>> we've heard from john evers who is the former new york state assembly historian and also from beverly gage, history professor at yale university about the fdr/al smith relationship. landon he supported in 1936 and wendell willky in 1940, he supported over fdr. in fact, here is al smith on the radio talking about his support for wendell wilkin. >> i'd just like to make a little observation. i'd like to know what could be going through the mind of the 16 million men that are in the draft. i wonder if they're not saying to themselves, if this becomes serious, if it becomes necessary that we have to face an enemy, who would you soon to be behind, the third-term candidate or a wilke? in my opinion, we only hope for the people whose the election of wendell wilke who believes -- who believes in the constitution of the united states and the principles upon which it was founded. when he is chosen to guide this nation, then and then only will the stars and stripes again wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave. >> beverly gage, what's your reaction to hearing that? >> well, it's

. >> beverly gage, what's your reaction to hearing that? >> well, it's really remarkable how quickly and how viciously al smith ends up going after the people who had once been his greatest supporters. i was trying to think if there has ever been another major party presidential candidate who, in less than a decade after he had run on his party's platform, is actually endorsing actively the candidates of the other party -- >> joe lieberman? >> joe lieberman, i guess so. he's sort of hard to read. was joe lieberman ever really a democrat? i don't know. but so going around and actually doing these endorsements in 1936, in 1940 and i think in this way that is incredibly outspoken. i mean, he makes this speech in 1936 where he's accusing the new deal and fdr themselves as i mentioned earlier of being communists, socialists. he picks up really the most vitriolic langlanguage. he calls roosevelt a tyrant and he's abusing the constitution and becomes one of the standard bearers of the liberty league which is basically a business-funded -- it's rea

beverly gage? >> one would like to be able to say yes. if al smith had been elected, none of the -- none of the depression ever would have happened. wall street would have -- i don't think that that's true. i don't think on economic issues by 1928, i mean, the 1920s turn out to be a relatively conservative decade on things like labor policy. smith himself is not running an anti-wall street campaign in 1928. and the real sort of progressive candidate had been four years earlier. that was bob la follette running in 1924 on a progressive party platform as the progressive candidate. and that had a much more sort of vocal anti-wall street sentiment. it had much more strict set of regulations and had a lot more focus on economic issues. so, unfortunately, i don't think that smith actually would have done a whole lot significantly different. and i'm not sure, to be honest, that any president was really in a position to foresee what was coming or really had the tools at that point to prevent it from happening. >> i think that -- that's kind of wh

beverly gage, when we asked you prior to the show some of the issues you thought were important to the 1928 election, one thing you mentioned was the role of the media in 128. why? >> i think particularly for al smith he had come of age as a media battler, particularly william randolph hurst was after him and after him, one of the most powerful newspaper tycoons in the country. smith i think had a certain amount of confidence by 1928 that he knew how to fend off these kind of press attacks, but ultimately in the election, one of the interesting things about the catholic issue is we now understand it to have been absolutely crucial to this election. smith openly acknowledged it. a lot of it was done and talked about through innuendo. john mentioned earlier the idea of a whispering campaign, that it wasn't something that was going to be said in the press, but at the same time the press was going to kind of feed into these images. so i think smith, from my reading of it anyway, was sort of behind from the first with the press in part because there was so much coded language being used. in

. >> beverly you want to add anything? >> i think it's true that that was at the core of who al smith presented himself to be to the world. and this question of immigration and labor, it was one of the hot issues, so, immigration law when it was being immigration restriction, which is passed in the 1920s, it was -- you had decades of debate about the relationship between wages and labor and immigration and in fact, during al smith's day, immigration policy was actually under the department of labor. and so, these things were really tied then. when he ran for president in 1928, it was in the wake of a wave of native sentiment, if he stood for anything it was a push back of this native imism, woul have been able to push back immigration restrictions if he was president? it seems unlikely. but the feelings around this issue last for 40 years. during al smith's childhood there was almost no restriction on immigration whatsoever, so we saw this kind of conrestriction and that constriction was not opened back up until the '60s.

>> let's start with beverly gage. >> well, hearst is one of al smith's great critics. he turns into one of smith's great critics. he's sort of the man around which smith learns how to deal with the press in many ways. i know that you -- we were talking earlier. you said you had been writing about this in great detail about the milk issue and hearst's attacks on smith. >> this is a great question. i'm glad dave brought this up. william randolph hearst was probably one of the most controversial government figures or quasi government figures in new york history. he was a two-term congressman from new york city. he basically bought the seat. he went to taniny hall, says he wanted it. tried to get the nomination in 1904 for president of the united states and h lost that. he runs for governor in 1906 against charles evans hughes and loses. runs for new york city mayor and loses. but he has control of the two newspapers, "the evening journal" and "the new york american." and he turns out real -- the bases appeal to people. to try to tell them that i know better. i'm a reforme
