Politički odnosi u Županjskom kotaru 1920. godine
Political relations in the Županja district during 1920

Summary/Abstract: Political relations in the Županja district during 1920 were marked by the municipal elections at the beginning of spring, the rising dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Croatian peasantry during summer, and the holding of elections to the Constituent Assembly at the end of November. In the municipal elections, the most successful parties were the Croatian national parties (HPSS, HZ, HPS), which was to be expected bearing in mind the national and social structure of the population. However, Radiæ’s party did not have a convincing victory, although in this district it had had one of the strongest backings in the whole of Slavonia and Western Srijem since its founding. The period of time during the spring, sumer and until mid-autumn was, however, used in the best way by Radić’s party. With well-organised work among the peasantry, which came to the fore during the work of the military commissions, when it did not respond to the call, constantly laying stress in its propaganda work on the motto of Croatia as a peasant republic, the members of the Radiæ party completed their propaganda activity. To what extent they were successful was seen in the results of the elections for the Constituent Assembly, in which the HPSS had an overwhelming victory in the Županja district.
