He married his distant cousin Eleanor Roosevelt in 1905 and they had six children between 1906 and 1916. Surprising everyone by gaining election to the New York Senate from a strongly Republican district Democrat Roosevelt served from 1911 to 1913 when President Woodrow Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He served in that position until 1920. He campaigned as the Democratic candidate for Vice President in 1920 but illness in 1921 left him paralyzed from the waist down. He served as governor of New York from 1929 to 1932 when he won the presidential election over unpopular incumbent Herbert Hoover. He went on to win reelection three times serving as president from 1933 to his death in 1945 the longest term of any president in U.S. history. His response to the Great Depression of the 1930s was the New Deal a series of measures to combat widespread unemployment falling farm prices and industrial production and homelessness.

He served as a junior naval officer in World War II and was decorated for bravery. After the war he practiced law in several New York firms. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1949 to 1955 but had an unimpressive career there. He ran for attorney general of New York in 1954 and for governor in 1966 but lost both times. He campaigned for John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Kennedy appointed him as Under-Secretary of Commerce but after Kennedy's assassination Roosevelt largely lost influence. He married five times divorced each of his first four wives and had a total of five children.</p> books‎

‎President Franklin D. Roosevelt Appoints Woodring as Secretary of War‎

‎<p><b>FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.</b>Partially Printed Document Signed Appointment of Harry H. Woodring as Secretary of War May 7 1937. Co-signed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull. 1 p. 22.75 x 18.5 in. </p><br /><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>After serving for three years as the Assistant Secretary of War Woodring took office in September 1936 a month after his predecessor George Dern's death in office. As Secretary of War Woodring continued Dern's recommendations for increasing the strength of the Regular Army the National Guard and the Reserve Corps. However Woodring was also a strict non-interventionist which put him increasingly at odds with Roosevelt's cabinet. They placed increasing pressure on Woodring to resign and on Roosevelt to fire him. Instead Roosevelt appointed interventionist Louis A. Johnson as Assistant Secretary of War. Woodring and Johnson immediately clashed and came to the point where they no longer spoke to each other. On June 20 1940 Roosevelt fired Woodring and replaced him with Republican Henry Stimson who had been William Howard Taft's Secretary of War and Herbert Hoover's Secretary of State.</p><p>Although Roosevelt appointed Woodring to succeed Dern as Acting Secretary of War in the fall of 1936 he did not officially nominate him until April 27 1937. The Senate confirmed the appointment on May 6 1937. Roosevelt issued this formal appointment as Secretary of War to Woodring the following day.</p><p><b>Harry Hines Woodring</b> 1887-1967 was born in Kansas the son of a farmer and Union Army soldier. He attended a business school in Indiana which helped him get a job at a bank in Kansas. He became vice president and owner of another bank when he enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army. He later served a junior officer in the Tank Corps during World War I. He won election as governor of Kansas as a Democrat in 1930. He served as Governor of Kansas from 1931 to 1933 but lost a re-election bid in 1932. Incoming President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Woodring as Assistant Secretary of War. In that position from 1933 to 1936 he had supervision over procurement. Roosevelt promoted Woodring to the position of Secretary of War to succeed George Dern who had died in office. Woodring served as Secretary of War until Roosevelt fired him in June 1940. Woodring returned to Kansas where he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1946.

‎President Roosevelt Praises The Merchant Marines And New Ships For The War Effort In A World War Ii-Dated Letter: “The Necessity Of Maintaining An Adequate Merchant Marine…The Economic Value To The Nation Of Using Such Merchant Marine Fleet To Help Expand Our Commercial Intercourse With Other Nationsâ€‎

‎FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT 1882-1945. Roosevelt was the Thirty-Second President. TLS. 1pg. September 9 1944. Washington. A typed letter signed “Franklin D. Roosevelt†as President. Using “The White House Washington†letterhead Roosevelt wrote to Arthur M. Tode Honorary President of the Propeller Club of the United States an organization for maritime professionals. The letter concerns the Merchant Marines the use of their ships in economic activities and the Propeller Club’s efforts. “Dear Mr. Tode: The great expenditure of manpower and materials during the past three years in building a large number of vessels as an auxiliary to our Navy and to carry the needed supplies for the United Nations’ war effort should I believe have made clear to all Americans the necessity of maintaining an adequate merchant marine for this purpose. There is not however such a clear understanding of the economic value to the nation of using such merchant marine fleet to help expand our commercial intercourse with other nations and to carry our domestic water-borne commerce. The patriotic efforts of the Propeller Club of the United States in striving to educate the public on this point are most commendable. The coming annual American Merchant Marine Conference should furnish the marine industry with an opportunity to formulate and put into effect plans which will enable the industry to be of far greater service to the nation than ever before. It should do so. Very sincerely yours Franklin D. Rooseveltâ€. The letter has been professionally restored to remove a backing and it is encapsulated. It is accompanied by a Harry Truman facsimile letter distributed to attendees of the Propellor Club meeting. A fine reminder of a branch of the military that lost between 8000 and 12000 sailors during World War II. unknown books‎

While visiting Tuskegee Roosevelt also met with military veterans at the college; this meeting made an impact as a few days after his visit on April 3 1939 Roosevelt signed a law expanding the Army Air Corps and called for the creation of training programs at black colleges to prepare African-Americans for service in the Air Corps support services. Two years later the War Department announced the creation of the 99th Pursuit Squadron the famous all-Black flying unit known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Light crease in upper right corner.
