Republicans for McCarthy's Seat
Image
After the death of Joseph R. McCarthy in May, 1957, seven Republicans ran in the special primary election. The most serious candidates were Congressman Glenn Davis on the left, Lt. Governor Warren P. Knowles (third from the left), and state legislator Gerald Lorge next to him. On the right are Congressman Alvin O'Konski, and former Governor Walter Jr. Kohler, Jr. next to him. Kohler won, but was defeated by Democrat William Proxmire in the general election.
