In this photograph taken in Washington, D. C. on June 6,1938, we witness Senator Clyde Herring of Iowa engrossed in the unfolding drama of the Senatorial Primary election returns. The scene is set within the elegant confines of his suite at the iconic Mayflower Hotel. As technology takes center stage, Senator Herring listens intently to the crackling voices emanating from a vintage radio placed beside him. With an air of anticipation and seriousness etched across his face, he absorbs every word that emerges from this remarkable piece of electronic equipment. The image captures a pivotal moment in American history when communications were rapidly evolving. Radios became indispensable tools for disseminating news and information to citizens across the nation. In this instance, it serves as a conduit for delivering crucial updates on election results directly into the hands of those who shape policy and legislation. Senator Herring's seniority adds gravitas to this historic snapshot as he represents not only himself but also countless other senators engaged in similar activities throughout North America during that era.
