A left-wing [[populist]] who fought the rich and promised "Every Man a King," he was preparing to run for president—either in [[United States presidential election, 1940|1940]] when [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] was expected to retire, or perhaps to challenge FDR's reelection in [[United States presidential election, 1936|1936]] in alliance with radio's influential Catholic priest Father [[Charles Coughlin]].
