Next Republican State Convention Should Rally Iowa
The Tipton Advertiser argues for a quick Republican State Convention after the Chicago National Convention. It urges selecting a rail-accessible site near Mazengo or Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Washington, or Ottumwa, to energize the party and ratify national actions while warning against hasty relief-legislation and tax interest reductions. It also notes legislative votes and political shifts, including the election of a Republican Speaker and other Capitol debates.
