The period following Langer's unsuccessful bid for Governor, his debates with Townley and the publication of his book terminate one section the Langer papers. Starting somewhere in 1920 or a little later, up until 1932, the Langer papers are not complete. Much was destroyed by poor storage. Another sizable amount of correspondence, the legal correspondence of the law firm of Langer-Nuchols, will follow in subsequent boxes. At times, a strict chronological order box by box will be broken in order to preserve scattered long term plans of Langer during this period.

It is important to note that aside from an abortive attempt to become Attorney General in 1928 Langer is out of public office from 1920 until he becomes Governor in 1932. Yet, Langer's election to the Governorship in 1932 reveals a strong political machine which grew and was nourished during this period of official political hibernation.

The following folders contain correspondence dealing with relief and federal work projects during the depression. These folders only contain letters concerning federal organizations as there is later a separate section on relief and applications for state jobs. It should be noted that the eventual ouster of Langer as governor is directly connected with his administration of these federal work projects.
