MISCELLANIA
Hoover, considered a liberal Republican,
promised a chicken in every pot; instead, the
stock market crashed and when he left office
the economic life of the country was near
disaster. He was defeated for re-election by a
landslide. The voters were so eager for a suc-
cessor to be nominated that this helped bring
about the 20th amendment to the Constitu-
tion advancing the new President's inaugura-
tion to January 20 and the opening of the
new Congress to January 3.
The Republicans carried Maryland in this
election except for the Counties of Queen
Anne's and St. Mary's.
