Farley New Democratic Chief Had Early Start in Politics Cha'irman of Democratic National Committee, Credited With Roosevelt Victory, Was a Politician Before He Could Vote. “Regular Fellow” Tactics His Big Asset. OOSEVELT AT THE CONVENTION | Farley, known to thousands as “Big Jim,” is not the newcomer | to politics as is popularly supposed outside his home State of New York. In fact, the man who is credited with “putting Roosevelt over” at the | recent convention has been playing the game since he was twelve. Farley was born in Grassy Point, Rockland County, N. Y., in 1888, and at an | age when he should have been counting his marbles he was fascinated by the oratory, extolling the full dinner pail, that was a feature of the McKinley-Bryan campaign. So intrigued was he by politics that he was made a town committeeman in the Democratic Party, long before he | made his first mark on a ballot. Farley’s first elective office was that of Town Clerk of Stody Point, N. Y., from 1912 to 1919. Then in rapid succession he became Supervisor and Assemblyman, in the meantime | climbing to eminence in the councils of the State Democratic Party, of which he was named chairman in 1930. His “ringcraft” in the recent | campaign for Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, which astounded many | old warhorses of innumerable conventions, may have been a product of | his experience as chairman of the State Boxing Commission; for politics | resembles boxi asmuch as the main object is to get one’s oppone! | where one wants him and then to hit hard and often. “Big Jim’s” methods are thase of the “Regular Fellow,” the good mixer. Big, jovial, diplomatic and astute, he is a past master in guiding a wavering inclination just in | the direction in which he wants it to go. This faculty held the Roosevelt line in order during many a trying session at the recent conventior. All-Alaska News | there, bringing 30 men to Nenana | every night.
