Fifty Conventions A Subconscious Tenseness Highlighted
Editor Charles M. Harger recalls a half century of presidential conventions from 1928 to 1952. He notes Curtis and Taft Roosevelt turmoil in 1912, Willkie’s 1940 rise, and the Philadelphia 1940 and Chicago debates. The piece reflects on nomination parades, party splits, and a tradition facing change as TV and radio shape modern politics.
