Republicans Praise and Critique at Des Moines Convention
The Des Moines Republican convention shows mixed praise for President Harding and the right to work, with criticism over the Brookhart slight. The debate revisits the 1920 primary plank and proposes a February state convention to judge the June primary, while suggesting Congress will resist repealing the primary law. The piece notes a harmony ploy by Cummins backers and predicts GOP victory in November.
