He eschewed the sccial distinction to which he was born and the prospects of a comparatively placid life as a big city lawyer of inde- pendent means. choosing instead to follow an ideal of public service. Not even the tremendous physical handicap imposed by infantile paralysis which, in 1921, deprived him of his powers of locomotion, could turn him from that course. Won First Office at 28 He was only 28 when he won his first office, a seat in the State Senate of New York from Dutchess County.

The parents of the President-Elect were James Roosevelt, a fourth cousin of the 26th President, and Sara Delano Roosevelt, member of a family which had a firm place among New York's socially elect. Franklin’s educational program of Groton School, Harvard and the law school of Columbia was in consonance with the family position Wed to Fifth Cousin Toward the end of his first year in law school, on March 17, 11905, he married Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, a fifth cousin. A place with !one of the big law firms of New York was ready for him on graduation, but after three years as a junior attorney he qult this work to go into politics. In the next ten years he worked from the sw.e Senate to a place in the national councils of his party. He was Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the World War and Vice-Presidential nominee in 1920. The Harding landslide marked the end of this decade. Thus far the Roosevelt ship had sailed swiftly and surely before favoring winds. An uncharted reef changed all this.

Party leaders called him on long distance telephone to urge him to run and one of them, thinking to encourage him, said: “There is every likelihood that you will be elected.” “Yes,” replied the reluctant, candidate, “that's the h— of it.” But he yielded to the plea of party necessity, ran 125,000 votes - ahead of the nagional tickst and squeezed into the Governor's office.
