Four years ngo tho Btnto of New York ottered to tho nation ns a prcalclenUnl ctuull dnto n governor who hntl boon born amid the poverty of Mnnlmttnn's East Sldo. grown up aa a iWrvboy On tho Bldcwnlkn of New York and worked at his flrt Job In tho smelly precincts of tho Pulton fish market. That governor, of couruc, was Alfred B. Smith. ' Today tho state of New York of fers for tho same high office another governor, who was born of one of the first families ot the state, reared In the lap ot luxury, cducntcd by pri vate tutors and at Harvard and whose wedding wm attended by a presi dent of the United Stales. ' Tho new candidate, of course, Is Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, now Serving his second two-year term at tho state cnpttol hero. Such Is the colorful contrast In tho Uvea of the Empire State's two most recent governors and between Whom until they broke Just re cently a Damon - nnd - t'ythlna friciidtihlp had existed since they en tered politics together In the New York legislature 30 years ago. 1 Fifty shears old, tall, broad-shouldered, deep-chested and blessed with a winning smite. Governor It owe volt Is one of the busiest men In Albany. His average day begins at B n. m. when ho wakes, breakfasts In bed and tho nevpacr8 arc brought to him to rend there. After going over his pci-Konnl mall with a stenographer, he dons n dress ing gown and rises to greet polltlrul associates. - At 10, he goes to tho state house nnd his round of appointment be gins. There is time out for lunch served at his dettk nnd then the cries of conferences Is resumed until A p. m. Ho goes home, swims for 15 minutes In a prlvnte pool that has been built In one of tho conwrvntorlcR of the executive mansion, takes n short nap and then dresses for dinner. There are nlwnys dinner guests from live to 35 In number. Alter dinner.' he rcntls the news iwpcrs. works on speeches, messages and pardon applications nnd thru plies Into bed to read detective stories until midnight. The story of the Huosevelts In New York meaning the governor's an cestors goes back to the ynir k When Cine Murtenren van Howe volt and his brotlu-rs came over from Hol land and settled along the Hudson river. From this line come President Theodore KooseveU, a fifth cousin ot the governor, nnd also the gov ernor's wile, formerly Miss Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a niece of tiie president and also Governor Roosevelt's sixth cousin. So It happened that when Ftnnk 11 n tX Roosevelt and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt were married at his father's fashionable New Yirk City home In 1905. President Rooevelt nttended the ceremony nnd gave away the bride. One of ,th,e bridesmaids wns Alice Roosevelt, now Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, "Well.' aald the famous Tvddy as be beamed on his distant cousin nnd bta young niece, "I'm glad you are replug the name In the tamtlv. any way !"

Amid wealth and plenty, tho boy grew to young manhood. Ho had French and German governesses and private tutors, spent his vacations nt his father's summer homo In Maine. i Tho governor's earliest recollection concerns a storm at sea whllo re turning from a visit to Europe with hlfa parents on the White Star liner Germanic. As Franklin Roosevelt grew older, ho spent several summers touring Europo on a bicycle with a privuto tutor. Later, ho went to Oroton, n fnsh lcnablo school for boys. In lOOOi ho entered Harvard at the nge of. 18. Ho played football on the freshman team, rowed with tho freshman crow nnd been me editor of tho Crimson. After ho wns graduated from Har vard In 1004 ho wns married the following March whllo attending Col umbia University law school. At the cloeo of the school year, he and his bride went to Europe on a belated honeymoon. In 1010, Roosevelt gave up the prnctlco of law to run for the state senate In his home district Ho cam pnlgned In an automobile, a novelty. In those, days, won the farmers on a platform that called, among other things, for standardised barrels, and wns elected. Roosevelt had hardly entered the legislature when ho begun his fam ous right agntnst "Blue-eyed Billy" Khrehnn. Uuflalo Democratic boss, who was Tammany Hall's candidate tor United States senator. Roosevelt charged Sheehan wns too close to "the interests." Defying Tammnny. he organised a filibuster whtch held out for many weeks and finally defeated Sheehan. In the legislature, Roosevelt met Al Smith, who had come up from New York as an assembly man nnd the long friendship between them begun. In March. 1013, President Wilson appointed Roosevelt assistant secre tary of the navy under Secretary JivM'phus Daniels. He held this post throughout the World war, handling most of the navy's huge purchases of supplies. He Is given credit lor the Idea that brought the North Sea mine barrage. a chain of mines 340 miles long laid to stop German submarines. In HtJO, Roosevelt wns nominated as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, made the cnmpatn;n with Cox and went down to defeat in the H.mtmg landslide. Leas than a year Inter In August lt31 Roosevelt suffered the great tragedy ot his life. He was spending his vacation at his summer home near CnmpobrUo. Me., nnd hc gone tor a swim. Returning, he sat down in his wet bathing suit to read his mall. That night he was taken ill. lly morning, he was paralysed from the hips down. Doctors pronounced It Infantile paralysis.

Ornclunlly, however, improvement came. He began to walk with the aid of leg braces nnd crutches, then a pair of cancfl. Today, ho Uses only one cane. Except for leaving him a cripple, the malady has not affected him. He is In excellent health today and 'as the resulC of a great doal of swim ming an exercise that the doctors prescribe he has a cheat -expansion greater than that of Jack Demp aey. Two years ago, life Insurance companies Issued him 660,000 In surance at the regular rate. In 1024, Roosevelt appeared on' crutches nt Madison Square Garden and made the speech that placed Al Smith's namo before the delegates. Four years later, leaning heavily on two canes, he did the same thing for hs old friend at Houston. In 1030, he had seconded Smith nnd Smith had seconded him for the vice presidential nomination at San Francisco, In 1038, when Smith was running for tho presidency, he drafted Roose velt to run for governor of New York.. After hesitating because of his physi cal condition, Roosevelt finally con sented. ' ' Ho won and two years lator he was elected for his second term, which will expire Jan. 1, 1033. So ends the story of the strange friendship of 30 years standing be tween the governor who came up from the sidewalks of New York via the Fulton fish market, nnd the gov enor who was born of one of the state's ; first families and came up through Harvard: ' " Dnmon and Pythias were never any closer than these two sons of wcnlUi' ' nnd poverty untn they pnrted friendship during the pres ent campaign which finds both of them seeking tho presidency.'
