The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,

Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Article is long enough and new enough; no sourcing, copyright, or content issues were found. Hook meets length and format criterion; hook source identified above covers all facts except Republican connection which I found in another source used in the article so hook is good to go. Image was originally published in 1918 so it is in Public Domain; rollover tag is done. QPQ review is still pending.--
