Campaign Addresses of Governor Alfred E. Smith Democratic Candidate for President: 1928
"Campaign Addresses of Governor Alfred E. Smith Democratic Candidate for President 1928" is a foundational collection of political rhetoric that captures a pivotal moment in American history. This volume preserves the series of speeches delivered by Governor Alfred E. Smith during his landmark 1928 bid for the presidency. As the first Roman Catholic candidate from a major party, Smith's campaign addressed critical national issues of the era, including prohibition, labor rights, social reform, and the evolving role of the federal government in the early 20th century.
The addresses contained within this work offer an unfiltered look at the Democratic platform of the late 1920s and the charismatic, straight-talking style that earned Smith the nickname "The Happy Warrior." From his formal acceptance speech to major addresses delivered in Omaha, Oklahoma City, and New York, the text documents a vision for a modern, inclusive America. For historians, students of political science, and readers interested in the evolution of American campaigning, this collection provides essential primary source material on the ideological shifts and societal tensions that defined the pre-Depression political landscape. It serves as a testament to Smith's enduring influence on the Democratic Party and his significant role in shaping the political discourse of the 20th century.
