Thank you. According to another web site, "The Honorable Dean Alfange was an American statesman born December 2, 1899, in Constantinople (now Istanbul). He served in the U.S. Army during World War I and attended Hamilton College, graduating in the class of ’22. Hamilton offers the “Dean Alfange Essay Prizes” established by Dean Alfange and awarded to the students who write the best and second-best essays on a feature or an issue of American constitutional government.

 

"Alfange was the American Labor candidate for governor of New York and a founder of the Liberal Party of New York."

Perhaps those who call themselves "progressives" today should consider the deeply-held conviction of what this Labor candidate for Governor of New York believed. His "I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout" flies in the face of the policies they are imposing on individuals today under the guise of "helping them."
