In the 1935 Czechoslovak parliamentary election Zajicek was re-elected for a third term.[7] Newcomers to the Chamber of Deputies from the electoral district included Dr. Theodor Jilly (Sudeten German Party, SdP), Franz Karmasin (SdP) and Anton Sogl (SdP).[7] Karmasin would later become the Slovak Secretary of State for German Affairs and then a Waffen-SS Sturmbannführer.[9] Whilst the DCSVP was weakened across all of Czechoslovakia in the 1935 vote, it retained some degree of strength in the Jihlava 10th electoral district (losing some 10,000 votes compared to 1929).[10]
