Hail, Columbia! (The Election of 1928 RUNOFF)

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

No candidate received a majority of the vote in the 1928 general election, necessitating a runoff between Labor Organizer Herbert Strauss and New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt III.


Governor Theodore Roosevelt III of New York [National Liberal-CDP]
The grandson of former President Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., Roosevelt appeared on the national stage in 1924, when his adept surrogacy for Daniel Heath Goodrich was instrumental in denying the Liberal nomination to the presumed frontrunner, Calvin Coolidge. The young Roosevelt campaigned vigorously for the Liberal ticket in the fall, and while his efforts to help Goodrich carry New York ultimately failed, they won him the attention of veteran campaigners within the party and election to the Governorship of New York two years later. Nominated over a crowded field of candidates by the Liberals and their coalition partners, the CDP, Roosevelt has cast himself as a progressive reformer in the tradition of his father and grandfather. He supports the retention of the public works programs and social insurance system established by the National Recovery Act, as likewise favors the extension of the 1926 farm subsidies, but has attacked Carrillo's more radical prescriptions as the same sort of "communist claptrap" that caused the recession in the first place. Promising a "Square Deal for every American," Roosevelt has pledged to cut wasteful spending at all levels of government, targeting graft in the nationalized oil and steel companies and promising a balanced budget for the coming fiscal year.


Labor Organizer Herbert Martin Strauss of Minnesota [I.W.L.]
Union workers offended by Carrillo's use of federal troops to break the 1927 Miners' Strike seceded from the Socialist Caucus in the aftermath of Carrillo's renomination to form the Independent Workers' League. Their candidate is Herbert Strauss, a labor organizer and failed congressional candidate from Minnesota. Strauss has called for the adoption of a national "Share Our Wealth" program to combat the effects of the recession; he supports the nationalization of the remaining major industries as a step towards full collectivization, a federal minimum wage law, a total moratorium on home foreclosures, and a dramatic increase of the income tax to fuel the redistribution of wealth to the working classes.

Roosevelt to stop Strauss.

Roosevelt: For the Square Deal, and a Recovery That's Real!

Strauss's economic plans are more extreme than the President's. It's like firemen, seeing a house on fire, shouting for everyone to throw gasoline onto the unburnt parts of the house. Strauss is not the voice of German-Columbians. Strauss is the voice of the President with unbridled radicalism. We are nearing depression-level economic collapse. We cannot afford another four years of failure economically.
