The elections of Payne and Smith to the Senate marked a turn in Maine Republican politics from its traditional [[conservatism]] to a more liberal Northeastern style. Previously in the 1930s, the state's U.S. senators [[Frederick Hale]] and [[Wallace H. White]] were considered conservatives who battled the [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Roosevelt]] Administration's policies.
