Today -100: June 10, 1926: Why bother with the roof when a big beautiful ballroom is so desperately needed?


The Coolidges will have to vacate the White House for at least 6 months while the roof is replaced. It hasn’t been decided where they’ll be living during that period.

One result of the coup in Poland: deposed former PM Count Aleksander Skrzyński will fight a duel, with sabers and everything, with Gen. Count Stanisław Szeptycki, who refused to shake hands at the Cracow Club. Except the general’s seconds reversed their acceptance of the duel, so now he’ll be fighting those two seconds and his own seconds. Which is a lot of duels.

Rep. W.J. Sears (D-Florida) narrowly defeats a primary challenge from Ruth Bryan Owen, William Jennings Bryan’s daughter.
