Dead Letter

In the full flush of victory, Ohio's U.S. Senator-elect George H. Bender bubbled off a letter to Richard Cull, Dayton News political reporter: "Dear Dick -- This is just a note to thank you for all you did in my behalf during the senatorial campaign. I valued the endorsement of the News, and feel sure that you had something to do with my obtaining it. Indeed, I am grateful, and hope that I may continue to merit the approval of your paper and yourself. With fondest regards, I am cordially, George H. Bender."

There was just one thing wrong with Republican Bender's letter. The News endorsed Bender's opponent, Democratic Senator Thomas Burke.
