Abstract

The history of the Oregon Commonwealth Federation is the story of the rise and decline of a reform organization. This thesis is an attempt to discover why the OCF was formed, how it developed, and why it suddenly declined. From 1936 to 1942 the OCF tried to unite Oregon liberals behind the New Deal in an effort to bring liberal policies to the state. In this effort to bring a chicken to every pot, the OCF had a finger in almost every pie. Therefore, the history of the Commonwealth Federation involves a number of other organizations.
