Because the Republicans had done soooooooooo much for the South at that point.
FDR was the first national leader to recognize the problem of an impoverished South. I don’t like his solutions, but he was the first one to say something was wrong. At least he backed the South on the railroad fight.

Another way is private business and their ability to set their own rates being interfered with by FDR and his Interstate Commerce Commission
