Political Crumbs

In Monday evening’s Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire, 100 references were made by the seven candidates to “America,” the “United States” or the “Constitution.”

Republican William Stafford and Socialist Victor Berger squared off against each other 10 times in Wisconsin 5th CD U.S. House elections between 1902 and 1928.

During and after the Civil War, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court consisted of three members, justices earned a salary ($2,500) twice of that as the governor of the Badger State ($1,250).
