Year of congressional election
Hamblen article says that he lost the congressional race to John Carl Hinshaw in 1932 (to assume office in 1933). The Hinshaw article indicates that Hinshaw was first elected in 1938 (assumed office in 1939). The article on California's 20th congressional district indicates that Hinshaw was first elected in 1942 (1943) and does not show Hamblen as being a candidate in any of the elections for that district (and all elections since the district's creation are displayed). Does the question of the year need attention? Did Hamblen perhaps seek the congressional seat in 1932 against a candidate other than Hinshaw? Is the district number the item that needs help?

 * Yes, you're correct. It was the '38 election, and it was CLOSE, at 47 to 41 percent. Wow. 75.63.4.161 (talk) 04:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Texas Handbook Online article
OK, this is the well-researched article we've been looking for! http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/HH/fhafq.html I may at some point soon edit the article to reflect this trustworthy research. Would anyone else like to volunteer? 75.63.4.161 (talk) 04:44, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
