National Republican Convention Likely in 1916
Washington reports that the Republican National Committee will convene in Washington to lay groundwork for a party reorganization. Delegates will be elected under state rules, not central decrees, with convention determining representation. Key figures such as Elihu Root and Senator Borah influence push for primaries and unity among progressives, while Hanson Cumming and Bristow steer Iowa and California factions toward a coherent platform. Federal highway aid for Nez Perce County and broader trunk systems links to an Eastern Washington route outline the administration’s infrastructure priorities. Cabinet ladies plan social steps amid ongoing Washington life discussions.
