Wisconsin Assembly Moves McGregor Clout in Pack
Madison May 4 There are few changes in the joint convention ballot with only minor shifts. Duncan McGregor remains central as Speaker Eken discusses Stephenson nomination while McGregor resists being used in a political play. Several assemblymen switch votes. Hazlewood Burns and Clausen back McGregor. Stephenson gains. Rumors of bribery surface but lack substantiation. The day also notes tariff removal for lumber and a failed roll call on a probe into Kidnap schemes.
