they settle on smith. smith goes and gets elected. in 1919, immediately, william randolph hearst starts to poke at smith's programs. there's a milk strike in new york city. the upstate dairies can't get the milk into new york city. they then have a milk strike upstate where the producers won't ship it to new york city. well, none of this is within the purview of the governor's powers. the governor tries to get his department of farms and markets to act. they don't act because they don't report to the governor because the governor has no power over his own departments. hearst won't take this answer. he says you're moving too slow on municipal ownership. you're the governor. make the legislature do this. they won't do this. smith goes head to head with him. october 29th, 1919, he takes the stage at carnegie hall and has it out with hearst. he has a debate. invites hearst to the debate. hearst won't show up to the debate. he goes to sam simeon and buys more art work. smith goes and probably loses control, red in the face, screams and yel

smith only loses by 75,000. that's where one famous person said to him, it was like swimming up niagara falls and you came the closest that anybody ever did. he comes back in 1922 and wins a squeaker. then in 1924 he starts to add to his totals and he wins against teddy roosevelt jr. and then ogden mills in '26. he didn't have light opponents, either. it was only in the 1920s when he terms start to pay -- come to fruition. in 1919, 1920 he's seen as the accidental governor. >> 1920 women get the vote. does that make a difference in al smith's electoral career? >> al smith is interesting because, as john indicated before, he actually staffs a lot of his inner circle with women. at a moment when not many figures are doing that. particularly reformers out of new york, many of whom go on to be pretty significant figures in the new deal. frances perkins who becomes fdr's secretary of labor is a close ally of smith.

it smith the dynamics of smith/roosevelt relation. ultimately roosevelt winds up where smith wanted to be and smith winds up in retirement. >> we will get into that. beverly gage, when we asked you prior to the show some of the issues you thought were important to the 1928 election, one that you mentioned was the role of the media in 1928. 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. submit openly acknowledged it. but a lot of it was done and talked about through innuendo. john mentioned earlier the idea of a whispering campaign, right? it wasn't something that was going to be said in the press. but at the

smith. what would he think in terms of, one, the ethnicity of the immigrants coming in are vastly different than those he grew up with. but also largely, we're looking for policies in today's immigration platform that would deal with labor issues. you know, whether or not people who have been here illegally should have the right to work after, you know, having been in the country for a certain number of years. so i wonder where would al smith stand on that type of issue, immigration as it relates to labor and also racism as you've talked about. you know, we don't really see much in terms of the ku klux klan anymore but agencies as it relates to immigration. would he be as strong, or would it depend on at what point in history you met mr. smith? thank you. >> thank you, professor. let's start with john evers. >> i think that smith would be very understanding of loose immigration. and that would probably be because of where he grew up. smith was exposed to all kinds of ethnicities, all kinds o

and that was al smith in 1930. and that debate is taking place today again. >> john evers, that portrait or that photograph of al smith that's in that speaker's office, when was that taken? >> that was probably taken when he was the speaker. a very young man. smith was elected to the assembly when he was only about 30 years old. and so he would probably be in that picture, you know, mid-30s or so. maybe close to 35, 36 or so. that might have been one of his official portraits as an assemblyman and it might very well have been his portrait as the speaker. >> how powerful was the speaker of the house -- speaker of the new york assembly and how does that compare with the power today? >> well, the speaker is always the most powerful person. i'd say it was comparable. starting out, and as i mentioned he sat way in the back row, he didn't even meet the speaker, fred nixon from chautauqua county until three days before the session adjourned. the speaker back then was almost regal. today it's more -- the power is more diff

smith? >> i think that smith would be understanding of loose immigration, that would probably be because of where he grew up. smith was exposed to all kinds of ethic groups, and immigrants, his mother was a daughter of immigrants and his father was a son of immigrants, he worked in an area that had sailors from all over the world. he worked in a neighborhood that had all kinds of people from all over the world, in fact he had joked at one time that represents from china town came up from one of the marriages of the daughter. he would be more understanding of an open immigration or a widely construed program for immigration, because that is what he grew up with. >> 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 de

>> mm-hmm. >> smith: which... are you familiar with those?>> yeah. >> smith: was that a clean deal? >> i don't know. at the time that the deals were entered into... hard to tell. would j.p. morgan have done those deals? no. no. too complicated, too small a counterparty. >> smith: so in this case, i mean, you're holding banks responsible for leading less sophisticated municipal officials, you know, down the... down the wrong path? >> yeah, i would hold banks responsible for that. >> smith: that was the abuse of derivatives, right? >> there were abuses. in every market, there are abuses. there were abuses in the derivative markets. because of the opaqueness of derivatives, it was probably easier to abuse in some cases. >> smith: and what does that say about the profession? >> it obviously doesn't cover the profession in glory. when you go through a period-- like we all did-- where really large amounts of money were available to individuals-- we're talking bonuses-- the incentive to cheat is very high. it's very high. >> narrator: by last count,

governor smith was a huge proponent of bonding. and that has also created propensity today for dependence on bonding and could create state debt. >> what difference in al smith make in national politics? >> i think that al smith called certain questions and faced them down. his candidacy raised questions that had been percolating in various ways throughout the 1920s. these questions that we've been talking about. immigration, nativism, all of these sorts of issues. and he really calls the question -- he takes a very sort of powerful stand about who's going to be an american. who ought to be included as an american. and becomes a great symbol for that. i think within the democratic party, he is also a very powerful figure and sort of consolidating what we now talk about as the roosevelt coalition, but it's really something that begins with al smith bringing this urban core into the democratic party. >> yale university history professor beverly gage and john evers, former new york state assembly historian, thank you so much for being

the heroic figure in my book is adam smith, the founder of modern economics. so i discovered by making adam smith the central character of my book and the theme of natural liberty, i was able to actually tell a story. this book is actually a story with a plot, how adam smith and the system of natural liberty are treated over time. how they come over under attack and how they are resurrected and brought back to life and even improved upon so it is really a unique, i think i've done something very unique. in this textbook is popular because i make it a historic story, the character triumphs in the end. he is the model that i see as the ideal. >> who was loved while monday's -- ludwig von mises. >> he initially taught at the university of vienna. he left during world war ii. he came to america, and his economics became more popular during that time period. he is certainly a heroic figure in my book with the austrian school. one of his closest associates won the nobel prize in economics in 1974. so yes, he is an important character in my book. >> when they talk ab
