This book is a detailed account of a contested election held in 1910 between George McLean and Charles Bowman vying for a seat in the House of Representatives for Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District. The author presents evidence supporting McLean's claims that irregularities and illegal activity, including bribery and voter intimidation, influenced the election in Bowman's favor and examines the legal challenges that ensued. The book delves into the machinations of the electoral process during this period, shedding light on the corruption and manipulation that often marred elections at the turn of the 20th century. The author's research reveals not only the specific events of this contest but also the broader historical context in which it occurred, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced by fair and democratic elections.
