- John Manning, Jr. 41st congress [1]--Appraiser 14:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Good catch. Someone who is better with tables than I should put him in the table between John T. Deweese and Sion H. Rogers. Manning served just the last few months of the 41st Congress, after Deweese resigned. Manning did not run for the seat in the general election. See also details of the special election here. It was actually the 2nd special election for the 4th district that year, and the 3rd election in total. After Deweese resigned, the special election to fill out the remainder of the term was also held at the same time as the general election, which was in August in North Carolina at the time. But the winner of the special election, Robert B. Gilliam, died after winning, so a second special election had to be held in November. Don't ask me why the winner of the recent general election -- Sion H. Rogers -- didn't run in the second special election. Instead, Democrat (officially called "Conservatives" at the time in NC politics) Manning defeated Republican Joseph W. Holden. Awbeal 19:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
