THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS - 1896 & 1898
A few election tidbits from 110-112 years ago when Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg was running for his first term in 1896 and second term in 1898. He won by a landslide in 1896 and handily in 1898 but certainly not by the same wide margin. In 1898, the Populists ran their own candidate as opposed to 1896 when they had fused with the Democrats and supported Governor Steunenberg along with silver Republicans.
