1930 South Carolina gubernatorial election, Democratic primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary for governor in the summer of 1930 and it attracted many politicians because of the change in 1926 to the South Carolina constitution providing for a four-year term. Blackwood emerged victorious from the closely contested runoff against Olin D. Johnston and effectively became the next governor of South Carolina because there was no opposition in the general election.

1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election
The 1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1930. Incumbent Democratic Governor William J. Bulow declined to run for re-election to a third term, instead opting to successfully run for the U.S. Senate. The Republican nomination was hard-fought and the primary was crowded; because no candidate received 35% of the vote, state law required that the nomination be decided at a state party convention. There, former State Senator Warren Green, the last-place finisher in the primary, defeated Secretary of State Gladys Pyle, the plurality winner. In the general election, Green faced D. A. McCullough, the state's Rural Credits Commissioner and the Democratic nominee. Despite Bulow's success in the preceding two elections, Green defeated McCullough by a decisive margin—even as Bulow himself was elected to the U.S. Senate.


1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Republican Primary, Campaign
Following Governor Bulow's decision to run for the U.S. Senate rather than seek re-election, a crowded Republican primary developed to succeed him. When the votes were cast, Secretary of State Gladys Pyle emerged as the narrow plurality winner, but because she received less than 35% of the vote, under state law, the primary winner would be decided by a state party convention.


1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Republican Primary, Campaign
Pyle, as the first-place finisher in the primary, was seen by some observers as a frontrunner heading into the convention. The Huronite argued, "If the [R]epublican state convention nominates Gladys Pyle for governor, she will be elected. . . . And she would make a most excellent governor." In an editorial, the Argus Leader urged the convention to nominate her: "The smart thing for the Republican Party to do at its convention in Pierre on May 20 is to nominate Miss Gladys Pyle for Governor."


1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Republican Primary, Campaign
But this praise was frequently backhanded; though the Argus Leader endorsed her candidacy, it also noted that "[t]he convention promises to be a colorful affair with the added novelty a woman candidate" and that "Miss Pyle's great strength is that the women voted for her. In other words, it was another manifestation of the eternal battle  of the sexes. Every husband knows about it."


1930 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Republican Primary, Campaign
At the convention, following twelve ballots, Green, the last-place finisher in the primary, was nominated over Pyle. Green was finally put over the edge as the consensus choice when Howell dropped out and urged his supporters to back Green. Pyle had led most of the twelve ballots, but was unable to win enough support to receive majority support. In defeat, however, Pyle was offered the vice-chairmanship of the state party, which she declined, noting that it would be impossible for her to continue her service as Secretary of State and serve in a party leadership role.

1930 Targa Florio
The 1930 Targa Florio was a non-championship Grand Prix motor race held on a 67 mile (108 km) course made up of public roads on the mountainous Italian island of Sicily.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
Yet again in 1930 Maserati strove to win the Targa Florio. The new 2.5L cars made their debut in this race and four were entered for Luigi Arcangeli, Baconin Borzacchini and Ernesto Maserati. The opposition included a strong entry of Bugattis and OMs and from Scuderia Ferrari (now entering cars on behalf of the Alfa works) one of the rebuilt P2 for Achille Varzi and 1,75Occ six-cylinder cars for Tazio Nuvolari, Giuseppe Campari and Count Aymo Maggi. Campari was originally supposed to drive a P2, but did not and Luigi Fagioli was on the roster for the Maserati team, but didn't appear.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
Scuderia Ferrari set a searing pace from the start of the race and the young and fiery Varzi pulled out a lead of 1½ minutes over team-mate Nuvolari on the first lap. Ernesto Maserati was the highest placed Bologna driver in eighth place, but he gradually fell back further down the field. Arcangeli went off the road on lap 2 because of a locking brake and retired soon afterwards. A lap later race-leader Varzi, with Chiron's Bugatti now hot on his heels, found himself in trouble. His P2 had shed its spare wheel which had damaged the fuel tank as it fell off. At the end of the lap Varzi rushed into the pits, all four wheels were changed, the mechanic grabbed a can of fuel and the Alfa roared back into the race.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
When the fuel level became low and the Alfa's engine started to misfire, the mechanic knelt on his seat and began to pour the fuel from the can into the rear-mounted tank. The Alfa was bouncing badly over the rough Sicilian roads, much of the fuel was spilled and some drops falling on the hot exhaust ignited. The flames shot up round the driver's neck, but Varzi drove on while the mechanic beat them out with a scat cushion. Eventually the fire was extinguished, but valuable time had been lost and Chiron was now in the lead.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
It was not, however, destined to be a Bugatti race and on the run down from the town of Polizzi Chiron's brakes locked up on the loose surface and the Type 35 smashed into a retaining wall. Chiron rejoined the race to finish second behind Varzi and Conelli took third place for Bugatti ahead of the Alfa Romeos of Campari and Nuvolari. The Maseratis of Ernesto Maserati and Borzacchini finished eighth and eleventh.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
Because of the extreme length of the course, the last driver to finish finished one hour and 21 minutes behind Varzi.


