Yes, you are correct. During the election of 1936, Franklin Roosevelt focused mainly on defeating the Liberty League running Alfred M. Landon. The Liberty League was a conservative organization formed in opposition to Roosevelt's New Deal policies. They argued for limited government intervention in the economy and opposed Roosevelt's efforts to aid the poor and regulate business. By declaring the party a "millionaire's union," Roosevelt sought to portray his opponent as being out of touch with the needs and concerns of the average American.
