Voters Vagaries Reflected In State Election Returns
Official results from state districts reveal surprising shifts in congressional races. Republicans lead by 5,986 statewide, down 1,725 from four years ago and 58,292 from two years ago. In three districts the 1904 result reversed, with Chaney’s lead eroded and Overstreet gaining in the Seventh. Cromer trails by 8,12 from 1902, and the Twelfth flips to Republican. Voters act capriciously, signaling a demand for more candidate qualifications over party loyalty. Gus Condo, blocked from the speakership by Gov. Hanly’s decree, hints that further examinations of state governance may follow.
