Abstract
In this first interview I spoke with Dr. Clark about his research and recent book examining the 1950 US Senate Primary election between Claude Pepper and George Smathers. This was one of the most colorful and significant political campaigns in Florida. Professor Clark talks to me about his research and why we should remember these two political characters from Florida’s past.
