Republican Campaign for Delegates to the National Convention
Wisconsin Republicans opened their 1928 campaign for national convention delegates with a Wausau conference on September 8 called by Senator H B Daggett Milwaukee chair of the state Republican executive committee. The plan selects delegates at large and district delegates while lawmakers are urged to attend. The committee operates from Madison under R O Wipperman Milwaukee secretary, intends no gubernatorial campaign role, and seeks a conservative legislature in 1928. Daggett says county chairmen will ensure fair representation and that a real Republican delegation will be elected.