1930 Targa Florio, Race
This was the last time the 67 mile variant of the Targa Florio course was used. For the following year, the original 92 mile variant was used because the exclusive section of the medium course that ran through the town of Polizzi was hit by a rainstorm and was deemed in no state to be driven on, and in 1932, a shorter 44 mile variant was used; which was the variant used until the final race in 1977.

1930 Toronto municipal election
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1930. In a close mayoral election Bert Wemp ousted two term incumbent Sam McBride. The main issue of the election was a proposed downtown beautification scheme that would have rebuilt roads in the core. The proposal was rejected in a referendum after voters in the suburbs voted against it. McBride was the plan's leading proponent, and its rejection hurt his reelection bid.


1930 Toronto municipal election, Toronto mayor

1930 Tour de France
The 1930 Tour de France was the 24th edition of the Tour de France, taking place from 2 to 27 July. It consisted of 21 stages over 4,822 km (2,996 mi).


1930 Tour de France
The 24th tour de France introduced a new format to team racing; teams were organised by country with ten riders per team. This format proved to be a very successful format for the French riders, six of which placed in the top ten. André Leducq was the star of the French team, winning the overall classification, however, Charles Pélissier, who finished ninth overall achieved a stunning eight stage wins.


1930 Tour de France, Innovations and changes
Tour director Henri Desgrange had tried many things to remove the team tactics from the Tour de France, because he wanted the race to be won on individual strength. In 1929, he had removed the sponsors, but this had had no effect; the Alcyon team members still cooperated and managed to let Maurice Dewaele win the race, even though he was sick. For 1930, Desgrange replaced the trade teams by national teams.


1930 Tour de France, Innovations and changes
He gave up on the idea that he could keep team tactics away from the Tour, but decided that he could still try to keep commercial team tactics away. The race started with five national teams of eight cyclists each, completed by 60 touriste-routiers. All cyclists raced on identical, yellow-coloured bicycles.


1930 Tour de France, Innovations and changes
The trade teams did not like the national teams, because they lost the publicity during the most important race of the season, while they still had to pay for the riders' salary. The trade teams used to supply food, transport and lodging for the cyclists during the race, but now the Tour organisation had to pay for all this. To pay for this, the publicity caravan was started. In 1930, only three companies were in that publicity caravan, but it has grown since. The most popular sponsor in the publicity was Menier chocolates, whose advertising manager had advised the Tour organisation to start the publicity caravan; 500.000 fans came to the Tour de France stages early to receive chocolate handouts.


1930 Tour de France, Innovations and changes
In 1929, all cyclists had to do their own repairs, and had to finish with their bicycle they started with. This had caused Victor Fontan to quit the race while he was leading. In 1930, this rule was abandoned, and from now on, cyclists could get help when they had mechanical problems.


1930 Tour de France, Innovations and changes
From 1927 to 1929, some stages were run in the team-time-trial format. This was completely abandoned in 1930.

