Scope and content
Harry P. Cain came to the Pierce County Auditor's office in the early hours of November 6, 1946 to check the first, unofficial returns for the U.S. Senate race. Mr. Cain, a former mayor of Tacoma, beat Democratic candidate Hugh Mitchell to become Washington state's junior senator. He had been defeated by Warren G. Magnuson in 1944. Although Mr. Cain did not carry Pierce County, he gathered enough votes in the other counties to join the first Republican congress in 16 years. (T.Times 11/6/1946 p.1) Album # 12 TPL-9775
