The story of this man is told in the book Deeds Not Deficits by Richard Fowler, which contains a forward by the journalist whose career was backed by this politician, William Allen White. This man delivered a lecture entitled "New Challenges in International Relations" as the first in a series now named after him. He narrowly defeated Harry Woodring in one election during which he gained the nickname "the Fox," but he's better remembered for a candidacy which led him to be the target of the joke "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont" - since those were the only two states he won. This former governor of Kansas lost that election running alongside Frank Knox, and his poor showing led his party to replace him four years later with Wendell Willkie. For 10 points, name this Republican who badly lost to FDR in 1936.
