Hi Jasmin, I also have the same perception as you do to why President Roosevelt decided not to help Upton Sinclair in his campaign. As you mentioned, I can see why Roosevelt was not motivated or wanting to have any involvement whatsoever to supporting Upton Sinclair for California Governor. Instead, FDR was focus, concerned and determined to developing his "New Deal," to help in aiding and pulling the country out of the Depression. You mentioned the End Poverty in California (EPIC) helped to influence the American people in supporting SInclair to victory in his campaign. Why was this so? Also, why did President Roosevelt want to have nothing to do with the EPIC? I believe if FDR would of helped Sinclair in his campaign, he would of not
