Abstract:

Josiah W. Bailey and Angus Wilton McLean vied with each other for the Democratic nomination in the 1924 gubernatorial election. Fifty-one year old Bailey was defeated by McLean but his campaign is still significant in shaping his future political endeavors. The author analyses this specific campaign to highlight the beginnings of Bailey's political ideals which he would later use as a U.S. Senator during the Depression and World War II.
