A Pointer for America by Senator Lewis in Philadelphia
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois argued that ten years of domestic criticism left native born and foreign born Americans unable to praise their country.

Republicans Battle Over Delegates To Chicago Convention
The Republican press fights over delegate selection for the June Chicago National Convention. With the state primary not ending until June 6, critics say the date leaves little time to elect delegates.
