A popular young man in his neighborhood—the old first as-' |sembly district—Smith caught the |eye of Tom Foley, Tammany leader, and there began a friendship that was to carry Smith far and to last until Foley died in 1924. i Assembly His “College” In 1903, at Foley’s desire, Smith was nominated as assemblyman from his district. He served 12 years in the lower house of the state legislature at Albany, be- |coming Democratic leader in 1911 land speaker in 1913. In later life [he characterized his years in the |assembly as “my high school and |my college.” | He was one of the outstanding figures in the state constitutional convention in 1915, and the same year was elected sheriff of New | York county. | Ineligible by law to succeed him- iself as sheriff, Tammany Hall put him forth as a candidate for presi- jdent of the board of aldermen— | Smith’s first political venture be- | yond Manhattan. He polled a tre-| | mendous vote in the city-wide elec- |tions in all the five boroughs of | ‘: Greater New York. | | vote-getting power, ran him for governor in 1918. Smith defeated | Governor Charles S. Whitman with 'the same ease with which he gar-| ‘nered the vote of his old first dis- | | trict for the assembly. | | Smith's first political defeat fol-| lowed two years later, when Na-' {than L. Miller was carried inwéwen known here. Mrs. Franks is! |employed at Yvonne's women'’s ap- | office as governor on the Harding ilandslide after eight years of na- | tional Democratic administration. | Retires | Announcing his retirement from | | public life after this set-back Smith became chairman of the board of | directors of the United States| Trucking Corporation. In the en-; suing two years, however, he wns" |drawn again into politics when | William Randolph Hearst began exerting a powerful influence over | New York state Democracy and an- | nounced his intention of being a candidate for governor. By 1922 party leaders were reudyi |to patch up their differences with | Hearst, but Smith would have none | of it. Spurning offers to run with| Hearst as the Democratic candi- date for the United States Senate— or to let Hearst have the senate and he run for governor—Smith| announced himself a candidate for governor and opposed Hearst for any place at all on the ticket. Second Retirement In 1928 Smith dominated the state Demo- Hearst’s candidacy collapsed, he dominated the nominations, too. He compromised ot the extent of agreeing upon one of Hearst’s lieu- tenants, Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health commissioner of New York {City, as the candidate for the fed- eral senate. In the election, Smith turned the tables on Governor Miller. He and Copeland were given office by sev- eral hundred thousand majority. Smith's other gubernatorial vic- tories were won over Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., in 1924, and Ogden L. Mills in 1926. As the Democratic candidate for President in 1928, Smith made his 21st and last campaign for public office. After his defeat he accepted the presidency of the Empire State Building Corporation and superin- tended the construction of the world's highest building. Assumes Directorates In ensuing years, Smith branched out into business life and assumed directorates on a dozen or more boards. As a director of the New York Life Insurance Company, he nominated as a fellow director in lin Tenakee, “I'm a Harvard man,” contributed Assemblyman Fred Hammond. Smith, the lone voice from ' the Democratic side, then declared: “It doesn’t mean anything to me, either, because I'm an F. F. M. man.” “What's that, Al?” shouted an ssemblyman. “Fulton Fish Market! on with the debate.” Smith, however, had the satis- faction of holding the honorary Let's get degree of LL.D. from two univer-| sities and one college. The New York City institution of Fordham and Columbia universities and Manhattan College each made him doctor of laws and in the citation at Columbia President Nicholas Murray Butler described Smith as “trained in the hard school many-sided and cosmopolitan life; alert, public and constantly speaking the true voice of the people.” Smith married Miss Catherine A. Dunn of the Bronx on May 6, 1900. They had three sons and daughters. MRS.
