This chapter discusses Isaac Mayer Wise’s advocacy in Cleveland. The mood of elation which had borne him to Cleveland remained after his longed-for conference opened. Both as regards locality and viewpoint, diverse congregations were represented. Shortly after opening, the conference proceeded to elect officers, and Wise was chosen president; Elkan Cohn, his successor at Albany, vice-president; and Max Lilienthal, his associate in Cincinnati, secretary. If any permanent structure was to ensue, Wise would be in an advantageous position to take first place; more immediately, the election placed control in the hands of the Reform element and increased the suspicion felt by the Orthodox.