Two extra prizes were given in 1930, donated by the Soors brothers from Grand Sport. The cyclist who led the general classification, and therefore wore the yellow jersey, received the Maillot d'or (French for golden jersey), which was 1000 francs for every stage. The best touriste-routier in the general classification received the Maillot d'argent (French for silver jersey), which was 500 francs per stage. Despite the name, there was no silver jersey worn by the best touriste-routier.


1930 Tour de France, Teams
For the first time, the Tour was run with national teams. Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany and France each sent a team composed of eight cyclists. Additionally, 60 cyclists started as touriste-routiers, most of them French. Some of them were grouped in regional teams.


1930 Tour de France, Teams
One of the notable cyclists was Alfredo Binda, riding in the Italian national team. He had dominated the Giro d'Italia in the recent years, winning the 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1929 editions; in 1929 he had done so by winning eight consecutive stages. For the 1930 Giro d'Italia, he was paid money not to compete, so he started in the Tour de France that year.


1930 Tour de France, Teams
The French team was captained by Victor Fontan, who had been leading the 1929 Tour de France until he had to abandon the race due to mechanical problems. The Belgian team had Jef Demuysere as the favourite.


1930 Tour de France, Route and stages
The highest point of elevation in the race was 2,556 m (8,386 ft) at the summit tunnel of the Col du Galibier mountain pass on stage 16.


1930 Tour de France, Route and stages
Charles Pélissier won four stages in a row. He was the last cyclist to do this, until Mario Cipollini repeated this in 1999. Pélissier had also crossed the line first in the sixth stage, but was relegated because he had pulled Binda's jersey. He also finished in second place seven times, and finished in the top-three eighteen out of 21 times.


1930 Tour de France, Route and stages
Pélissier was dominating the flat stages, but lost time on the mountain stages. In stage 9, he finished in fifteenth place, losing more than 23 minutes, in stage 14 he lost another 75 seconds to Leducq, and in stage 15 he lost more than 50 minutes, finishing 31st. Pélissier's eight stage victories in one Tour is still a record; it has since been equalled by Eddy Merckx in 1970 and 1974, and Freddy Maertens in 1976.


1930 Tour de France, Race overview
In the first stage, Charles Pélissier won, and he became leader of the race, the third of the Pélissier brothers to do so. In the first stages, before the Pyrenees, the sprinters were battling for stage victories. The Italian Learco Guerra dominated the race. For the general classification, no big things happened, except for the fall of Alfredo Binda in the seventh stage, which caused him to lose one hour, and abandon his hopes for the Tour victory. Binda won the eighth and ninth stage, before he dropped out in the tenth stage. In the ninth stage, touriste-routier Benoît Fauré led the race over the first mountains, and dropped many cyclists. In the end, he was dropped by Binda, Leducq, Pierre Magne and Antonin Magne.


1930 Tour de France, Race overview
In the sixteenth stage, going down from the Galibier, the leader of the race André Leducq fell down. He lost consciousness, and when he woke up, Pierre Magne put him back on his bicycle, and his French teammates helped him to get back. Learco Guerra, second placed in the general classification with a margin of more than 16 minutes, saw an opportunity and was away as fast as he could, together with Jef Demuysere. Just before the climb of the Col du Télégraphe, Leducq's pedal broke. His teammate Marcel Bidot got a pedal from a spectator's bicycle. Leducq thought of abandoning the race, but he was convinced by his teammates to get back on his bicycle. They had 60 km to go, and managed to get back to Guerra. In the end, Leducq even managed to win the sprint.


1930 Tour de France, Race overview
With no more mountain stages to come, Leducq had secured his victory. Charles Pélissier made the victory of the French team even more glorious, as he won the last four stages.


1930 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
In all stages, all cyclists started together. The cyclist to reach the finish first was the winner of the stage. The time that each cyclist required to finish the stage was recorded. For the general classification, these times were added together; the cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey.


1930 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
The touriste-routiers had been divided into regional teams, for which a separate team classification was made. The South-East team became the winner of this classification. For touriste-routiers, cyclists that were not part of national teams, there were additional awards. The best-placed touriste-routier received a prize, but was not identified by a jersey. Some of the touriste-routiers were assigned to a regional team. A regional team classification was also made, according to the same rules as the national team classification.


