United States House election, 1938
Encyclopedia
The U.S. House election, 1938 was an election for the United States House of Representatives
in 1938 which occurred in the middle of President
Franklin Roosevelt's second term. Roosevelt's Democratic Party lost a net of 72 seats to the Republican Party, who also picked up seats from minor Progressive and Farmer-Labor Parties.
A contemporary account cited a number of reasons for the losses suffered by the Democrats. The first was the Recession of 1937
, which had continued into the first half of 1938, and which had arguably weakened public confidence in the administration's New Deal
economic policies. Controversy over a government reorganization bill (Roosevelt's "Court-packing" plan
) was also a major factor. There were, in addition, strains between the more liberal New Deal supporters and the conservative wing of the Democratic party centered in the Southern states. These strains were exacerbated by an effort led by President Roosevelt to target certain conservative senators for defeat in Democratic primaries, including Walter George
of Georgia, Millard Tydings
of Maryland and Ellison Smith of South Carolina, along with the chairman of the House Rules Committee, John J. O'Connor
of New York. While a number of New Deal supporters won primary elections, such as Sen. Alben Barkley in Kentucky, who defeated future baseball commissioner Happy Chandler
, Sen. James P. Pope
of Idaho, a prominent New Deal supporter, lost his bid for re-nomination, as did California senator William McAdoo
. Only Congressman O'Connor, among the "purge" targets, was defeated. While these are, strictly speaking, matters that relate to the Senate races, the controversy had its effects on House races.
Given the high levels of Democratic success in the 1930, 1932, 1934 and 1936 elections, the Democrats faced a difficult position in defending a large number of marginal seats, even without the pressures described above.
Overall, the Democrats would go on to lose 81 seats in the House, though with 262 seats, they retained a very strong majority position.
