1932 Wyoming Gubernatorial Special Election
The 1932 Wyoming gubernatorial special election took place on November 8, 1932. Just several weeks into his second term, Republican governor Frank Emerson died in office. Secretary of State Alonzo M. Clark ascended to the governorship, and a special election was called for 1934. Clark ran for re-election, but was defeated in the Republican primary by State Treasurer Harry R. Weston. Meanwhile, former state senator Leslie A. Miller, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee against Emerson in 1930, once again ran for the office and won the Democratic primary. In the general election, another close election ensued. But Miller, likely aided by Franklin D. Roosevelt's strong performance in Wyoming in that year's presidential election, narrowly defeated Weston to win his first term as governor. Democratic primary Candidates * Leslie A.

Albert Levitt
Albert Levitt (March 14, 1887 – June 18, 1968) was an American judge, law professor, attorney, and candidate for political office.

After World War I broke out, he twice served, once in the ambulance corps for the French and back in the U.S. Army once the United States joined the war. After the war, he returned to school, obtaining two legal degrees, and joined the Bar. He had a number of teaching positions at various universities, and served briefly as a Federal judge in the Virgin Islands. While there, he issued decrees forcing reluctant local election officials to allow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1932 United States Senate Special Election In Georgia
The 1932 United States Senate elections coincided with Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide victory over incumbent Herbert Hoover in the presidential election. With the Hoover administration widely blamed for the Great Depression, Republicans lost twelve seats and control of the chamber to the Democrats, who won 28 of the 34 contested races (two Democratic incumbents, Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida and John H. Overton of Louisiana, were re-elected unopposed). Among the Republican incumbents defeated in 1932 were Senate Majority Leader James Watson and five-term Senator Reed Smoot, an author of the controversial Smoot-Hawley tariff. This is also one of only five occasions where 10 or more Senate seats changed hands in an election, with the other occasions being in 1920, 1946, 1958, and 1980. As of 2022, this is the last time Democrats won a Senate election in Kansas. Gains and losses Incumbents who lost renomination Democrats took three seats from Republican incumb ...

1932 Georgia Gubernatorial Election
The 1932 Georgia gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1932, in order to elect the Governor of Georgia. Incumbent Democratic Governor Richard Russell Jr. did not run for re-election to a second term, but instead ran for the U.S. Senate.

Doyle E
Doyle is a surname of Irish origin. The name is a back-formation from O'Doyle, which is an Anglicisation of the Irish (), meaning "descendant of ''Dubhghall''". There is another possible etymology: the Anglo-Norman surname ''D'Oyley'' with agglutination of the French article ''de'' (cf. Disney). It means 'from Ouilly', name of a knight who originated from one of the places named Ouilly in Normandy, such as Ouilly-le-Tesson (Calvados, ''Oylley'' 1050), Ouilly-le-Vicomte (Calvados, ''de Oilleio'' 1279), etc. The relationship with the family D'Oyly is unknown. The personal name ''Dubhghall'' contains the elements ''dubh'' "black" + ''gall'' "stranger". Similar Scottish and Irish surnames, derived from the same personal name are: ''MacDougall'' / '' McDougall'' and '' MacDowell'' / '' McDowell''. During the Viking Age the term '' Dubhghoill'' was used to describe the Vikings—usually Danes—and the term ''Fionnghoill'' ("fair foreigners") was used to describe Norwegians. There i ...
