Arthur A Huebsch captured the state senate seat while the lower house election produced two Republicans and one Democrat. James T. Igoe won the congressional race. Forest Park saw Democratic gains on straight tickets. Mayor Kasarr and others were defeated. Election day was pleasant but light with notable drop in women voters.
