels. He faces dissent from some members over campaign funding and strategy and must address criticisms of the Eisenhower ticket and past fundraising.
