The election eye...Reagan arouses GOP Idaho victory spirit Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: At a packed rally in Idaho, Republican leaders, including Ronald Reagan, Sen. James A. McClure, and U.S. Reps. Symms and Hansen, energized the crowd with a message of unity and political strength, while stressing the importance of upcoming legislative races. Reagan's speech, which ran long due to the enthusiastic reception, focused on boosting local candidates and reinforcing Republican momentum ahead of the November election, despite some protests from ERA supporters. Though the Democrats have little to counter the Republican wave, there is concern about the potential for a shift in control of the state legislature, with Republicans urging caution despite their strong position.
