Southern Bryan 1896 - Landon 1936 voter?

[wnwnwn]

I suppose a man who resented northeastern a lot but was OK with politicians from the Great Plains.

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Unionist Republican born in 1875 who supported free trade and resented McKinley for his tariff. Voted Republican in all elections other than 1896.

I suppose semi locofoco small goverment pro trade conservadem types would have voted for both Bryan and Landon, but they would have been consistently democrat voting until 1932.

Evangelical for whom liquor and nativism mattered

This doesn't count since it backed McKinley in 1896, but Fannin, GA is a Bryan 1900/Landon 1936 county.

Bryan in 1896 did unusually well for a Democrat in the Missouri Ozarks.  FDR matched Bryan more or less only in '32, not in his later elections.

I was going to say something like this - a voter who strongly always preferred the "more Evangelical" candidate.  Bryan was the no-brainer in 1896, and Landon being a Methodist from Kansas was a bit more "Evangelical" than FDR being an Episcopalian from New York.

[Alcibiades]

There were two counties in the former Confederacy which voted this way: Clay County, NC, in the southwestern corner of the state, and Highland County, VA, which is high up in the Allegheny Mountains.

Looking to the border states, as shua alluded to, there were a lot in Missouri (21 in total -- the greatest concentration was indeed in the Ozarks, but there were quite a few throughout the state, which leads me to wonder whether Landon got something of a neighbouring state effect), as well as four in Kentucky, and one in West Virginia.

Overall, then, it seems the best sort of place to look if you wanted to find such a voter would have been in habitually Republican, ancestrally Unionist hill areas.
