Object Details

Mary Norton and Edith Nourse Rogers were just starting storied careers in the House when they met for a radio debate in early 1926. No strangers to politics, both had been active in reform movements for years. During their exchange on radio station WRC, Norton spoke of the Democratic Party as “the champion of liberty, justice and equality.” Rogers, in turn, praised the Republican-controlled House and assured military veterans that the Congress would not “forget its debt to you.”
