...Dealers, who had counted on Wallace to do the fighting, were disappointed. Some editorial writers were pained. Henry Wallace told farmers who had always been Republicans (except for their two votes for Franklin Roosevelt) that Hitler wanted the Republican Party to win. To violently protectionist cattlemen, he praised the Hull trade treaties...
...nowhere else was the farm political picture so clear. Colorado and Texas cattlemen were vehemently opposed to the Administration farm program-but in both State's the farmers who far outnumbered them were not. The feeling for Wallace, vague, contradictory, possessive, was compounded of many things-admiration for him personally, respect for his honest expression of his views, a conviction that he is sincerely for them, a belief that they may criticize him in a way that his political opponents should...

S. saw anything unPresidential about Mr. Hull except perhaps his age (oldest President: William Henry Harrison...
...last week, as Mr. Hull dickered desperately with Argentina for his 23rd trade agreement, the 23rd tide of complaints rolled in. Cattlemen, dairymen, manufacturers squawked louder than ever before. Not only had Republicans whipped up anti-agreement sentiment throughout the Midwest, but New Dealers from agricultural States had pledged themselves to jerk away Mr. Hull's powers at the earliest opportunity...
