National Committee (1932-1940) and Postmaster General (1933-1940)
under Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose presidential campaigns he had managed in 1932
and 1936. He held both posts until disagreeing with FDR about running for a
third term in 1940, leading to his resigning from both positions that year
(Farley remained Chairman of the Democratic Party in New York state, a
position in which he served from 1930-1944). After leaving FDR's administration,
Farley served as Chairman of the Board of the Coca-Cola Export
Corporation of New York until his retirement in 1973. From the collection
