"Dickinson for U.S. Senator". Lester J. Dickinson was a Republican politician from Iowa. In 1930 Dickinson ran for a seat in the senate from Iowa. Because of his stance against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (an act that raised tariffs on imported products at an extreme), Dickinson was well favored and won the election. He held his seat in the senate until 1937. Dickinson passed away in Des Moines, Iowa in 1968 at the age of 94.