1930 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
The organing newspaper, l'Auto named a meilleur grimpeur (best climber), an unofficial precursor to the modern King of the Mountains competition. This award was won by Benoît Fauré.


1930 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
For the first time, there was a team competition. The team classification was calculated in 1930 by adding up the times in the general classification of the three highest ranking cyclists per national team; the national team with the least time was the winner. The team competition for national teams was won by the French team.


1930 Tour de France, Aftermath
The national team format was considered successful by the Tour organisation. It also helped that a French cyclist won the race, which increased newspaper sales for the organising news paper l'Auto. The national team format was kept in the coming years, and only reverted to the trade team system in 1962 temporarily and 1969 permanently.

1930 U.S. Open (golf)
The 1930 U.S. Open was the 34th U.S. Open, held July 10–12 at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minnesota, a suburb southwest of Minneapolis. Bobby Jones won his second consecutive and record-tying fourth U.S. Open title. Having already won the British Amateur and the British Open in June, Jones secured his third consecutive major title of the single-season at the U.S. Open. He completed the grand slam with a victory in late September at Merion in the fourth and final leg, the U.S. Amateur.


1930 U.S. Open (golf)
The 1930 U.S. Open was played in oppressive heat, and the first round on Thursday saw Macdonald Smith and 1927 champion Tommy Armour share the lead, with Jones a stroke behind. Jones was one-under through eight holes in his second round when he hit one of his most famous shots: the "lily pad shot." Jones was attempting to reach the par-5 9th in two shots when two spectators ran onto the fairway during his swing. He mishit the ball toward the lake where it fell about twenty yards short of dry ground.


1930 U.S. Open (golf)
Incredibly, the ball skipped off a lily pad and onto the far bank, just thirty yards short of the green. Jones would get up-and-down for an unlikely birdie, one that only added to his growing legend. Jones finished the round with a 73, putting him at 144 in a tie for second, two strokes behind leader Horton Smith.


1930 U.S. Open (golf)
Jones took command over the final two rounds on Saturday; he shot 68 in the third round in the morning and started the final round with a front-nine 38. However, he ran into trouble with a bogey at 12 and a double bogey at 13. Now leading Smith by only one shot, Jones birdied 14 and 16. After finding the water on 17 and settling for a bogey, he needed to two-putt from 40 feet (12 m) on the 18th for the championship.


1930 U.S. Open (golf)
Instead, he holed out for birdie and a two-stroke victory over Smith, who claimed the $1,000 winner's share of the $5,000 purse as the top professional. In third place was 36-hole leader Horton Smith, who won the first edition of Jones' "Augusta National Invitation Tournament" in 1934, later known as the Masters Tournament, and again in 1936.


1930 U.S. Open (golf)
Jones became the first to successfully defend his Open title since John McDermott in 1911–12. He was now tied with Willie Anderson with four Open titles, but he would not attempt to win a fifth. Only four have won consecutive U.S. Opens since: Ralph Guldahl (1937, 1938), Ben Hogan (1950, 1951), Curtis Strange (1988, 1989), and Brooks Koepka (2017, 2018). After completing the Grand Slam with his U.S. Amateur win, Jones retired from competitive golf at age 28.

1930 United States House of Representatives elections
During the election cycle, the nation was entering its second year of the Great Depression, and Hoover was perceived as doing little to solve the crisis, with his personal popularity being very low. His Republican Party was initially applauded for instituting protectionist economic policies, which were intended to limit imports to stimulate the domestic market: however, after the passage of the heavily damaging Smoot-Hawley Tariff, a policy that was bitterly opposed by the Democratic Party, public opinion turned sharply against Republican policies, and the party  bore the blame for the economic collapse.


1930 United States House of Representatives elections
While the Democrats gained 52 seats in the 1930 midterm elections, Republicans retained a narrow one-seat majority after the polls closed; however, during the 13 months between these elections and the start of the 72nd Congress, 14 members-elect died (including incumbent Speaker Nicholas Longsworth), and the Democrats gained an additional three seats in the special elections called to fill these vacancies, thus gaining control of the House (they held a 219-212 advantage over the Republicans when the new Congress convened).


