Dall became involved with the "...racist Right's ill-fated efforts at forming a third party..."<sup>[[#Footnotes 4|M]]</sup>. In 1960 the Texas-based Constitution Party put-up retired Marine Corps Brigadier General Merritt B. Curtis for president, and campaign manager Curtis B. Dall for vice-president.  In the 1960s Curtis, an ardent conservative, was a member of the Christian Crusade National Advisory Board, and a member of the Executive Board of "We The People".  In 1966/7 he wrote the book for which he is most cited today, ''[[F.D.R. My Exploited Father-In-Law]]'', in which he speaks of his ex-father-in-law, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Franklin's relationship with, as Curtis saw them, the corrupt power of the banking elite of the time.  In 1968, his name was filed for the Presidential primaries in New Hampshire. In 1971, he was Chairman of the Liberty Lobby<sup>[[#Footnotes 4|N]]</sup>  He retired as chairman in 1982.
