FRANK KNOX
Clipped signature of the Republican who ran against FDR in 1936 and became his Navy Secretary in 1940.
Signature: "Frank Knox", 5x1¼ piece of paper possible the closing to a letter. Newspaper editor and publisher Frank Knox (1874-1944), a soldier in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and an artillery officer in France during World War I, was the Republican nominee for Vice President in 1936. Both Landon and Knox had supported Theodore Roosevelt's third party candidacy for President in 1912, the only Republican nominees for the top offices to have done so. The Landon-Knox ticket carried only the states of Maine and Vermont in 1936. In 1940, President Roosevelt, seeking bipartisan support for his foreign and defense policies, named Knox as Secretary of the Navy, where the former opponent promoted the rapid naval buildup FDR desired, serving until his death. Irregular edges. Fold crease through "F" of Frank and "K" of Knox. Otherwise, fine condition.
