Brennan, democratic natio committeeman, and Hugh S. Magll, independent republican, and a dozen minor candidates contesting for the | seat of Renator Willlam B. McKin- ley, republican. A proposition to allow individual | states to define the alcoholic content of beverages resulted in a heavy vote in favor of modification of the Volstead law, but Brennan was una- ble to survive the normally republi- can vote.
