Hale faced a strong challenge in the [[1934 Midterm Elections]]; even though Maine was a strongly Republican state during the era, the [[Great Depression]] and resulting heavy backlash against the [[GOP]] proved to be formidable. He was only re-elected over [[Democrat]] opponent F. Harold Dubord by a margin of 0.43 percentage points.<ref>[https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=30550 ME US Senate Race - Sep 10, 1934]. ''Our Campaigns''.
