Wisconsin Nepotism Battle Weighs Campaign Fare
In the 1934 race for Wisconsin’s Tenth District Representative Hubert Peavey faced Bernard Gehrmann over nepotism claims. Gehrmann attacked Peavey for employing his wife as a secretary, while Gehrmann’s own relatives held various federal posts. The piece notes the later shift in Gehrmann’s career and lists the relatives and salaries involved, totaling $16,180 annually. It also mentions other political bits including anti tobacco sentiments from Justice McReynolds and silver policy debates.
