Editorial contrasts Lafollette with Huey Long in 1935 piece
Here and There editors discuss an April 8 editorial republished in Progressive Lafollette, plus a Pennsylvania anonymous letter criticizing that stance. The writer argues Huey Long and Coughlin present truths, defends Roosevelt against Wall Street pressure, and cites Utilities Inquiry Bulletin No. 12 to show power interests backing Roosevelt’s foes. The piece laments press independence and warns of corporate influence over national policy.
