Socialist Norman Thomas Seeks Policy Campaign Today
Norman Thomas, once a Presbyterian minister and long time Socialist party leader, predicts Roosevelt’s re election as the lesser of two evils but will not campaign for the Democratic ticket. He will push his own government philosophy and back his party’s slate despite patronage temptations. He has run for New York mayor, governor, and president multiple times and shows little vacation between runs. He critiques social programs, supports strict neutrality laws, and seeks constitutional reform while musing about a possible congressional bid this year.
