Democrats Start Ore Committees for Convention Bids
The Democratic National Committee voted to back the New Deal with one dissent by Gov. Talmadge. Mayor Hague and Senator McKellar led the resolution as cities like Philadelphia and Chicago bid with about $150,000. Farley warned of a forthcoming campaign of defamation funded by a large slush fund from those with little public thrift. Roosevelt's influence and Jackson Day appeal framed the call for cross party support.
