I was reading a book by Stedman Jones ("Masters of the Universe") and somewhere he mentions that the word liberal acquired a political connotation (Republican versus Liberals) in the early 20th century. After reading Scgumpeter and Hayek on this issue,  I had the impression that this conflation emerged during the second world war. 

Does anyone know when and how it actually happened?
