Item Description
First is "Roosevelt Democratic Candidates Stand By The President" 1934 Pennsylvania poster. 12.5x19". Illustration has artist name and ©1933. Printed by Exhibitors Program Co. of Pittsburgh. Tiny trace of handling wear, o/w bright and clean. Next is 16x21" rwb "Roosevelt Davey Club Of Ohio" 1936 poster. Deco graphics with eagle at lower center. Text at bottom reads " E.G. Seivel, State Director Of Clubs - Francis W. Poulson, State Chairman, Columbus, Ohio." 1/8" hole at vertical center fold. Light handling wear, o/w bright, clean and Fine. Next is "Roosevelt - Farley Delegates" 1940 poster measuring 14x22". This cardboard. Text at top reads "Endorsed Officially By The Statewide Democratic Conference Held At Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin And Approved By C.E. Broughton, Democratic National Committeeman." Caption below FDR reads "President Franklin D. Roosevelt For Re-Nomination." As the 1940 convention grew nearer, FDR refused to publicly seek a third term, only indicating that he could not decline the nomination if his supporters drafted him at the 1940 convention. Farley (Chairman of the DNC) was left w/o a legitimate candidate. Roosevelt would publically support Cordell Hull after privately telling Farley and others they could seek the nomination. These Wisconsin delegates were campaigning to draft Roosevelt as the Democratic nominee yet supported Farley in the event that FDR did not get the nomination. Small text at bottom of this poster reads "Authorized, Circulated And Paid For By The Official Endorsed Roosevelt/Farley Campaign Club, Frank J. Kuhl, Chairman, Milwaukee Wisconsin." This is a pre-national convention poster. Roosevelt did accept the nomination much to Farley’s disappointment who resigned his position as Postmaster General and party chairman because of it. Staple holes in all four corners. Trace of aging in upper portion. An interesting/important poster. Displays VF. Scarce trio.