1930 United States House of Representatives elections
This was the first of four consecutive Depression-era House elections in which Democrats made enormous gains, achieving a cumulative gain of 174 seats. Over the ensuing 64 years (until the 1994 midterm elections), House Republicans would be in the minority for all but four years, winning majorities only in 1946 and in 1952.

The 1930 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 4, 1930.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois
Incumbent Republican Charles S. Deneen was unseated in the Republican primary. Democrat J. Hamilton Lewis, who previously held this Senate seat from 1913 to 1919, won a second nonconsecutive term.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois
This election was notable as being the first instance in which a major party nominated a female candidate for United States Senate, with Ruth Hanna McCormick being the Republican nominee.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois
This was the first time since the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution made U.S. senators popularly elected that a Democrat won a U.S. Senate election in the state of Illinois, and also the first time since the amendment went into effect that a Republican had lost a U.S. Senate election in Illinois.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Election information
The primaries and general election coincided with those for House and those for state elections. The primaries were held April 8, 1930.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Election information, Background
The U.S. Senate seat in question was held by Democrat J. Hamilton Lewis from 1913 to 1919. He lost the seat in the 1918 election (the first to year this seat faced a direct popular vote) to Republican Medill McCormick, the husband of Ruth Hanna McCormick. Medill McCormick lost the Republican primary of the 1924 election to Charles S. Deneen. Deneen went on to win the 1924 general election. McCormick, on February 25, 1925, died in what is considered to have been a suicide (though the suicidal nature of his death was not known to the public, contemporarily), widowing Ruth Hanna McCormick. His reelection loss is believed to have contributed to his suicide.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Election information, Background
In 1927, Medill McCormick's widow, Ruth Hanna McCormick, announced a campaign for one of Illinois' at-large seats in the 1928 election for the U.S. House of Representatives. Campaigning on issues such as her opposition to the World Court, her support of Prohibition, and her support of aid to farmers, she won the election. She won the Republican primary in April 1928 by a nearly 100,000 vote margin-of-victory, which drew significant attention, including being featured on the cover of Time. In November she became the first woman to win statewide election in Illinois, with 1,711,651 votes. She received a larger vote share than any other Republican on the ticket in Illinois, besides presidential nominee Herbert Hoover, and larger than any other member of the House of Representatives that year.

J. Hamilton Lewis had remained active in Democratic politics. He had been waiting for an opportunity to stage a political comeback.

The Wall Street Crash of 1929 had started an economic downturn that would ultimately be known as the Great Depression.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Election information, Background
In recent history, Republicans had dominated U.S. Senate elections in Illinois, with only Republicans having been elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois since popular elections were adopted after the 1912 and 1913 United States Senate elections. At the time, Lewis, in 1913, was the last Democrat the state had elected to the U.S. Senate. Some saw the Republican primary for U.S. senate as tantamount to election in Illinois.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Election information, Background
Only one woman, Rebecca L. Felton (who served for a single day), had ever served in the U.S. Senate, and none had ever been seated by election.

J. Hamilton Lewis declared his candidacy on February 9, 1930.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Democratic primary, Campaign
In his campaign announcement letter to the state and county Democratic committees, he claimed that he had been drafted, writing,


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Democratic primary, Campaign
"I did not seek this nomination. It is well known that after I left the Senate I declined office under the Wilson Administration; equally well known that it is that I declined minority appointements under the Harding and Coolidge Administrations. The material necessities of life have forced me to take this action. I now respond to the invitation and say that I accept."


