The Roosevelt red record and its background,
“The Roosevelt Red Record and Its Background” (Elizabeth Dilling) Its sentiments echo one of our favorite poems from the 1936 Presidential election campaign, which goes like this: "When the organizers needed dough, I closed up the plants for the CIO. I ruined jobs, and I ruined health, And I put the screws on the rich man's wealth. And some who couldn't stand the gaff, Would call on me---and how I'd laff. I took their homes, their money, and then, I put the blame on THE NINE OLD MEN." If your parents or grandparents voted for FDR in that year, they may very well be in this book. Ms. Dilling was a great collector of names.
