I wonder if the state Republican Committee also ran ads? (I imagine Presidents Grant and Clark weren’t too thrilled to see this ad.)
SO who’s the missing senator? I thought it was Smoot, but Wikipedia says he retired in 1934, so he wasn’t up for election.
Gary, I’ve seen ads for individual Republicans; don’t recall if I’ve seen a group ad like this one. I really do wonder how far up the chain from ad salesman to editor this ran by — it’s an interesting question, isn’t it?
Clark, Elbert D. Thomas, a Democrat, defeated Smoot in 1932 so wasn’t up for reelection this year. I don’t know whether he supported FDR’s New Deal, but I suppose the Democratic Committee wouldn’t have used space to promote anybody who wasn’t actually on the ballot. You might remember Elbert D. Thomas was a missionary to Japan.
For some reason, this brings to mind the time, not so very long ago, when a former general authority running on the GOP ticket for Utah governor, was soundly thrashed by the immensely popular Democrat.
On the other hand, it does seem like a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
