[PAR] [TLE] California gubernatorial election, 1934 [SEP] The California gubernatorial election, 1934 was held on November 6, 1934.  Held in the midst of the Great Depression, the 1934 election was amongst the most controversial in the state's political history, pitting conservative Republican Frank Merriam against former Socialist Party member turned Democrat Upton Sinclair, author of "The Jungle".  A strong third party challenge came from Commonwealth-Progressive Raymond L. Haight, a Los Angeles lawyer campaigning for the political center.  Much of the campaign's emphasis was directed at Sinclair's EPIC movement, proposing socialist reforms to cure the state's ailing economy.  Merriam, who had recently assumed the governorship following the death of James Rolph, characterized Sinclair's proposal as a step towards communism. [PAR] [TLE] The Jungle [SEP] The Jungle is a 1906 novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968).  Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities.  Perhaps his main goal in exposing the meat industry and working conditions was to advance Socialism in the United States.  However, most readers were more concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, greatly contributing to a public outcry which led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act.  Sinclair famously said of the public reaction "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."
