Right... first people are bitching about lack of "serious" TLs, and when I resume one, I'm still a spacegot.

Three and half hours isn't a very long time to wait for a response.

Personally, I think it's very good.

I've just been reading for the first time - quite interesting!

I was surprised that Davis would have signed Smoot-Hawley.  I know it's going back a bit, but any thoughts on why he would have?

June 29, 1935: Staff talks between Great Britain and Germany began.

July 4, 1935: On the day of national holiday the tragedy struck one of the most powerful families in Massachusetts. Democratic Governor Joseph P. Kennedy (elected in 1931) and his two sons, Joseph Jr. and John, are killed when private aircraft crashed onto a sea near Martha's Vineyard. The remains are never found and the three are legally declared dead in September.

July 5, 1935: Unionized workers hopes about La Follette administration are fulfilled, when the Presidents signs the National Labor Relations Act into a law. The act created the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which ensures the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively.

July 10, 1935: General Kurt von Schleicher, now Reichswehr Chief of Staff, arrives to London to discuss potential British-German military cooperation. France and Poland are very concerned.

August 14, 1935 The Progressives scored their most far-reaching goal, when President La Follette signed the Social Security Act (that, among other things, guaranteed pensions to Americans over the age of 65, establishes a system of unemployment insurance, and assists states in aiding dependent) into a law.

August 30, 1935: The Revenue Act is passed. Progressive congressional leaders and President La Follette, happy with their recent political victories, are already thinking about some more projects.

September 1, 1935: It seems, New York-based TIME magazine was predicting, that despite all hopes following the Great War, Europe is once again starting to split on two camps, bitterly opposing each other. We know how it was before 1914 and how it ended (...) France, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Estonia are firmly forming, what is called, a "New Entente", while British are visibly favoring allowing Germany to rebuild their military, in order to "restore balance of power on continent. With Italy and the Soviet Union still an enigma, all could happen"

September 8, 1935: Senator Huey P. Long, a Democrat of Louisiana who has been supporting a lot of Progressive meassures (although, as he said half-jockingly, Hoover and La Follette weren't "progressive" enough for his taste) and thus is at frequent odds with his own party, survived an assassination attempt in state capital Baton Rogue. While Long is unharmed, a bystander was killed.

September 9, 1935: In response to failed Long assassination attempt, Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama committed one of the most costly gaffes in recent U.S. political history. This man (the failed assassin) ought to be hung, but only because he missed and that monster is still alive. Journalist are predicting it's only a matter of time before Long will break up with the party, which can have disastrous consequences for the Democrats in a heart of the Solid South.

November 9, 1935: AFL is formed with John Lewis as it's President.

December 13, 1935: Before Christmas recess, House of Representatives passed a constitutional amendment (already approved by the Senate) that would allow the President to nominate with Senate approval the new Vice President, shall the office fell vacant during a term.

January 24, 1936: Congress passed Adjusted Compensation Act, which was quickly signed by President La Follette into a law. Despite some serious concerns about it's effect on the still recovering budget, the President praised the act as "giving a long-deserved justice to our veterans".

May 9, 1936: Italy completes it's conquest of Abyssinia.

June 13, 1936: The Republican National Convention, held in Cleveland, Ohio, nominated former Senator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin for President and media owner Frank Gannett of New York for Vice President.

July 17, 1936: Spanish Army in Morocco mutiny against Republican Government in Madrid started Spanish Civil War.

July 20, 1936: The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, that allows filling the Vice Presidency in case of vacancy, is ratified by enough number of states to became a law. With general election near, President La Follette decided not to use it now.

July 27, 1936: After four deadlocked ballots, the Democratic National Convention, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, nominated, once again, House Minority Leader John N. Garner for President, and Senator James A. Reed of Missouri for Vice President. Garner's main opponent turned out to be Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee, whose chances were diminished by his outspoken internationalist positions.

August 3, 1936: Progressive National Convention, held in New York City, nominated President La Follette without an opposition. His choice for Vice President, a Democratic-turned-Progressive Governor Theodore F. Green of Rhode Island, is likewise nominated easily.

August-October 1936: Although 80% of the newspapers endorsed either Garner or Blaine and La Follette's progressive agenda is under a severe attack by conservatives, few doubted a solid Progressive victory. The nation already had it worst behind, signs of an advanced recovery were visible and optimism about the near future dominated popular feelings.

October 17, 1936: Senator Huey P. Long endorsed President La Follette for reelection.

October 23, 1936: In a campaign stop in Detroit, President La Follette made one of his most famous promises. The security for all American people will never be complete if we won't create a nationwide health service.

November 3, 1936: President Robert M. La Follette, Jr. is comfortably reelected over House Minority Leader John N. Garner in a historic elections that removed the Republican Party from an electoral map. Due to Long's influence, Louisiana, even while barely, voted for the Progressive ticket, making a first break within the Solid South.

