Book Chapter
Senator Borah's Crusade to Save Small Business from the new Deal
William E. Borah, Republican US Senator from Idaho from 1906 until his death in Jan 1940, fought the National Recovery Administration, a New Deal program, because he believed it would promote monopoly and would work against the small, independent businessmen that he believed were the bedrock of American economic democracy. Borah made defending the interests of small business the focus of his unsuccessful bid for the 1936 Republican nomination for president. Though widely regarded as a political anachronism, Borah articulated popular views overlooked by his political contemporaries.

'Cracker' Senator Defends Outrages Against Negroes
Senator William E. Borah, in a patriotic speech in the Senate called attention to the amazing immediate need of drastic action against lynching and mob violence if the country is to be saved from destruction. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, followed Senator Borah, and not only defended the action of the mob in Omaha, but defended lynching generally, declaring that race clashes were all due to attempted outrages on white women by Negroes. To this statement, a prominent race leader remarked: \"It is a pity for America that such absurd falsifying is allowed to go unchallenged in the United States Senate. Senator Williams, sworn to uphold the Constitution, advocates lynch law.