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Democratic primary, Campaign
Lewis faced only token opposition in the primary, and positioned his campaign to prepare to make his opposition to prohibition the principal issue of the general election campaign. In his announcement letter, he derided Prohibition as, "national tyranny". He declared that he opposed enforcing temperance by law, and preferred it be done by personal will. His announcement letter also advocated for greater relief to farmers. His letter also blamed financial distress experienced in the city of Chicago, and in Cook County as a whole as the fault of the local Republican party.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
On September 22, 1929, Ruth Hanna McCormick announced her intention to run for the Senate against Republican incumbent Charles S. Deneen, who had won the seat from her husband in 1924. She sought the nomination at a time when no woman had ever been elected to the Senate. By October, McCormick had returned to Illinois, visiting the state's various counties to rally support while Deneen was stuck in Washington, D.C., on Senate business.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
McCormick formally launched her campaign January 13, 1930. Newton Jenkins, another challenger to Deneen, formally launched his campaign on February 10, 1930, in Aurora, Illinois. Deneen did not launch his campaign until early March 1930.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
Both McCormick and Deneen were progressives. Deneen was associated with the "reform" branch of the Republican Party, opposed to Chicago mayor William Hale Thompson. McCormick wanted to draw a district separation between herself and the Chicago and Cook County Republican political machine, especially after the Pineapple Primary of 1928. She used the slogan "No favors and no bunk".


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
As an Illinois farm owner, McCormick drew support from farmers in the state, particularly those down-state. However, little attention was paid to by either McCormick or Deneen to the issue of farm cisis, as neither wanted to draw further attention to the economic crisis occurring under the watch of Republican president Herbert Hoover. McCormick campaigned on issues that she felt Deneen was the weakest on, like her opposition to the League of Nations and World Court. She attacked Deneen for supporting the League of Nations.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
She questioned Deneen's commitment to supporting Prohibition, and alleged that he had ties to anti-Prohibition politicians such as Anton Cermak. In turn, Deneen accused McCormick of having ties to the political machine of Chicago mayor William Hale Thompson, pointing to her support of her endorsement from Robert E. Crowe, an ally of Thompson's. In fact, in the primary, McCormick was seen as having received the support of Thompson, who also had a rivalry with Deneen.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
Both Deneen and Newton Jenkins attacked McCormick for the vast amounts of wealth she was spending on the race. McCormick later testified that the primary campaign cost $252,572 of her own money (equivalent to $3,912,853 in 2020), with additional funds being raised from relatives. She made speaking engagements in 100 of the state's 102 counties.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Campaign
While she was a leading women in American politics, McCormick's campaign was not widely embraced as a feminist campaign, in part because many women's groups resented McCormick's opposition to the League of Nations and World Court.

The primary campaign attracted national interest, with two prominent figures battling each other.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Republican primary, Results
McCormick defeated Deneen in the primary, becoming the first female major party nominee for the United States Senate. The victory showed strong support for McCormick throughout the state, including a surprisingly strong showing in Chicago.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
Lewis was considered a formidable candidate, and campaigned with vigor. Nevertheless, Illinois had gone Republican in all U.S. Senate elections held since U.S. senators began being popularly elected post-1912, and McCormick was therefore, at the onset of the general election, seen by many as having a partisan advantage.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
One contentious issue in the general election campaign was Prohibition, which McCormick supported and Lewis did not. While she supported prohibition, McCormick pledged during the general election that she would honor what voters voiced in the referendum on whether to repeal the state-level prohibition law (voters ultimately would vote to repeal by 67% to 33%, signaling significant opposition to prohibition). As a result of McCormick's wavering on the issue of prohibition, the Anti- Saloon League ultimately endorsed independent candidate Lottie Holman O'Neill over McCormick.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
Despite Lottie Holman O'Neil posturing that she only entered the race to provide voters with a truly anti-prohibition candidate, the Chicago Tribune charged that because O'Neil was a "bitter political enemy" of McCormick (she had previously made her disdain for McCormick known), her candidacy was, "a spite campaign rather than a dry campaign." It was also speculated by the Tribune that she could act as a spoiler candidate, helping hand Lewis victory. O'Neill ran an aggressive campaign accusing McCormick of corruption and assailing McCormick's inconsistent stance on prohibition.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
The high cost of McCormick's primary campaign also became a point for attack in the general election, with Lewis accusing McCormick of trying to buy the election. Republican Senator Gerald Nye, chairman of the Senate Campaign Fund Investigating Committee, investigated campaign expenditures of the Republican primary. While he stated, after a preliminary investigation, that there were no apparent discrepancies between what candidates reported to have spent, it was likely that some money spent on their behalf was not reported.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
He drew attention to the mere $6,000 spent by McCormick in Cook County, where roughly half the voters in the primary were from, and the near $247,000 (equivalent to $3,834,278 in 2020) she spent in the rest of the state. He implied that she had received help from Chicago mayor Thompson. After a hostile June 14 editorial written in The New York Times , McCormick denied any links between her and mayor Thompson, declaring, "My campaign was essentially an anti-machine campaign". McCormick testified before Senator Nye in hearings held in Chicago in mid-July. Her four-hour testimony was well-covered by the press.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
Lewis made a point not to refer to McCormick by name, instead calling her "the lady candidate". McCormick refused to make her gender an issue, calling gender differences a personality issue and insisting political party mattered more in the general election. However, there was sexist backlash to McCormick's nomination as a woman. For instance, Hiram Johnson, a prominent progressive, wrote of her victory in the Republican primary and prospective election, "Some of us consider it a punch in the eye to the Senate, because it means the admission of the first woman."


