Minnesota elects Harold Stassen youngest governor at 31
Harold E. Stassen, age 31, becomes Minnesota's governor elect after a decisive victory over Governor Benson's Farmer-Labor ticket.

The shift signals a sweeping party realignment, as several veteran Republicans win key posts and the party secures a solid majority in Congress seats.
