1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Illinois
In the November 1912 state elections, the Republicans lost control of the state due to the Republican / Progressive split. But while the Democrats held a plurality of the Illinois General Assembly, they did not have a majority. The General Assembly took up the matter of electing the senators on February 1. The General Assembly therefore failed to elect until after the new congress began.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Illinois
On March 26, in a compromise arranged by governor Dunne, the General Assembly elected Democrat J. Hamilton Lewis to fill the full-term seat and Republican Lawrence Y. Sherman to fill the two remaining years of a vacancy that had just recently opened.

On April 12, 1912, five-term Republican incumbent Shelby Moore Cullom lost renomination to Lieutenant Governor of Illinois Lawrence Y. Sherman in the Republican "advisory" primary, where the voters expressed their preference for senator but the decision was not binding on the General Assembly, which made the actual choice.

1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Illinois, Illinois (Special)
Three months after the primary in which Sherman defeated Cullom, the U.S. Senate invalidated Lorimer's 1909 election and declared the seat vacant. The Illinois Attorney General, William H. Stead determined that the General Assembly had failed to properly elect Lorimer in 1909 and so the Governor could not appoint a replacement. As a result, the General Assembly had a second Senate seat to fill.

1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Maryland (Special)
Lee presented his credentials to serve as senator on December 5, 1913, but he did not qualify until January 28, 1914 because Jackson claimed that "since [Jackson] had been appointed under the original constitutional provision, [Jackson] was entitled to hold his seat until the regularly scheduled adjournment date of the Maryland state assembly." The Senate considered Jackson's challenge but eventually rejected it and seated Lee.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Maryland (Special)
Lee would only serve this one term, as he lost renomination in 1916.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Massachusetts

Percy had won in 1910 (to finish a vacant term) despite Vardaman's support of a plurality of legislators (all white). The fractured remainder sought to thwart his extreme racial policies. A majority united behind Percy to block Vardaman's election. Percy had advocated education for blacks and worked to improve race relations by appealing to the planters' sense of noblesse oblige. Disenfranchisement of blacks made the Democratic primary became the deciding competitive race for state and local offices in Mississippi.

In this rematch, Vardaman's campaign was managed by Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi (and future-senator) Theodore Bilbo, who emphasized class tensions and racial segregation. The tactics attacked Percy as a representative of the aristocracy of the state and for taking a progressive stance on race relations.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Mississippi

Fall, a powerful attorney, former territorial attorney general, future Secretary of the Interior, and instigator of the Teapot Dome scandal)


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, New Mexico, New Mexico (Initial)
Catron made a personal alliance with Fall, ensuring that each of them would be elected. This alliance antagonized New Mexicans of Spanish heritage, who had hoped that one of their own would become a Senator.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, New Mexico, New Mexico (Regular)
Fall's term would end in March 1913, so he was up for re-election shortly after his initial term began.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, New Mexico, New Mexico (Regular)
The bitterness over Catron and Fall's alliance made Fall a target of the local Republican Party, as they believed Fall had not contributed sufficiently to their efforts to secure New Mexico's statehood, and was not worthy of their nomination. The selection of Catron and Fall also disappointed Hispanics, who had hoped that one of their own would be selected. Fall was also severely disliked by Democrats.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, New Mexico, New Mexico (Regular)
After various votes, the legislature re-elected Fall January 28, 1913.

1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Oregon
One-term Republican Jonathan Bourne Jr. had championed direct-election of senators but lost renomination as a Republican. He then ran in the popular election as a "Popular Government" candidate, but also lost re-election. Democratic Mayor of Portland Harry Lane was elected.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Oregon
The ballot was cluttered. In addition to the Lane and Ben Selling, candidate of the conservative wing of the Republican Party, progressive Republicans had other electoral alternatives, including the candidate and the incumbent senator Jonathan Bourne Jr., who had failed to win the renomination of the Republican party and ran as the "Popular Government" nominee as a result. Meanwhile, Benjamin F. Ramp stood for the Socialists and yet another candidate was the nominee of the Prohibition Party.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Oregon
Each of these six candidates took more than 5% of the vote — a fact which enabled the Lane to win election with a plurality of the vote in solidly Republican Oregon. Intent on proving himself a man of the people, Harry Lane set what might be a record for campaign frugality in his victorious effort, with his entire race run for $75 plus travel expenses.


1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, Oregon
The Oregon Legislature thereupon elected Lane to the seat January 21, 1913, ratifying the popular selection made in the November 1912 elections.

