Y., Nov. 4.—The will to conquer made Franklin Delano Roosevelt a candidate for the presidency. It made him militant in politics. It motivated the genial, sympathetic votes outside party lines. It developed his ability to win qualities typified by his famous campaign smile and the ringing timbre of his fine voice. He eschewed the social distinction to which he was born and the prospects of a comparatively placid life as a big city lawyer of in- dependent means, choosing instead vice. to follow an ideal of public ser- Not even the trmendous physical handicap imposed by infantile paralysis which, in 1921, deprived could turn him from. that course. him of his powers of locomotion, 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. It was just that many years since the voters. of. his native community had sent a member of his-party’to Albany, That had was born January 30 of that year, happened in°1882 and Roosevelt at Hyde Park. There a big estate flanking the Albany Post Road and over- Samuel Insull looking the hill-embraced Hudson had been the seat of his family since the first part of the 18th century. It is still his home, The parents of the democratic nominee 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 arf ghe 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, 1905, 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 quit this work to go into politics, In the next ten years he worked from the state senate te a place in the national councils of his party. He was assistant secre- tary of the navy, in the World War and vice-presidential nominee in 1920» Thus far the Roosevelt ship had sailed swiftly and surely before favoring winds. An uncharted veef changed all this. Arrested Today In Athens, Greece; To Be Returned To U. S. Former Utilities Operator Held On Request Made!

Roosevelt came out of the celd surf one day in the summer of 1921 feeling a bit chilled. Stricken With Infantile Paralysis A few days later he was stricken with infantile paralysis. For a time his life was endangered. Then he came slowly iback, but the disease had left him without use of his. limbs, For the next seven years virtually all hig time was occupied in fighting to regain his ability to walk. By the time of the 1924 » democratic convention in Madison Square Garden the stricken Roose- velt was able to go to the platform on crutches, stand leaning against a desk and present the name of Alfred E. Smith, “the happy war- rior.” ~Warmi Springs; Georgia, it was’ found, benefited him and he spent months there each year.

When the 1928 convention as- sembled at Houston, Roosevelt again was on hand to nominate Al Smith as party standard-bearer and this time the nomination went through. Roosevelt went back to Warm Springs. Smith, in New York, wanted a strong gubernatorial candidate to help the ticket in his pivotal home state. The suggestion that Roosevelt run was sent to Georgia. Elected Governor Of New York Mrs. Roosevelt hurried south, met the party leaders and sn- nounced that her husband, because the campaign effort might set back his fight for physical restoration, did not want the place, Party leaders called him on long distanez telephone to urge him to run and one of them, thinking to encourage him, said; “There is evety likelihood that you will be elected.” , “Yes,” replied the reluctant candidate, “that’s the h of it.” But he yielded to the pleas of party necessity, ran 125,000 votes ahead of the national ticket and squeézed into the governdr’s’ of- fice. Two years later he was returned by the record plurality of 725,001 votes. Democratic Rally At Park Grounds Outstanding Success; Spectacular Lacsaacicene ecto!
