They put Herbert Hoover in the White House and added seven Republicans to the Senate. including Henry Hatfield. who defeated Neely by a margin of nearly ten thousand votes. In the Senate he drew good committee assignments. serving with prominent progressives such as George Norris on Agriculture. Hiram Johnson on Immigration. and Robert La Follette. Jr. on Manufactures. There he assiduously looked after the interests of his home State with amendments to the HawleySmoot tariff to protect the coal. glass. woolen. chemical. and lumber industries.21 As always. he took a particular interest in health care issues.
