Red Ink Magazine October 1934 Bismarck North Dakota

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Volume 1 # 3 of Red Ink Magazine. Sam Clark ran Red Ink Publishers in Bismarck, and was responsible for Red Ink, an anti-William Langer magazine. Clark was also critical of those politicians and other important public figures allied with Langer. An important theme running through the magazines was the notion that Clark was bestowing "the truth" upon his readers, and was combating Langer's lies and propaganda. Each issue of Red Ink was filled with both satire and political analysis. *North Dakota Republican William Langer had a colorful political career for decades before he entered the United States Senate. From 1916 to 1920, he served as the state's attorney general, fiercely enforcing Prohibition. During those years, he had led a posse against illegal liquor stores, commandeered telephone lines during a vice raid, censured 275 North Dakota schools for failing to display the American flag, been blamed for the suicide of a former attorney general, and escaped impeachment by one vote. His unorthodox methods, Langer conceded, "tended to make feelings rather bitter." A vigorous champion of the North Dakota farmers, Langer enjoyed immense popularity and in 1932 won the governorship. In 1934, following conviction on charges of political corruption, he was removed from office, but after a reversal on appeal and two new trials, he was exonerated and again elected governor. In 1940 Langer won a seat in the United States Senate. Langer was investigated by the Senate and served in the Senate until 1959. 5 ½” x 7 ½” and 64 pages. Cover wear and a few small tears inside and out. Some back cover soiling. See scans.
