Vice President George Bush toured the Chicago area on Tuesday stumping for GOP hopefuls in key districts. He spoke at a Joliet breakfast for state Rep. Jack Davis and at an Oak Brook luncheon for Rep. Harris Fowell, endorsing both and urging voters to back Republican candidates to support Reagan era policies.

George O'Brien and cited Fowell’s record in reducing deficits and opposition to excessive spending.
