Rhode Island voters, in a strong rebuke to the Roosevelt administration, chose Republican Charles F. Risk over Antonio Prince in the first district by about 13,000 votes.

Newport elected a Republican mayor for the first time in seventeen years, signaling broad opposition to the administration’s policies across districts.
Voters face seven proposed Texas constitutional amendments in the August 24 election.

An extended piece by D C McIntyre touches on Broadway and New York society.