1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections, South Carolina
Incumbent Democrat Benjamin Tillman, serving since 1895, drew opposition in the Democratic primary for the first time during his career. He had long avoided any opposition because of his influence in the Democratic Party in the state, but by 1912 he had moderated his positions and lost the radical edge that had allowed him to build up a hard core following of support. The radicals in the state electorate had thrown their support to Coleman Livingston Blease in the gubernatorial election of 1910 and the Bleasites were determined to knock his chief opponent, Tillman, out of office. W. Jasper Talbert emerged as the candidate of the Bleasites and Nathaniel B. Dial entered the race as an alternative to the two. The voters of the state split their support between the Tillmanite and Bleasite factions as both Tillman and Blease won their respective primaries.

1912 in Victorian soccer
The 1912 Victorian soccer season was the fourth competitive season of soccer in the Australian state of Victoria, under association with the governing body of Football Victoria. The season consisted of the fourth installment of the Dockerty Cup, and two premiership leagues then known as 'Division 1' and 'Division 2'. Division 1 was the first season of the reformed 'Amateur League', which is presently recognized as being the fourth season of first tier Victorian state soccer that is now formally known as the National Premier Leagues Victoria. Division 2 was introduced as the second tier of Victorian state soccer that is now formally known as the National Premier Leagues Victoria 2.


1912 in Victorian soccer, Overview, Dockerty Cup
The fourth tournament of the Dockerty Cup saw the first occasion in which a Metropolitan Melbourne team played against a regional Victorian team in the Grand final. Melbourne based Yarraville defeated regional club Wonthaggi Rangers 3–0 in the final, marking Yarraville's first occurrence in the club's history to have achieved a double in both winning the highest premiership league and the cup in the same season. The lead up to the final as of 2020 remains unknown.


1912 in Victorian soccer, Overview, Premiership season
The premiership season saw an abundance of change, first with the rebranding of the 'Victorian Amateur League' becoming the 'Victorian Division 1', and for the first time in Football Victoria history, the establishment of its first ever second tier competition, the 'Victorian Division 2'. Division 1 grew from Division 2 to Division 1 for its first season, but became effective in the 1913 season, but relegation from Division 1 to Division 2 was effective immediately.


1912 in Victorian soccer, Overview, Premiership season
At the conclusion of the 1911 season, Division 1 teams Williamstown changed its name to 'Yarraville', and South Melbourne also changed its name, renaming as 'Albert Park'. The league grew from seven teams to eleven with four new clubs being established, consisting of Birmingham Victoria, Footscray United, Melbourne Thistle and Sunshine. The reformed Yarraville won its first premiership under its new name (second as a club) after a difficult season in which all but one team did not play the required twenty matches that they were supposed too.


1912 in Victorian soccer, Overview, Premiership season
Fitzroy and newly established Sunshine, both of whom only played fifteen matches became the first teams in history to be relegated. The season's conclusion also saw the folding of its second team, foundation club Carlton United being the most successful at the time, having been tier one league premiers and Dockerty Cup winners on two occasions each.


1912 in Victorian soccer, Overview, Premiership season
The results of the first season of the Victorian Division 2 are still being confirmed as of 2020, with only one known team being documented as having competed. It is believed that the newly established Preston were the premiers and would feature in the completely documented 1913 season.

