  United States Union Party - 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.
The Union Party did attract modest support from populists on both sides of the political spectrum who were unhappy with Roosevelt and from the remnants of earlier third parties such as the Farmer-Labor Party.
William Lemke, a U.S. Congressman from North Dakota, was chosen as the party's nominee for the 1936 Presidential election.
