About This Item

George H. Doran Company, New York: (1926)., 1926 126p. Inked ownership of S. W. McNabb, United States Attorney, Los Angeles. Signed letter from Mr. McNabb to Mr. M. L. Beistle, August 13, 1927, in part stating "the book written by Honorable James M. Beck on the question of investigation by the Senate of the seating of Senator Elect Vare of your state. sending you a copy of this book. which I think from a legal standpoint is absolutely sound". 8vo. Original full blue cloth binding. Hardbound. First Edition. In 1926 Philadelphia Republican political and racket boss, William S. Vare announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. Both the primaries and general election were scandals. After having apparently won the election, then Governor Gifford Pinchot, who had been drubbed by Vare in the primary, refused to certify the election. In January 1927, Pinchot testified before the Senate, producing several thousand illegal paper ballots. Nevertheless, the Senate informed Vare that they would get back to him. In the interim Vare began smoking, drinking and eating to excess. This led in August of 1928 to a stroke that nearly killed him. In December 1929, Vare was summoned before the Senate where he was informed that while he won the election, they could not agree to him being seated. However, Vare took it to mean that he was being denied the seat because of Pinchot's charges. As a result, in the 1930 Gubernatorial Primary, Vare supported the Democratic nominee John Hemphill, who lost to Pinchot. At this point a palace coup emerged at the Republican City Committee, where he was ousted, and replaced by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. Four years later, Vare was attempting a comeback as a Democrat. All the while his health deteriortated, and he died on the sixth anniversary of the 1928 stroke. Beck was a Former Solicitor General of the United States and member of the American Philosophical Society. AMERICANA BOX 8 0.0. 1st Edition.. Hardcover.
