1936 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
Since its landslide endorsement of William Jennings Bryan's "free silver" in its inaugural 1896 election, Utah had been a swing state apart from its support for embattled President William Howard Taft in 1912. Woodrow Wilson had carried the state easily in 1916 due to strong anti-war sentiment, but James M. Cox, John W. Davis and Robert M. La Follette did not win a single county between them in the 1920 and 1924 Republican landslides.


1936 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
Vis-à-vis the rest of the nation, the Beehive State had shown only a small anti-Hoover trend in 1932. During Landon's summer campaigning, Utah was targeted strongly as a state the GOP needed to carry to have a chance at the presidency. However, FDR's western public works programs, most notably Boulder Dam, had made him exceptionally popular in the rugged, arid West.


1936 United States presidential election in Utah, Background
Along with the potent campaigning of James Farley meant that, by the last week of October the Republicans were showing no interest in the Beehive State, and this despite the opposition of the leadership of Utah's dominant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Roosevelt's candidacy and policies, chiefly regarding the church's desire to remove Mormons from welfare rolls.


1936 United States presidential election in Utah, Vote
Utah, like every other state west of the Appalachian Mountains, voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt over Alf Landon by a substantial margin, making FDR the first (and only) Democrat to win the state more than once. Roosevelt landslided Utah with 69.34 percent of the vote, which remains the second best Democratic result from the state behind William Jennings Bryan in the state's inaugural election of 1896.


1936 United States presidential election in Utah, Vote

1936 United States presidential election in Vermont

Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
Vermont voted for the Republican nominee, Kansas Governor Alf Landon, over the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.

1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
Landon took 56.39% of the vote, to Roosevelt’s 43.24%, a margin of 13.15%.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
Vermont historically was a bastion of liberal Northeastern Republicanism, and by 1936 the Green Mountain State had gone Republican in every presidential election since the founding of the Republican Party. From 1856 to 1932, Vermont had had the longest streak of voting Republican of any state, having never voted Democratic before, and this tradition continued even in the midst of a nationwide Democratic landslide in 1936. It would not vote Democratic until 1964.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
Vermont had been one of only six states to vote to re-elect embattled incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover over FDR in the latter’s 1932 landslide, and in 1936, it was one of only two states in the entire nation (along with nearby Maine) to vote for Alf Landon over the wildly popular Roosevelt. Vermont and Maine ultimately would be the only states to reject FDR in all four of his presidential campaigns.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
In terms of vote share, Vermont was the most Republican state in the nation, and in terms of margin, it was the second most Republican state after Maine, as populist William Lemke took votes away from Roosevelt in Maine but was not on the ballot in Vermont. Vermont would weigh in as a whopping 37% more Republican than the national average in the 1936 election.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
Landon carried eleven of the state’s fourteen counties, breaking 60% in seven. However, the three northwestern counties of Vermont had become Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state, and Roosevelt once again won Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle counties for the Democrats.


1936 United States presidential election in Vermont
As of 2021, even after a quarter-century as a classic “blue” state that usually supports Democratic presidential candidates, Vermont has voted for more Republican presidential nominees than any other state. From 1856 through 1960 and from 1968 to 1988, Vermont gave the state’s electoral votes to the Republican Party nominee in every presidential election. No other state has voted so many times in a row for candidates of the same political party.

1936 United States presidential election in Washington (state)
FDR's 66.38 percent result is the best ever achieved by a Democratic presidential candidate in Washington state. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Adams County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. This would also prove the last time Whitman County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate until Bill Clinton in 1992, as well as the last time a presidential candidate won every single county in the state.

1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin
The 1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 3, 1936 as part of the 1936 United States presidential election. State voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.


1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
Wisconsin had since the decline of the Populist movement been substantially a one-party state dominated by the Republican Party. The Democratic Party became entirely uncompetitive outside certain German Catholic counties adjoining Lake Michigan as the upper classes, along with the majority of workers who followed them, completely fled from William Jennings Bryan's agrarian and free silver sympathies. As Democratic strength weakened severely after 1894 – although the state did develop a strong Socialist Party to provide opposition to the GOP – Wisconsin developed the direct Republican primary in 1903 and this ultimately created competition between the "League" under Robert M. La Follette, and the conservative "Regular" faction.


1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
The beginning of the 1910s would see a minor Democratic revival as many La Follette progressives endorsed Woodrow Wilson, but this flirtation would not be long-lasting as Wilson's "Anglophile" foreign policies were severely opposed by Wisconsin's largely German- and Scandinavian-American populace. Subsequent federal elections saw the Midwest desert the Democratic Party even more completely due to supposed preferential treatment of Southern farmers, and in Wisconsin there were never more than three Democrats in the state legislature (and none in the State Senate) between 1921 and 1929.


1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Background
The Great Depression radically altered the state's politics, as the La Follette family did not support President Herbert Hoover in 1932, with the result that he lost to Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt by two-to-one. Following a brief Democratic interlude after the 1932 elections, Robert M. La Follette, Jr.formed the Wisconsin Progressive Party and during the 1934 midterm elections that party captured seven of Wisconsin's ten House of Representatives seats and most statewide offices under a platform of improved land conservation and a federal referendum and initiative system. La Follette, despite his respect for Union Party nominee William Lemke, strongly endorsed Roosevelt, whilst Landon based his hopes on traditional Democrats responding to Al Smith's backing of him and the state's farmers' dislike of trade treaties as reducing their access to foreign markets.


