Frederick Hale (October 7, 1874 – September 28, 1963) was a Maine Republican who was as the state's U.S. senator from the late 1910s to the early 1940s, previously for a term in the lower state legislature. He came from a political dynasty, as both his father Eugene Hale and maternal grandfather Zachariah Chandler were also senators.[2]
U.S. Senate
Hale was narrowly elected to the Senate in the 1916 elections,[3] and handily won re-election in 1922[4] and 1928.[5]
A fierce opponent of the liberal agenda during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hale resisted New Deal programs[6] at an even greater frequency than his Maine senatorial colleague Wallace H. White,[7] such as his vote against the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act).[8] Along with White in 1937, he was one of sixteen senators to vote against the confirmation of Klansman Hugo Black to the United States Supreme Court.[9]
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.[10]
