| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The name "Paul V. McNutt" may bring several things to mind for historians of American politics and diplomacy. Some will remember his ill-fated quest to succeed Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in the White House in 1940 or his two stints as U.S. high commissioner to the Philippine Islands during the 1930s and 1940s. Others will recall his governorship of Indiana, from 1933 to 1937, when he implemented a succession of New Deal-like policies while constructing a potent political machine for the Democratic party. Still others might stress his sending of National Guard troops to restore order in strike-torn Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1935. Ironically enough, there was another side to the powerful governor reviled during the 1930s by organized labor as the Hoosier Hitler. |
