Frank Lowden The Candidate For President

Ex Governor Lowden is the popular choice in the middle west and seen as the farmer's friend for backing the McNary-Haugen bill. He is praised for Illinois leadership as a practical governor with a strong record. Clarence Darrow weighs in on Lowden and Hoover as viable nominees, noting hotel room selections in past conventions and urging voter-approved candidates.

Lowden praised as wise Illinois governor and steady reformer

The piece lauds Lowden for turning his governorship to practical governance, dissolving wasteful boards, consolidating agencies, and running Illinois with economy. It notes his strong farmer support, hints at national political currents, and predicts a quiet, dignified, businesslike administration if he wins. It contrasts his style with earlier party machines and foreign entanglements.
