COUGHLIN AND THE UNION PARTY BY FOUR METROPOLITAN DAILY NEWSPAPERS DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN OF 1936: A STUDY by Charles C. Ragains This study is the result of the writer's inter- est in the Reverend Father Charles E. Coughlin, a Roman Catholic priest who was pastor of a parish in Royal Oak, Michigan, and whose oratory attracted national attention and considerable controversy; in the political and social ferment in the United States during the 1930's; and in the American press. The questions that motivated the study were: How did the nation's newspapers react to Coughlin, who is regarded as one of the foremost dema- gogues in American history, at the height of his career? Did the press significantly affect the priest's influence and power one way or the other? How did newspapers in- terpret Coughlin and his actions to their readers? Because of the length of Coughlin's public career (nearly sixteen years) it has been necessary to select a salient event or period on which to concentrate. Charles C. Ragains The period selected is the presidential election campaign of 1936. This span of approximately five and one-half months was chosen for several reasons.

  • 1. Before Reading the Ghosts of Eden Park, How Much Did You Know
    1. Before reading The Ghosts of Eden Park, how much did you know about George Remus, Mabel Walker Willebrandt, and the Prohibition Era? Which historical aspects of the book surprised you the most? Did you learn new things about this period in history? 2. You meet two very different female characters in the book: Imogene Remus and Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Compare and contrast these two characters. With whom did you most identify and why? What did you like or dislike about them? How did they each adhere to—and rebel against— circumscribed gender roles? 3. George and Imogene’s relationship deteriorates after he’s sent to prison. Taking into consideration everything you’ve learned about Imogene, do you believe their love was genuine? Why or why not? Were you surprised by their fates at the end? 4. What role does the Jazz Age setting play? Do you think these events could have occurred in any other era? 5. What were your initial impressions of George Remus? Did your opinions shift throughout the story? 6. The Ghosts of Eden Park uses excerpts of trial testimony to foreshadow and create suspense. Did you know which character would commit murder? Did your assumptions change at all as you read? 7. As you read about the court proceedings, what reactions did you have to the trial-by-jury process? What are the most significant factors in getting a fair trial, or an intelligent investigation? Have you served on a jury, or been a defendant before a jury? If so, how did your experience compare to the one described here? How would you have voted had you been on that jury? 8.
