Beveridge and Pinchot Victories Stir Washington
Washington observers see in the Pennsylvania Pinchot win and Beveridge's candidacy a possible upheaval in Republican and Democratic ranks. Women’s votes emerge as decisive in both Indiana and Pennsylvania, aiding progressives and challenging the old guard. Harding’s cabinet shows a split between progressives and conservatives, with potential shifts toward progressive policies if momentum grows. Democrats welcome intra party friction as they anticipate further realignment or a possible third party movement.