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
Republican Chicago mayor William H. Thompson, who had been seen as supporting McCormick in the Republican primary, publicly threw his support behind Lewis in the general election. Thompson had a rivalry with the McCormick family, and also blamed the failure of his ambition of clinching the presidential nomination at the 1928 Republican National Convention as having been stymied by Ruth Hanna McCormick's failure to support him as a prospective candidate. Thompson went as far as to, on October 23, 1930, print and distribute a pamphlet which accused McCormack's late husband of having made racist remarks, an attack that McCormick called, "malicious and unjustifiable".


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
Adding to the difficulty for McCormick, was that the 1930 elections were ultimately difficult for Republican candidates, as the stock market crash had occurred the year before under Republican president Herbert Hoover, and with a Republican House and Senate. While neither McCormack nor Lewis treated the economic turmoil as a main issue, until the closing days of the campaign, it was ultimately a deciding factor in the election. Chicago was particularly hard-hit at the time by the Great Depression.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Campaign
While she did not originally treat it as the central issue of the campaign, by the end, McCormack admitted that in the election, that rather than prohibition, voters were more focused on the economy, saying, "the question is not whether everybody gets a bottle of beer, but whether everybody gets a job". She argued that Democratic rule would worsen the economic turmoil.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, General election, Results
J. Hamilton Lewis won by a broad margin, becoming the first Democrat to be popularly elected to the United States senate from Illinois. McCormack was the first Republican to lose a popular U.S. senate election in Illinois.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Aftermath
Two years later, in the 1932 United States Senate election in Arkansas, Hattie Wyatt Caraway would become the first woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Aftermath
Illinois would have to wait 56 years after 1930 to see another woman nominated for U.S. Senate by a major party, with Judy Koehler being the unsuccessful Republican nominee in the 1986 United States Senate election in Illinois.


1930 United States Senate election in Illinois, Aftermath
It took 62 years after McCormick's loss before Illinois actually elected a female United States Senator. In 1992, Democrat Carol Moseley Braun would become the first woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate from  Illinois. In 2016, Democrat Tammy Duckworth would become the second woman elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois.

Despite the national wave favoring Democrats, Couzens won by a landslide even larger than his 1924 landslide.


1930 United States Senate election in Minnesota
The 1930 United States Senate election in Minnesota took place on November 4, 1930. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Thomas D. Schall defeated Einar Hoidale of the Minnesota Democratic Party and former U.S. Representative Ernest Lundeen of the Farmer–Labor Party of Minnesota to win a second term.


1930 United States Senate election in Montana
The 1930 United States Senate election in Montana took place on November 4, 1930. Incumbent United States Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who was first elected to the Senate in 1912, and re-elected in 1918 and 1924, ran for re-election. He won the Democratic primary unopposed, and faced Montana Supreme Court Associate Justice Albert J. Galen, the Republican nominee, and several independent opponents in the general election. Ultimately, Walsh defeated his opponents in a landslide and won his fourth and final term in the Senate.


