On the basis of archive and, especially, newspaper material and literature, the author presents important events which took place in the Slovenske Konjice district between 1929 and 1941. Its administrative arrangement is outlined, and the population figures and economic situation shown. The main focus is on the presentation of political life: party, farmers', cultural, educational and youth organisations and associations pertaining to both political camps, liberal and Catholic. Particular attention is given to the electoral campaigns and results of the 1931, 1935 and 1938 parliamentary elections and the 1933 municipal elections, all of which revealed sharp political and ideological differences and passions in both camps.