Beside gains in Louisiana, Progressives also elected their first statewide officeholder in remaining former Confederacy. A 36-year old former Democratic state legislator Claude Denson Pepper won a special election for the Senate.


President Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin/Governor Theodore F. Green of Rhode Island (Progressive): 439 electoral votes, 57% of the popular vote
House Minority Leader John N. Garner of Texas/Senator James A. Reed of Missouri (Democratic): 92 electoral votes, 31% of the popular vote
Senator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin/Frank E. Gannett of New York (Republican): 10% of the popular vote
Others: 2% of the popular vote

January 3, 1937: The 75th Congress convenes, with Progressives being just short to the supermajority in the Senate, while enjoying it in the House.

Senate:

Progressives: 63
Democrats: 29
Republicans: 4

House of Representatives:

Progressive: 331
Democratic: 113
Republicans: 11

Leadership:

Senate:

President of the Senate: Theodore F. Green (P-RI), as Vice President-elect
President pro tempore: William E. Borah (P-ID)
Majority Leader: Burton K. Wheeler (P-MT)
Majority Whip: George W. Norris (P-NE)
Minority Leader: Alben W. Barkley (D-KY)
Minority Whip: Carl T. Hayden (D-AZ)
Republican Leader: None

House of Representatives:

Speaker of the House: William F. Lemke (P-ND)
Majority Leader: Knud Wefald (P-MN)
Majority Whip: Jennings Randolph (P-WV)
Minority Leader: William B. Bankhead (D-AL)
Minority Whip: Samuel T. Rayburn (D-TX)
Republican Leader: Charles W. Tobey (R-NH)

January 5, 1937: Senator Long formally defects from the Democratic Party, followed by many of his supporters in Louisiana. Ostentatibly independent, yet caucused with Progressives, he's a reason to concern for President La Follette, who sees him as a possible radical inside rival in next months.

January 20, 1937: For the first time in January, as required by the 20th Amendment, ratified back in 1933, the President and Vice President are inaugurated in January. Onlookers noted a deep satisfaction with which President La Follette was reciting an oath that day, and, to be honest, he had a lot of reasons to feel that way. He couldn't see a dark clouds coming yet...

Second term of Robert M. La Follette, Jr.

January 22, 1937: Two days after President La Follette began his second, and the first full, term, TIME magazine wrote: It's incredible how, in just little more than a decade, the Progressives became a major party, completely burying the Republicans. It's also interesting to look on it's historical makeup.

After all, the party was primarily organized by the progressive, mostly Western, Republicans who were opposing dominance of the conservative wing, represented by Coolidge and his infamous cabinet purge. Unlike in 1912, when there was a deadly rift between Teddy Roosevelt's and William Borah's Progressives, the two forces united. Soon they were joined by such elements like western Progressive Democrats (Burton Wheeler), much more moderate pro-reform Republicans, who were rejected by Coolidge and his wing (Herbert Hoover). The 1928 saw joining of the East Coast-based liberal Democrats, under Al Smith. While Smith lost an election badly, he can be credited with bringing urban, blue-collar, and Catholic voters to the new party. Now we can see Populist of Huey Long's mode coming under the tent

At the same time, the once primarily Southern Democratic party is expanding their gains among former conservative Republican. The big realignment, we shall say.


January 28, 1937: La Follette's second cabinet is completed, with a lot of it's officers remaining from the previous term administration.

Vice President: Theodore F. Green (P-RI)
Secretary of State: James P. Grew (P-MA)
Secretary of the Treasury: Alfred M. Landon (P-KS)
Secretary of War: Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (P-NY)
Attorney General: William O. Douglas (P-WA)
Postmaster General: Philip F. La Follette (P-WI)
Secretary of the Navy: Ralph Austin Bard (I-OH)
Secretary of the Interior: Harold L. Ickes (P-IL)
Secretary of Agriculture: Henry A. Wallace (P-IA)
Secretary of Commerce: Frank Knox (P-IL)
Secretary of Labor: Frances Perkins (P-NY)

February 8, 1937: General Franco's forces are defeated in the Battle of Malaga by the Government forces. Franco's only foreign ally, Italy's Benito Mussolini, busy with occupying Abyssinia, is unable to effectively help the rebels.

February 10, 1937: President Marx hinted a possibility of enlarging Reichswehr due to "complicated international situation", stressing however the purely "defensive" nature of this idea.

February 12, 1937: We've ended the first phase of Recovery and Reform, President La Follette exclaimed in his weekly radio address. We overcame the menace of a great depression. Now it's a time for the second phase: to make our gains permanent, so we and our children prosperity and security will be guaranteed.

February 13, 1937: A day after his address, La Follette sent a three major proposals to the Congress. The first, Agriculture Reform Act, Secretary Wallace's brainchild, was the most radical project of agricultural reform. The second, National Transportation Act, was aimed at  futher reducing an unemployment rate as well as improving infrastructure in the Western United States, by building a series of a highways. Finally, recognizing the significance of the urban areas and it's problems, the third bill was establishing new cabinet department: Department of Urban Affairs.

