Topic: 1936 election


  
  Quebec general election, 1936 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quebec general election of 1936 was held on August 17, 1936 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, Canada.
This 1936 election had been called less than one year after the 1935 election after Liberal premier Louis-Alexandre Taschereau resigned because of a scandal.
After losing the subsequent 1939 election, he later won four more general elections in a row, and became the dominant politician of his time.

 Maurice Duplessis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duplessis and the UN won the August 1936 election in a landslide, putting an end to 39 consecutive years of Liberal rule.
Duplessis's first government was defeated in the 1939 election, a snap election called by the premier in hopes of exploiting the issue of Canadian participation in World War II.
He won the 1936 election, lost the 1939 election, won the 1944 election, 1948 election, 1952 election, and 1956 election and died in office in 1959.

 United States presidential election, 1936 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The election was held on November 3, 1936 (except in Maine, where the election was held earlier).
This election is notable for the Literary Digest poll, which was based on 10 million questionnaires mailed to readers and potential readers; over two million were returned.

The election of 1792 was the second presidential election in the United States, and the first in which each of the original 13 states appointed electors.
The election of 1808 was the first of only two cases where a new President would be elected, but the Vice Presidency remained in the same hands.

 Union Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Union Party was a short-lived political party in the United States, formed in 1936 by a coalition of radio priest Father Charles Coughlin, old-age pension advocate Francis Townsend, and Gerald L. Smith, who had taken control of Huey Long's Share Our Wealth movement after Long's assassination in 1935.
After the assassination, however, the two senators lost interest in the idea (Borah ran as a Republican, garnering only a few delegates and losing the nomination to Kansas governor Alf Landon) and Olson was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer.
William Lemke, a U.S. Congressman from North Dakota, was chosen as the party's nominee for the 1936 Presidential election.

 ::Opposition to the New Deal::
For all the credit Roosevelt has been given for the success (or otherwise) of the New Deal, there was opposition in America to both what he was doing with regards to his economic policies to combat unemployment and to the beliefs he was perceived to have held.
Though Roosevelt had enormous success in the elections of 1936, 1940 and 1944, this success is somewhat disguised by the structure of America’s elections whereby a presidential candidate can win a state with the bare majority of votes but win all of what are called Electoral College seats for that state.
Those who he planned to attack financially, the better off, historically vote the most at elections, so it is highly improbable that Long would have beaten Roosevelt in the 1936 election.

 My Election Analysis: Whither The Undecideds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In 1936, 1940, 1944, and 1948, there was a strong surge for incumbents from July and August polling to the final results.
Thus, from the data, incumbents won over the "summer undecideds" in 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948, 1956, 1976, It was a mixed bag in 1972, while the challenger picked up the undecideds in 1964 (barely), 1980, and 1996 (barely).
In the interest of full disclosure, I worked there for an economist, was having a lunchtime discussion with one of the "elections" people there (they have a great lunchroom there which facilitates interaction between the scholars and the staff), and she helped pull together the presentation.

 Election Registers - Texas State Library
The law defining the duties of the Secretary of State, passed in 1846, includes a provision that he shall, "in a separate book, suitable for the purpose, keep a complete register of all officers appointed and elected in the State..." The origins of the three Republic-era Election Registers, in contrast, are obscure.
The first (1836-1842) of the two volumes appears consistent with an office memorandum book, its entries lacking uniformity and, occasionally, legibility--clearly not intended as an official register; the second (1843-1846) resembles, both in physical appearance and in information recorded, the official volumes created by State government.
For compiled election returns beginning in 1850, consult the microfilm edition of the Secretary of State Executive Record Books.

In 1936, the Supreme Court declared the AAA to be unconstitutional, stating that "a statutory plan to regulate and control agricultural production, [is] a matter beyond the powers delegated to the federal government..." The AAA was replaced by a similar program that did win Court approval.

 ATO ID 2005/174 - Family trusts making interposed entity elections: different primary individuals
Subsection 272-85(4) of Schedule 2F to the ITAA 1936 requires the entity to pass the family control test at the end of the income year.
Broadly, an entity passes the family control test pursuant to section 272-87 of Schedule 2F to the ITAA 1936 if the entity is controlled by either the primary individual, or by members of the primary individual's family or a combination of both.
This is because pursuant to subparagraph 272-87(1)(a)(ii) of Schedule 2F to the ITAA 1936 one or more members of the primary individual's family to which the IEE will relate, controls the family trust it is being interposed into.

 Your Choice. Your Voice. - Lesson 5: The Polls - Backgrounder
It is a method of systematically interrogating a smaller, representatively-selected sample of the public; a sample that is fundamentally an accurate "mirror" of the opinions held by the entire population as a whole.
In 1936, The Literary Digest, a popular magazine of its day, predicted that the Democrat, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, would lose to his Republican challenger, Alfred Landon.
So the clear lessons of 1936 and 1948 are that the sample of individuals polled must be an accurate microcosm of the much larger population and that interviewing must continue up to election day since public opinion can be very fluid and unpredictable.
