New York Phobia Highlights Nation’s Rift Over City’s Influence
The piece argues New York’s dominance in finance and culture fuels continental resentment. It cites Champ Clark and 1924 conventions, notes immigrant mix and ragtime's rise, and weights Mencken’s sharp critique of metropolitan attitudes. It compares national conventions’ delegate totals and contemplates New York’s cultural pull versus rural and western backlash.