February 16, 1937: Soviet and Japanese forces briefly clashed across the Soviet-Mongolian border.

February 19, 1937: Italian Viceroy of Abyssinia, Marshal Rodolfo Graziani, is assassinated by two Eritrean nationalists. The guard returned a fire to the crowd of an onlookers.

February 21, 1937: Proposition to prohibit foreign nationals from fighting in the Spanish Civil War failed narrowly in the League of Nations Non-Intervention Committee.

February 23, 1937: With an approval of France and to annoyance of the British, Poland enlarges it's garrison in Free City of Danzig in a wake of President Wilhelm Marx's declaration about possible Reichswerh enlargement.

February 28, 1927: President La Follette have a very nervous meeting in his office with Senator Al Smith of New York. Smith, so far, was a loyal supporter of two Progressive Presidents agenda, but now felt something dear to his heart is missing. We achieved an historic victory, Bob, he told "Young Bob". We have a great majority in Congress. It's a time to finally give a justice to Negroes and the Natives. We can finally end with an discrimination, which is a true shame for the American spirit! President La Follette seems very reluctant, as he tends to ignore civil rights issues thorough his earlier career and Presidency to not "antagonize some elements we need in our agenda". Al, it's not that simple... Mr. President, it's now or never! When La Follette politely declined to give the issue a priority, furious Smith stormed out the Oval Office.

March 13, 1937: With a determination of Senate Majority Leader Wheeler and House Speaker Lemke, all three major pieces of legislation are passed, and La Follette signed them into a law two days later. A happy President didn't know, it's going to be his last major achievement.

March 17, 1937: President La Follette is a committed isolationist, who believes the United States should keep itself out of any European affairs, TIME magazine wrote. However, on some scale, his foreign policy is quite active. We're talking, of course, about South America. As President Hoover started a new phase of relations with our Southern neighbours, so-called "Good Neighbour Policy", La Follette is enthusiastically continuing it.

March 19, 1937: The Encyclical Divini Redemptoris of Pope Pius XI about communism is published.

March 23, 1937: Senator Al Smith, a Progressive of New York, took a floor to introduce his Civil Rights Act of 1937. My fellow Senators, a "Happy Warrior" began, We can't talk about American Dream, if we're denying the same basic rights, our Founding Fathers fought for and our ancestors come here for, full of hope, to the Negroes and Native Americans.

March 25, 1937: Former President John W. Davis, who has been enjoying his luxurious private law practice since his 1933 retirement, delivered a speech in his home state of West Virginia, denouncing La Follette's "disastrous economic policy and destroying the very principles of our constitution". Davis, who previously denied any invitations to become politically involved again, now is at the scene again.

April 2, 1937: Intending to use the recent favorable legislative wave, President La Follette sent a National Health Service Act to "establish, as a part of the Social Security, a legislation to include publicly funded health care programs". During his remarks La Follette reminded a similar proposal made by Theodore Roosevelt during 1912 campaign.

April 3, 1937: Tell the President, I won't support his plan without him supporting the civil rights, Senator Smith told one of La Follette's aides.

April 4, 1937: Despite Smith's warning and his, potentially dangerous to the plan influence, Progressive leaders in Congress gladly accepted La Follette's proposals, as did handful more progressive Democrats.

April 10, 1937: German armed ship was denied entry to the Free City of Danzig port by Polish Navy. Polish side explained German action violated Treaty of Versailles terms, but Berlin Government rejected these claims. Atmosphere in Europe is rising again.

April 11, 1937: Former President Davis denounced La Follette's health service plan as unconstitutional and promised, if it's passed, to take the case to the Supreme Court.

April 13, 1937: American Medical Association condemned the plan as a "compulsory health insurance".

May 1, 1937: Neutrality Act is signed into a law. On the same date, general strike starts in France.

May 4, 1937: Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama started a filibuster against a draft of the Health Service Act, calling it a "shameless socialism"... The filibuster won one Progressive supporter... Al Smith. The New York Senator openly admitted, while he supports a principle of the national health service, he won't support it as long as administration will oppose his civil rights platform. President La Follette is in a deep hole now. If he agrees on Smith demands, he'll surely lose needed Democratic votes. If he continues to ignore it, the bill wouldn't reach the majority due to Smith stance. After just few days, the most ambitious goal was certainly doomed.

May 7, 1937: Hindenburg disaster outside Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing thirty-six.

May 7, 1937: Visibly disappointed Majority Leader Burton K. Wheeler announced, that Health Service Act is withdrawn. President La Follette's position, just month into his first full term, is permanently damaged. Progressive base is angry, because of abandoning their principle. Democrats saw the administration can be defeated and, perhaps for the worst, he lost control over Smith wing. To make the day complete, Senator long denounced "Young Bob" as a "spinless coward".
