The supporting Indiana documents show how that policy landscape was translated into district-based electoral work while the voting leaflet widens the view to a national New Deal contest over social provision public spending agriculture currency housing labor and veterans' compensation.

A snapshot of U.S. policy in the Midwest in 1935 preserving legislation on veteran's pensions New Deal vote-tracking and Indiana electoral geography. unknown
