Hammill Bages Road Bond Issue In His Campaign
Governor Hammill pushes a $100 900 000 road bond program to strengthen his re election bid. He argues state bonds will save at least 5 000 000 in annual interest versus county bonds and cites shifting county support as a reason. Opponents include Lars Skremme and M L Bowman with other figures like Senator Ray Scott and Senator Frank Shane mentioned as possible lieutenant governor candidates. In Dubuque Joseph W Kehoe announces Democratic primary bid to succeed T J O Donnell though not for the O Donnell vacancy. Wil F Byers of Fayette seeks state representative seat after traveling to Paris with the American Legion. Thore Thompson Wade a former Fayette representative is expected to run again.
