"Talmadge's Opposition"

"Roosevelt's new federal programs required the cooperation of state governments and were, therefore, slowed considerably by Eugene Talmadge, elected governor of Georgia in 1932. Having earned the trust of farmers as state agriculture commissioner and his claim to be "a real dirt farmer" himself, Talmadge consciously courted rural voters through lively political rallies in the state's small towns and countryside. His white-supremacist, pro-evangelical, and anti-corporate tirades had great grassroots appeal and earned him the long-term loyalty of his largely rural constituency. In Talmadge the New Deal found one of its most vigorous opponents."
