WILLIAM F. KNOWLAND
The U.S. Senator sends an autographed envelope and photograph (not
included) at the request of a constituent
Typed letter signed: "William F. Knowland" as President and
Publisher of the "Oakland Tribune", 1p, 5½x8½. Oakland, California, 1968
March 18. In full: "Dear Mr. Epsy: In accordance with your
request, I have autographed the enclosed envelope . Also, I am sending you an
autographed photo [items not included]. Sincerely yours". William
F. Knowland (1908-1974) represented California in the U.S. Senate from
1945-1959. The Republican was Senate Majority Leader (1953-1955) and
Minority Leader (1955-1959). Knowland was twice considered for the
Republican Vice-Presidential nomination in 1952: once by Senator Robert
Taft, Dwight Eisenhower's principal rival for the nomination; and again by
Eisenhower himself, when it appeared that the "Checkers" scandal might require
that Richard Nixon be dropped from the ticket. Although their policy views
were similar, Knowland and Nixon, rivals for leadership of the Republican Party
in California, detested each other. Knowland lost a race for Governor in
1958. He committed suicide in 1974. Lightly creased. Fine
condition.
