Propper enters Republican bid for State Legislature
Attorney William F. Propper of Dalton filed petitions with over fifteen hundred signers on February 7 at Springfield to run as State Representative from the Seventh Senatorial District in Cook County. He is the only south of LaGrange candidate seeking the office, arguing southern representation in the General Assembly. Propper, a 1926 1930 GA member, will not seek re election as Thornton township Republican committeeman, clearing the field for James Gouwens to become township GOP committeeman.
