Two Seek Attorney General Candidacy
MILWAUKEE AP A GOP convention rift over the endorsement for attorney general dominated the final day as Gov. Warren Knowles led a ticket expected to win the nomination. Assemblyman Louis Ceci and John Olson vie for the post with Ceci favored for legislative support. Knowles has not yet officially announced a second term but received a formal endorsement by acclamation along with Secretary of State Robert Zimmerman State Treasurer Dena Smith and Jack Olson for lieutenant governor. GOP Chairman Ody Fish, who steered Knowles’ 1964 campaign, won a strong convention endorsement after a party split centered in Milwaukee County faded, while former GOP chair David Stearns was ousted. The ruckus was described as a minor concern by Fish.
