This correspondence offers an amazing insight into Lemke’s initial enthusiasm for FDR; his frustration as FDR moved away from him; his growing desire from 1934 for a liberal candidate to emerge to oppose FDR in 1936; and his final decision to form a third party and to stand as its candidate.
In addition to my research into the Lemke papers, I also found a small amount of time at the library to undertake research into the representation of the Union Party campaign in the North Dakota press and in the New York Times.

So strong was the effect of his messages on his listeners, that his listeners felt empowered and by way of that empowerment, fueled Coughlin to begin a political party, which he named the Union Party.
Lemke, a strong supporter of the Populist ideas of William Jennings Bryan, ran against FDR (Democrat) and Alf Landon (Republican) in 1936.
Unlike Coughlin, however, Lemke was not a dynamic orator, nor was he considered personally attractive at the time, and thus, Lemke lost the race with the vast majority of the votes going to the eloquent orator, FDR.
