Republican Primaries May 21
I f nominated for President, Governor Lowden will,
in the opinion of the leaders, unite all factions of the
party. H e is perhaps the only candidate mentioned ac
ceptable to the old leaders as well as to the Progressive
element. He has succeeded in uniting all elements in the
Republican party in Illinois, and even the Democratic
state convention, in 1918, unanimously passed a resolu
tion commending Governor Lowden for his patriotism
and splendid business administration, an unusual action
heretofore unheard of by an opposite political party in
the history of Illinois, or any other state, for that matter.
