Election
After his election to a full term in 1917, incumbent Frederic T. Woodman was seeking another term in office. He faced Meredith P. Snyder, his opponent in the previous election. In March 1919, Woodman was indicted on charges of asking and receiving a bribe, and during his campaign for the election, he was arrested and tried but was later acquitted of all charges. Two months later, Woodman lost the election to Snyder.
