Answer:
smith wildman brookhart -lrb- february 2 , 1869november 15 , 1944 -rrb- , was twice elected as a republican to represent iowa in the united states senate .he was considered an '' insurgent '' within the republican party ; his criticisms of the harding and coolidge administrations and of business interests alienated others within the republican caucus , leading to his ouster from the senate over an election challenge .brookhart 's absence from the senate was brief , as he took the first opportunity to return by challenging and defeating the state 's senior republican senator .he was also a strong supporter of prohibition and its enforcement , so as public support for prohibition waned , so too did his political career .
