As printed: NINE SENATE SEATS IN MID-WEST FIGHT
ContextA third of the Senate and the whole House are elected every second year; Republicans hold both chambers, with Calvin Coolidge in the White House. The Volstead act is the law enforcing national Prohibition, and "Newberryism" refers to Truman Newberry of Michigan, who resigned his Senate seat in 1922 after a dispute over campaign spending.
