Rep. Alice Robertson (R-Oklahoma), defeated in her bid for re-election, says there was a lot of election cheating.
Annie Dickie Olesen blames her defeat for US Senate from Minnesota on “Republican newspaper propaganda, usually contained in this sentence: ‘She is a nice little woman, but she cannot win.’” Henrik Shipstead, who won, will be the only member of the Farmer-Labor Party in the Senate, for a few months anyway.
More wets are elected to Congress, and Andrew Volstead (R-Minn.) himself is voted out, though losing to a Lutheran minister, Ole Kvale, who’s even drier than he is (and another Farmer-Laborer). Federal prohibition authorities say the wet majorities in New York and New Jersey won’t cause them to ease up on those states.
The South is “solid South” for Democrats again after victories in various congressional and gubernatorial elections.
Lee Tittle, who lost his Republican primary challenge against US senator from Washington Miles Poindexter, who subsequently lost the general election to Clarence Dill, kills himself by drinking poison, but are you KIDDING me with these names?
The NYT talks about rising “Fascisti” activity in Bavaria. One thing I’ve been curious about was when Nazis were first referred to as fascists, and here it is. Also, I believe we have the 1st NYT mention of a certain someone: “The leader of the movement... is one Herr Hittler [sic], who is said to be desirous of becoming a Bavarian Mussolini.”
