Waterloo venue eyed to ease convention crowding
Dispatches say the Republican state central committee faces a seating puzzle for the convention with a 3,508 capacity hall and 4,500 expected attendees. A Waterloo plan proposes 600 inside, about 1,000 standing, plus nearby lodging at Willard Hall to host delegates and observers in a peaceful setting along the Cedar River. The Democrats already chose such a site in August, suggesting harmony might rise from a calmer, nature filled atmosphere and river proximity to cool heated talks.