1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia
In Forsyth County, Georgia, in September 1912 two separate alleged attacks on white women resulted in black men being accused as suspects. One white woman accused two black men of breaking into her home in Big Creek Community and one of raping her. Another teenage  woman was fatally beaten and raped  in the Oscarville Community. Earnest Knox was linked to the Oscarville murder along with his half brother by a hair comb sold to him at the Oscarville store. When confronted, he confessed to the Sheriff and implicated his half brother and mother’s live-in boyfriend. His mother testified against the sons during the jury trial which sentenced both to hanging. 21 days later the sentence was carried out.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia
In the Big Creek assault, a black preacher and his congregation drove to Cumming to demand the release of the men being held for the rape of a young girl from the Big Creek Community. He threatened to blow up the town if the man was not released. This resulted in a white counter mob showing up in confrontation. Tempers flared and the preacher was harshly beaten for having been heard to suggest that the first woman may have had a consensual relationship with a black man. The Forsyth County Sheriff locked the preacher inside the court house over night to protect him from the mob waiting outside.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia
Rob Edwards was arrested for the second murder and rape and was being held in the small 20x20 foot jail in Cumming. He was taken from the jail by a white mob, shot and beaten to death. His body was hanged from the telephone pole which stood near the entrance of the present City Hall. In all five black men were charged in the second crime, and Rob Edwards who was lynched by a mob. Two youths (aged 16 and 17) in the case were convicted of rape and murder by a jury and sentenced to death by hanging.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia
In 1910 more than 1,000 black people lived in the county, which had more than 10,000 white people. After the trials and executions, bands of white men, known as Night Riders from Cherokee and other nearby counties threatened and intimidated Black inhabitants. These families fled and sold their property at discounted prices with most fleeing to Hall and Gwinnett Counties. Within the next four months, an estimated 98% of the blacks living in the county had left due to Night Rider threats. Night Riders next moved on to Dawson and Hall Counties where they attempted to do the same. They were finally stopped when eleven Night Riders were arrested by the Hall County Sheriff.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia
This racial expulsion or racial cleansing was explored in the documentary Banished: American Ethnic Cleansings, aired on PBS in 2015 in its Independent Lens series.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Background
After the American Civil War, black slaves in the South were emancipated and granted citizenship and the franchise through constitutional amendments. But by the turn of the 20th century, all Southern states  disfranchised  blacks by passing constitutions and other laws to impede voter registration and voting. Georgia Democrats passed such a law in 1908, resulting in the disfranchisement of  blacks in the state. In addition, the white-dominated Southern legislatures passed laws imposing racial segregation in public facilities, and Jim Crow customs ruled. Most rural blacks worked as sharecroppers on white-owned land, and were seldom able to get free from poverty.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Background
The Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 was waged by whites against blacks, and reflected tensions in a city that was rapidly changing. Dr. Ansel Strickland, a doctor in Cumming, wrote a firsthand account saying that "hundreds of Black were killed" by whites in the Atlanta riot. The rate of lynchings of blacks by whites in Georgia and the South had been high since the late 19th century, and accounts of lynchings were regularly published in the local papers, often maintaining that the blacks were responsible, guilty either of a crime or poor attitude. Lynchings were a means by whites to enforce white supremacy in social affairs, and ensure that blacks stayed in line.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Background
In the 1910 census, Forsyth County was recorded as having more than 10,000 whites, 858 blacks and 440 mulattoes (or mixed race). The mixed-race individuals were proof that the official ban against interracial relationships was not absolute; white men had frequently crossed the line with black or mixed-race women.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Attack of Ellen Grice
On the night of September 5, 1912, Ellen Grice, a 22-year-old white woman and wife of a highly respected farmer, alleged that Toney Howell and his associate Isaiah Pirkle, two black men, attempted to rape her, but were surprised and frightened away by her mother.

Within days, Forsyth County Sheriff William Reid detained these two black men, in addition to suspects Fate Chester, Johnny Bates, and Joe Rogers. All five men were placed in the small Forsyth County jail located near the Cumming, Georgia town square.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Attack of Ellen Grice, Assault on Grant Smith
After the news came out about the attack on Grice, Grant Smith, a black preacher at a local Cumming church, was heard to suggest at a barbecue that maybe the woman had lied about the event after having been caught in a consensual act with a black man. Outraged whites horse-whipped the preacher in front of the courthouse, and by the time Sheriff Reid rescued him and took him inside, Smith was near death.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Attack of Ellen Grice, Assault on Grant Smith
Despite appeals by Sheriff Reid and local ministers for a growing crowd to disperse, angry whites attempted to storm the courthouse. Deputy Sheriff Mitchell Lummus had locked Smith in the large courthouse vault and saved his life. No one was ever arrested or tried for the assault on Smith.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Attack of Ellen Grice, Whites patrol streets
Based on rumors that blacks at a nearby church barbecue threatened to dynamite the town, armed white men patrolled Cumming to prevent such action. Fearing a race riot, Governor Joseph Mackey Brown declared martial law and activated 23 members of the National Guard from Gainesville, Georgia, who successfully kept the peace.

