Erie Favors Hughes at Republican County Meeting
At the January 14 meeting of the Republican County Committee the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and Governor Hughes were endorsed. Resolutions praised Hughes as a strong leader with a clear public policy, favoring his nomination for the Presidency and urging delegates who will back Hughes at the national convention. A Warren faction endorsement of Roosevelt was defeated, prompting talk of a Hughes-supporting challenge for a pro Hughes delegation. The action sparked dissatisfaction among Hughes supporters and expectations of a contested delegation fights.
