Republican Convention in Chicago Opens with Row over Credentials
The Republican gathering in Chicago began its first session with a contentious debate on credentials. Presidentially minded speakers praised past gains and urged unity behind a strong nominee, while regional factions clashed over seating fights involving Mahone Wise and Fremont amid calls for Kirkland and Foraker to speak. The afternoon adjourned after the credentials committee seatings were announced and the convention planned to reconvene.
