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.

‎<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.

‎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

‎<p><b>FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed as President to Frederic A. Delano. Washington D.C. August 25 1942 1 p. 7 x 9 in. On White House stationery. </p><b>Complete Transcript</b><p><i>Dear Uncle Fred:- Many thanks for sending me that clipping about Tom Paine. I too have always had a keen interest in him. His principal mistake lay in his rather violent opposition to Washington in the campaign of 1792</i>. sic 1796.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Franklin Delano Roosevelt thanks his Uncle Fred his mother's brother for sending an article on Thomas Paine a Revolutionary figure in whom the president had <i>"a keen interest." </i>However FDR was mistaken in his reference to Paine's opposition to Washington in the presidential campaign of 1792. There was no campaign in 1792; Washington ran unopposed and was unanimously reelected. Paine's opposition came in 1796 after two parties had formed: the Federalists and the anti-Federalists the nascent Democratic - Republican party. </p><p>In 1792 Paine and Washington were on good terms as evidenced by a series of correspondence between the two. In 1791 Paine dedicated the first part of his "<i>Rights of Man</i>" to Washington and President Washington wrote Paine on May 6 1792 "<i>My thanks for the token of your remembrance in the 50 copies of 'Rights of Man' … I rejoice in the information of your personal prosperity</i>…"</p><p>While in Paris in 1793 Paine a naturalized American citizen since 1774 was arrested and imprisoned. On Sept. 20 1795 Paine wrote Washington hoping that the president could affect his release. "<i>After you were informed of my imprisonment in France it was incumbent on you to have made some enquiry into the cause."</i> Paine concluded.<i>"I cannot understand your silence upon this subject.I shall continue to think you treacherous till you give me cause to think otherwise</i>." During the campaign of 1796 Paine again wrote Washington on July 30 1796 "<i>I also declare myself opposed to almost the whole of your administration; for I know it to have been deceitful if not perfidious.</i>" Paine then published his letter cementing the acrimony between him and Washington and by extension John Adams the Federalist candidate in 1796.</p> books‎

‎1935 - 1947 ORIGINAL GROUP INCLUDING LOGS AND SCRAPBOOK OF THE NOTED RACING SCHOONER THE 'MISTRESS'‎

‎NEWPORT RHODE ISLAND TO BERGEN NORWAY et al 1935. On offer is a super archive of typed ship's logs and scrapbook regarding the noted schooner "The Mistress" dated 1935 - 1947. George E. Roosevelt President Teddy Roosevelt's nephew was Master and Navigator of the Mistress and while there are no ownership inscriptions or other identifiers it seems likely this scrapbook was compiled and written by Roosevelt. The Mistress was the former flagship of the New York Yacht Club built in Shelbourne Nova Scotia in 1930 for George Roosevelt. Designed by Sherman Hoyt she raced her way through the Depression and War years in Long Island Sound the bi-annual Newport to Bermuda Race and contests in Europe. The archive includes three original 1935 typed logs describing the tragic 1935 transatlantic Yacht Race from Newport - Bergen Norway. Each day of the race is mentioned in 10 pages of typed manuscript. Minor changes have been made inserted in pencil. Plus two original carbon copies of the same. This log mentions several tragic deaths aboard other yachts in this race. A 1931 original typed log of a trip from Newport R.I. on July 4 to July 23 1931 11 pages onboard The Mistress" with George E. Roosevelt Master. Plus one original carbon copy with minor changes inserted in pencil. Another rather interesting typed log or manuscript is a 1947 New York to Panama trip about a Navy vessel. This voyage was from March 31 to April. There is a great 12 x 10 x 6 inch photo of Newsman and officers on board the USS Wisconsin for the Fourth Naval Reserve Training cruise and is captioned. The log of the journey is attached. This includes daily notes and events with navy officers and newspaper reporters as well as the President of the Shell Oil Co. This log was typed on 12 pages on the reverse of each page is letter head from Harris Upham & Co- a famous brokerage firm dealing in securities. Here are some snippets: June 12 1935 Our cook deserves a few remarks. He is a Dane and admits an age of 51 but looks older. His performance during the two days of heavy weather was marvelous. Hot meals well cooked and promptly served greeted us each time we came below cold and wet. All this time cooking in galley without a breath of ventilation as we of course were battened down completely during the gale. He feels hurt if one does not eat a lot and will get anything asked for such as tea instead of coffee etc. Our skipper says this storm would be exceeded only by winter gales or tropical hurricanes. Our cook says that the beating he received was not deserved even by one who murdered his father and mother: and he says he never did that. June 21 1935 Long 27.20 The sun came out this afternoon and its warmth was most grateful. It soon went behind the clouds and our fingers on the wheel again became numb as they have been for day. Below decks we are warm and the food continues wonderful. our eggs are still good: the bread still fresh; rum ration served at times when tired and cold is far superior to whisky and brandy. Contrary to our course in 1931 we took ice with us this trip and the last of it melted away today and we had our last fresh meat today. Of our 320 gallons of water we have consumed only 100 so if conditions continue favorable water will be turned on in the toilet in three days. We so far have used only salt water for washing and bathing. One cup a piece a day for shaving has been allowance of fresh water. BIO NOTES: George Emlen Roosevelt 1887-1963 was a banker and philanthropist was a first cousin once-removed of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and one of the most prominent railroad financiers of his day involved in 14 railroad reorganizations. He also held directorships in several important companies including the Morgan-controlled Guaranty Trust Company the Chemical Bank and the Bank for Savings in New York.