1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Vote
At the beginning of the poll it was thought that Union Party candidate Lemke would threaten Roosevelt's hold on Wisconsin's electoral votes as the Midwest had gone through a record heatwave and extreme drought. Republican nominee Alf Landon campaigned in Wisconsin in late September, arguing that Roosevelt's trade agreements with Canada were hurting Wisconsin's farmers, and that racial tolerance in a state where virtually all areas outside inner Milwaukee had become sundown towns alongside academic freedom were critical issues for the state and the nation. Landon did receive a good reception in Milwaukee, but had his hotel invaded in Oshkosh. Senator La Follette did much of the campaigning for Roosevelt in the state, whilst the President focused his campaign on other states of the Midwest.


1936 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Vote
Late in September, polls showed Roosevelt narrowly leading Landon, although a Gallup poll showed him increasing his lead in the Badger State. Although no later polls were conducted, as it turned out Roosevelt won convincingly and held his two-to-one 1932 margin, carrying all but four counties. Vis-à-vis the 1932 election, Roosevelt gained significantly in the industrial areas of the northwest – in Douglas County he gained 24 percent on his 1932 figures – and in the urban southeast, but lost in the rural areas lying between these two groups. A substantial vote for Lemke from isolationist German Catholics would pave the way for the traditional Democratic areas in the east to permanently leave the party with the following election, as this group could not accept the urban bias of the New Deal.

1936 Vanderbilt Cup, Background
This was the first time that the Vanderbilt Cup was held since 1916. George Washington Vanderbilt III, the nephew of the founder of the Vanderbilt Cup, William Kissam Vanderbilt II, sponsored a 300-mile race (480 km) in 1936 at Roosevelt Raceway. Just like in the original races, European drivers were enticed by the substantial prize money - Scuderia Ferrari entered three Alfa Romeo racers. However, because of little American competition and an unexciting course layout, the race was organised for only two years. Both races were won by Europeans. After 1937, the Vanderbilt Cup would not be raced until 1960.


1936 Vanderbilt Cup, Race results
Twelve of the forty-five drivers that started the race were Europeans driving an English ERA or an Italian Alfa Romeo, Bugatti or Maserati. The rest of the field was made up of Americans in dirt track cars with two-speed gearboxes. Although the course contained only one long straight, and the European drivers had to get used to the loose dirt track surface, the Americans were no contest for the Grand Prix cars. For example, even with Nuvolari's V12 Alfa Romeo running on eleven cylinders, he won by eight minutes on Wimille. The best American driver was Cummings finishing seventh almost twenty-five minutes behind the winner.

Two walks and a wild pitch by Lefty Gomez in the second inning allowed the Giants to cut the lead to 2–1, but the Yankees blew the game open in the third inning. A single, walk and error loaded the bases with no outs. Al Smith relieved Schumacher and allowed a two-run single to Gehrig and RBI single to Dickey. A one-out walk reloaded the bases before Tony Lazzeri's grand slam off Dick Coffman made it 9–1 Yankees.

DiMaggio made a tremendous play in Game 2. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Hank Leiber drove the ball 490 feet (150 m) deep into dead center, and Joe caught the ball running up the steps of the clubhouse. This remarkable catch was at least 40 feet (12 m) further than Willie Mays' far more celebrated catch of Vic Wertz's drive to deep straightaway center in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. After DiMaggio's game-ending grab, President Roosevelt, who was in attendance, saluted Joe for his great catch as he rode off in the presidential limousine. All three ninth-inning outs were made by DiMaggio.

1936 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
Ott's home run in the fifth cut the lead to 5–3, then in the seventh, Dick Bartell hit a leadoff double and scored on Bill Terry's single to make it a one-run game. Tony Lazzeri's RBI single in the eighth off Slick Castleman made it 6–4 Yankees, but the Giants again cut the lead to one on Jo-Jo Moore's home run in the bottom half off Johnny Murphy. The Yankees, though, blew it open in the ninth. After two leadoff singles off Dick Coffman, an error on Bill Dickey's fielder's choice allowed one run to score.


1936 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
A walk loaded the bases before Powell drove it two with a single. Harry Gumbert relieved Coffman and after a walk loaded the bases, Murphy's single, Crosetti's walk, Rolfe's groundout, and Joe DiMaggio's single scored a run each to make it 13–5 Yankees. Murphy retired the Giants in order in the bottom of the ninth to give the Yankees the championship.

1936 college football season, The Slippery Rock National Championship
Due to the confusion and controversy associated with who should be crowned the 1936 national champion, a number of sportswriters across the country jokingly nominated several small colleges based on a sort of backtracking arithmetic, where the small college would have beaten team B, which defeated team C, which upset team D, which defeated one or several of the real national championship contenders. These were Minnesota (consensus), Pitt (BS, CFRA, HS), Duke (SR, WS), or LSU (BQPRS).


1936 college football season, The Slippery Rock National Championship
The most well prominent and well known claim for the national championship via transitive property, was tiny Slippery Rock college, who made its case by beating Westminster, which defeated West Virginia Wesleyan, which beat No. 14 Duquesne, which upset No. 3 Pitt, which beat former No. 1 Notre Dame, which upset former No. 1 Northwestern, which defeated AP national champion Minnesota. The claim gave Slippery Rock College wide notoriety throughout the country, and is one of the reasons why certain football teams, most notably Michigan and Texas, broadcast the Slippery Rock score during halftime of their football games.


1936 college football season, The Slippery Rock National Championship
Other claims to the 1936 national championship via transitive property were St. Vincent college of Latrobe, PA, which followed much of Slippery Rock's line of successive wins, beating West Virginia Wesleyan 6 to 0 early in the 1936 season. A case was made for Indiana State Teachers college, which tied Lock Haven, who beat West Chester, which defeated Waynesburg, which connected to the Slippery Rock and St. Vincent's claims by defeated West Virginia Wesyleyan 14 to 7. A week before Thanksgiving, St. Thomas college of Pennsylvania was given national championship recognition after defeating St. Vincent 13 to 6.
