 Election Registers - Texas State Library
The law defining the duties of the Secretary of State, passed in 1846, includes a provision that he shall, "in a separate book, suitable for the purpose, keep a complete register of all officers appointed and elected in the State..." The origins of the three Republic-era Election Registers, in contrast, are obscure.
The first (1836-1842) of the two volumes appears consistent with an office memorandum book, its entries lacking uniformity and, occasionally, legibility--clearly not intended as an official register; the second (1843-1846) resembles, both in physical appearance and in information recorded, the official volumes created by State government.
For compiled election returns beginning in 1850, consult the microfilm edition of the Secretary of State Executive Record Books.

In the 1938 elections, the Wafd failed to win a majority and successive short-lived governments were formed by non-Wafdist Mohamed Mahmoud, Ali Maher - who antagonised the British by refusing to declare war on the Axis powers - Hassan Sabri and Hussein Serry.
In the 1984 elections, which were won by the ruling National Democratic Party, the Wafd, in tacit alliance with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, was the only opposition party that managed to gain representation, winning 57 seats - a 12.72 per cent share.
With political reform the cornerstone of their programme, Serageddin has repeatedly demanded a new constitution, making the election of the president of the republic by direct ballot instead of a yes-or-no national referendum, and for one term only, and giving parliament greater powers to monitor public expenditure.

In the 1938 Senate campaign, George ran for reelection against Talmadge and Lawrence Camp, a former state legislator and federal district attorney who was running as a strong pro-Roosevelt New Dealer.
In a speech in Barnesville in August 1938, Roosevelt cited the recently completed Report on Economic Conditions of the South, which called the South "the Nation's No. 1 economic problem," and he asked voters to cast their ballots for Camp.
In spite of Roosevelt's endorsement, Camp ran a distant third, and George was reelected, signaling the conservative turn the state was taking by the late 1930s toward stricter economic measures and away from the New Deal's social and economic planning.

 Kristallnacht History and Animation by Brownielocks.
The living reached it's worst in the later part of 1938 when thousands of Polish Jews (who had been living in Germany for several years) were suddenly rounded up, loaded into boxcars and sent to relocation camps on the Polish border.
So, on the night of November 9, 1938, Nazi storm troopers and members of the Nazi secret police, as well as Hitler Youth Groups went on a rampage though the Jewish neighborhoods in both Germany and Austria.
These demonstrations are partially noticeable in Berlin, where the neo-Nazi movement and recent attacks on immigrants and Jewish synagogues have been a sad reminder of the 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom.