1930 United States Senate election in Nebraska
The 1930 United States Senate election in Nebraska took place on November 4, 1930. The incumbent Republican, George W. Norris, was re-elected to a fourth term. He defeated Gilbert Hitchcock, the former Senator for the Class 1 seat. The anti-Norris Republican Beatrice Fenton Craig ran by petition.


1930 United States Senate election in Nebraska, Other candidates
Beatrice Fenton Craig had filed as a candidate for the Republican primary, however she stood aside in the hope that W. H. Stebbins would defeat Norris. When this failed, Craig accepted a petition by her friends to appear on the ballot. Craig did not see Norris as a true Republican, claiming he used the label "only when seeking his own election, or when it contributes to his own personal or fractional political power."


1930 United States Senate election in New Jersey

1930 United States Senate election in Oklahoma
The 1930 United States Senate election in Oklahoma took place on November 4, 1930. Incumbent Republican Senator William B. Pine ran for re-election to a second term. In the Democratic primary, former U.S. Senator Thomas Gore emerged victorious in a crowded Democratic primary that included three former Governors and one of the first female candidates for statewide office. He won a slim plurality in the initial election and defeated C. J. Wrightsman, an oilman from Tulsa, in the runoff by a wide margin. In the general election, aided by the national Democratic landslide, Gore narrowly defeated Pine, returning to the Senate for one final term.


1930 United States Senate election in South Carolina

1930 United States Senate election in South Carolina, Democratic primary, Campaign
Senator Coleman Livingston Blease was opposed in the Democratic primary by former Representative James F. Byrnes. Blease was the leader in the first primary election on August 26, but in previous primary elections he had been the leader in the first primary and unable to increase his support in the runoff election. This election was no different and Byrnes won the runoff on September 9. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Byrnes was elected to a six-year term in the Senate.

Carey emerged as the nominee, and faced Democrat Harry Schwartz, an attorney from Casper and a local school board member, in the general election. Despite the strong performance by Democrats nationwide in 1930, Carey defeated Schwartz by a wide margin.


1930 United States Senate elections
The United States Senate elections of 1930 occurred in the middle of Republican President Herbert Hoover's term. With the Great Depression beginning to take hold, Republican incumbents became unpopular, and Democrats picked up a net of eight seats, erasing the Republican gains from the previous election cycle. Republicans retained control of the U.S. Senate since Vice President Charles Curtis cast the tie-breaking vote. This was the first of four consecutive Senate elections in the Depression in which Democrats made enormous gains, achieving a cumulative pick-up of 34 seats.


1930 United States Senate elections
In Louisiana, Democratic senator-elect Huey Long chose not to take his Senate seat until January 25, 1932 so he could remain as Governor of Louisiana. The Republicans therefore retained the plurality of seats at the beginning of the next Congress. With Vice President Charles Curtis (R) able to cast tie-breaking votes, the Republicans would have majority control with their 48 of the 96 seats. That slim control was further weakened in the last months of the next Congress with several mid-term seat changes.


1930 United States Senate elections
In Minnesota, Henrik Shipstead was not up for election in 1930. He was a former Republican who became a Farmer–Laborite in 1922. Although the Farmer–Laborites would later merge with the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (in 1944), Shipstead and his contemporaries were not aligned with either major party. He would later rejoin the party in 1940.

1930 United States elections
The 1930 United States elections were held on November 4, 1930, in the middle of Republican President Herbert Hoover's term. Taking place shortly after the start of the Great Depression, the Republican Party suffered substantial losses. The election was the last of the Fourth Party System, and marked the first time since 1918 that Democrats controlled either chamber of Congress.

The Republicans lost fifty-two seats to the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives. While the Republicans maintained a one-seat majority after the polls closed, they lost a number of special elections (since some Republican members died) before the start of the new congress. This allowed the Democrats to take control of that chamber with a one-seat majority.
