Prison term and fines for Waxey Gordon in tax case
Waxey Gordon known as the New Jersey Beer Baron must serve 10 years at Northeastern Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and pay $80,000 in fines and assessments for income tax evasion. He is pictured being moved to the federal house of detention as authorities carry out the sentence. Obvious widespread election tensions arise as effigies of party leaders are burned and 300 special deputies are sworn in to enforce an injunction against ballot distribution in Tangipapoa, Livingston, and St Helena parishes. Governor Allen had set the election date a week earlier and Mrs Kemp was named the Long candidate to run unopposed for the Congress seat. The maneuver bypasses a party primary, consolidating anti-administration candidates out of the race.

NRA Attacks Regimentation of Industry and Press
A GOP committee pamphlet denounces New Deal programs as Soviet and fascist in intent, attacks coercive tactics, and claims censorship threats against broadcasting stations. It accuses the administration of muzzling the press and criticizes Roosevelt’s policies as unworkable while citing quotes from editorials and officials to argue political opposition in Congress. It also references tax actions against a controversial figure and notes legal proceedings.
