The American Liberty League

The newly created American Liberty League popped across the political skies in 1934. Allegedly, nonpartisan, the league is manned by conservative Democrats and Republicans for the purpose of turning the spotlight on the economic activities of the federal government. The makeup of the league's executive committee was designed to demonstrate its bipartisan nature. It included John Davis, attorney for JP Morgan, Al Smith, former Democratic candidate for president, wealthy businessman Irene DuPont, and two New York Republicans.