Later that day, Sheriff Reid sent Smith, Howell, Pirkle, and the other three black suspects to the Cobb County jail in nearby Marietta for safety. Fearing that a mob from Cumming was en route, Governor Brown arranged for the prisoners and Smith to be moved again for their protection, this time to the Fulton County jail in Atlanta. No mob formed in Marietta.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Attack of Ellen Grice, Toney Howell convicted
The police said that Toney Howell had confessed to assaulting and raping Ellen Grice and had also implicated Pirkle as an accomplice. Howell was tried by an all-white jury (blacks were excluded as jurors because they were largely prevented from voting) and convicted in February 1913.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault
On September 9, 1912, Sleety Mae Crow, a white girl aged 18, was allegedly attacked in the afternoon by Ernest Knox, age 16. She was walking from home to her aunt's house nearby on Browns Bridge Road along the Forsyth-Hall county line. Knox was said to strike her from behind and drag her down a gully in the woods. Resisting, Crow  pulled up a young dogwood tree by the roots. Knox allegedly raped the girl and struck her at least three times in the head with a large stone, crushing her skull.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault
Sleety Mae Crow's death has never been solved. After Knox allegedly told three friends what he had done, they went to see for themselves. They were Oscar Daniel, 17; Oscar's sister Trussie "Jane" Daniel, 22; and Jane's live-in boyfriend Robert "Big Rob" Edwards, 24, a close neighbor. They allegedly discussed disposing of Crow's body in the nearby Chattahoochee River, but reportedly decided that was too risky, leaving her in the woods. These allegations were never proven. The alleged confession and evidence were attained by threating Knox by drowning him in a well.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Arrest of Ernest Knox
The next morning, searchers found Mae Crow at 9 a.m. She was half naked, covered with leaves, and lying face down in a pool of dry blood. She was still alive and breathing shallowly. At the scene of the alleged rape, searchers found a small pocket mirror that was said to belong to Ernest Knox. Police arrested him at home, taking him to the Gainesville, Georgia county jail to avoid the recent turmoil of Cumming. On the way Knox, after being subjected to a "form of torture known as mock lynching", confessed to having attacked Crow.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Arrest of Ernest Knox
When word spread of the attack on Crow, a white lynch mob began to form that afternoon at the Gainesville jail. At midnight police officers took Knox by car to Atlanta to prevent a lynching.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Suspects arrested; one lynched
Oscar Daniel, Jane Daniel, and Rob Edwards were all arrested the next day as suspects in Crow's attack, as was their neighbor Ed Collins, held as a witness. They were taken to the county jail in Cumming, where an estimated crowd of 2,000 whites had formed by the time Sheriff Reid got them to the jail.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Suspects arrested; one lynched
Later that day a lynch mob of an estimated several hundred to 4,000 whites attacked the county jail. Some men gained entry and shot and killed Edwards in his cell, then dragged his body through the streets, and hanged him from a telephone pole on the Cumming town square. His body was so mutilated that early newspaper accounts identified it as Ed Collins. A deputy sheriff hid the other suspects in the alleged rape cases from the mob. Sheriff Reid had left the vicinity.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Trial
Charges against Trussie Daniel and Ed Collins were dismissed; she agreed to a plea bargain and testifying as a state witness against her brother and Knox. Knox and Oscar Daniel stood trial. Each of the youths was quickly convicted of rape and murder by the all-white jury.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Mae Crow assault, Trial
On the following day, October 4, both teenagers were sentenced to death by hanging, scheduled for October 25. State law prohibited public hangings. The scheduled execution was to be viewed only by the victim's family, a minister, and law officers. Gallows were built off the square in Cumming. A fence erected around the gallows was burned down the night before the execution. A crowd estimated at between 5,000 and 8,000 gathered to watch what became a public hanging of the two youths. The total county population was around 12,000 at the time.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Aftermath: racial expulsion
In the following months, a small group of men called “Night Riders” terrorized black citizens, warning them to leave in 24 hours or be killed. Those who resisted were subjected to further harassment, including shots fired into their homes, or livestock killed. Some white residents tried to stop the Night Riders, but were unsuccessful. An estimated 98% of black residents of Forsyth County left. Some property owners were able to sell, likely at a loss. The renters and sharecroppers left to seek safer places.


1912 racial conflict in Forsyth County, Georgia, Aftermath: racial expulsion
Those who had to abandon property, and failed to continue paying property tax, eventually lost their lands, and whites took it over. Many black properties ended up in white hands without a sale and without a legal transfer of title. Much of this land was in the village of Oscarville, Georgia. Eventually, this village is now under the waters of the Lake Lanier. This anti-black campaign was widespread across Appalachian Georgia, with Forsyth County being the third to expel its black population after Towns and Union, whilst whites soon afterwards expelled blacks from the surrounding counties of Fannin, Gilmer and Dawson.

While Columbia choose to play games against the IHA opponents regardless of their place in the league, the Columbia athletic committee decided to uphold its own eligibility requirements (four years of eligibility) regardless of what the IHA rules were. After a resolution could not be reached, Columbia left the IHA in mid-December. Fortunately, despite resigning from the IHA, the St. Nicholas rink did become available for the team afterwards. J. S.
