This dinner was held by the Democratic National Committee on Jan. 7, 1936 at
Washington, D. C.'s Mayflower Hotel. It included an address by Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Roosevelt (1882-1945, born in Hyde Park, New York) was elected
Governor of New York in 1928, succeeding his political patron (and later foe)
Alfred E. Smith, whom Roosevelt had nominated as the Democratic Presidential
candidate in 1928. Smith lost to Herbert Hoover, whom Roosevelt would himself
defeat for the Presidency four years later. Roosevelt, former state
legislator, Assistant Navy Secretary and Vice Presidential candidate (1920),
served two 2-year terms as New York's Governor before winning the first of an
unprecedented four elections to the US Presidency, an office he would hold
longer than anyone else (1933-1945). Lightly toned, soiled, and creased. Rust
stains on cover. Adhesive from photo has discolored pages. Staples are rusted.
Otherwise in fine condition.
