Vice President Dawes has launched his crusade against existing tates in the US senate. He spends part of the summer traveling and explaining his position on the matters. Many older and more conservative members oppose his campaign, as does President Coolidge.

Democratic prospects appear stronger in the Senate, while Republicans face a bleak outlook due to past party purges and progressive defections.
Clarence Darrow, famed Chicago criminal lawyer who defended Leopold and Loeb, announces retirement after decades of tireless work.
