New England Seen Returning to Republicans in 1936 Says Knox
Col Frank Knox told nearly 100 Republican leaders in Portland that New England cannot be bought by the administration and will return to the Republican fold in 1936. He warned that the G O P must win the Middle West and push a farming program to aid agriculture. Ex Chief Justice Pattangall echoed calls for patriotism as critics argue the New Deal is unsound and politically dangerous. He cited tax policies and government overreach as major concerns.
