'Tapeworm ticket' hurts intestines of election
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[765]
[WAYITWAS-2007-765]
My last column looked at local elections in the 1860s and 1870s and their tumultuous proceedings. One of the most memorable elections occurred in 1871, when Vallejo gained national fame for the invention of the so-called "tapeworm ticket." The main information for the events surrounding this ballot ticket can be found in "Recollections of a Newspaperman," written by Frank A. Leach in 1917.

Law was passed closing saloons on election day to quell rioting
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[763]
[WAYITWAS-2007-763]
Our recent local elections with low voter turnout and disinterested citizens had me look at earlier elections in Solano County. With today's well-regulated and orderly campaign and voting system in mind, 19th century elections read more like a riot.

Rhyme and reason behind early Solano poet
/
Bowen, Jerry
[544]
[WAYITWAS-2004-544]
I don't suppose that most newcomers to Vacaville have ever heard of Edwin Markham. Some may have heard of the poem, "Man With a Hoe," but don't know that a man who once lived in the now-contentious Lagoon Valley wrote it. So, let's look at a little history of Charles Edwin Anson Markham and some interesting contradictions.

Hotel served travelers and club well
/
Bowen, Jerry
[565]
[WAYITWAS-2005-565]
The year 1936 saw the United States in the midst of the Depression. A short humorous article in The Reporter reflected the times: "Somebody Falling Down? There are said to be 10,000,000 unemployed in the United States. It's hard to believe that there are that many people unrelated to some public official."
