Swedish Republican League Hosts Bloomington Convention
The Swedish Republican League of Illinois met in Bloomington for its ninth annual convention. A compromise struck to endorse the present state administration after debate over endorsing the Yates administration. Officers elected included A W Truesden as president and Peter Johnson as vice president. Delegates from Cook County caused a sharp ballot dispute for secretary, amid overall party unity on recent platforms and a banquet at Cooper Hall with 450 guests.
