Avalanche of Republican gains sweeps across the nation
The article notes a sweeping Republican victory from north to south and west, with 12 states remaining in the Democratic South. It cites large cross state margins fueled by women’s votes, lists states won, electoral totals around 404 to 327, and Republican control of the Senate and a large House majority. It recalls Champ Clark’s defeat and Miss Alice Robertson’s Oklahoma win, ending with a light note on Postmaster NeMillen’s failed Yankee Doodle joke.
