I see you've come here for the tea. If you'd like a list of the most interesting and polarizing political stories of 1936, this is where you'll find them.
List of Mayors
[edit]Name | Municipality | Party | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Heber Elliott Basham | La Center, Washington | Basham was a very polarizing figure. Faced several recall petitions, city council was completely divided. In 1937, one such recall was locally dubbed "the Battle of La Center." | |
Willis Edward Mahoney | Klamath Falls, Oregon | Democratic | While Mahoney often cooled down when in office, his campaigning career was vicious, frequently contemporarily described as "wild," and left massive political fallout. |
Thomas Joseph McCarvel | Anaconda, Montana | Democratic | McCarvel's tenure was marked by constant litigation, interpersonal disputes, alleged misconduct, violence, and political fights over labor. |
Dr. Frank McGinley Alexander | Hysham, Montana | Dr. Alexander was arrested in 1941 due to his violation to the Narcotics Act. He was allegedly selling off drugs to addicts. | |
Dr. James William Williamson | Shelby, Montana | Charged in January 1940 for performing a fatal abortion on a Blackfoot girl. He was acquitted later that month. |
