Taft Backed By State GOP Platform At Springfield
The Republican state convention adopted a Taft Deneen friendly platform with a tariff plank aligned to the president’s campaign letter. Speaker Cannon urged maintaining the Republican faith even at political risk. Lorimer and Jom are not named in the platform, while Deneen appears as temporary chairman and may push for Cannon as permanent chair. The delegation will receive blanket approval and the platform disavows bipartisan alliances linked to Shurtley and Lorimer.
