It motivated the genial, sympathetic qualities typified by his famous campaign smile and the ringing timbre of his fine voice. Ho eschewed the social distinction to which he was born and the pros pects of a comparatively placid life as a big city lawyer of independent means, choosing instead, to follow an ideal of public service. Not even tthe tremendous physical handicap imposed by infantile , par-, aysla which, in J921, deprived him of his powers of locomotion, ) could turn him. from that course. r Won First Office at 28 Ho 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 hacl sent a member of hlB party to Albany. That had happened in 1882 and Roosevelt was born January .30 . of that year, at Hyde Park. Thero a big estate flanking the Albany .Post Boad and overlooking the nm -embraced Hudson had been the seat or his family since the iirst part of the 18th century. It is still his home. 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 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, 1305, he married Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, a fifth coiisin. A place with one of the big law firms of New York was reacHy for him on graduation, but after three years as a junior attorney he quit this work to go into politics. In the first ten years he worked from -the state senate to n 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 RooseveH ship had sailed swiftJy and surely before favor ing winds. An uncharted reef changed all this, Thero is a Roosevelt summer homo a-t Campobollo, New Brunswlcn. There the family of father, mother, daughter and four sons were wont to pass the hot weeks of mid-st 'mmer swimming, fishing and cruising about the coast in sail or motor bo it, Roosevelt came out of the cold surf oite day in the summer of 1921 ftellng n bit chilled. Ntriefeew Wifii Infuflltie Jtoralyftbs A few days iater lie was iUicken with infantile paralysis. For a time his life was endangered. Then he came slowly back, but the disease 3ifid left him without usa of hislimbs. ' For the next seven years virtually all hia time was occupied In light ing to regain his ability to walk. By the time of the 1934 Democratic convention in Mnriison Square Garden the stricken Roosevelt was able to go to the platrorm on crutches, stand leaning against a desk and present the name of Alfred E. Smith, "the happy warrior." Warm Springs, Georgia, It was found, benefited him and 'ho spent months there each year. Gradually the Atrophia muscles responded to constant effort at use, chiefly to regaining a complete swimming stroke in the warm pool. When the 1928 convention assembled 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. Bmlfch In Hew York, wanted a strong gubernatorial candidate 3a help the titkat in ills .pivotal home state. The suggestion that Roosevelt run wra sent to Georgia, , : . Khvlrd iieveraor of New York " Mrs. Roosevelt hurried north, met fcfcfe party leaders and announced that her husband, bcoaaso the campaign effort might set back his fight for physical restoration, did not want the place. Party leaders .called him on long distance telephone to urge him to rm one ot them, thinking to tmcarago lum, said: ' "There is every likelihood that you wilt be elected. . X. "Yes,1 replied the reluctant candidate, "that's the h- of It," But he yielded to the pleas of party necessity, ran 125r000 'votes ahead of the national itlcket and squoeaed into the governor's office. Two years late? lie was .returned by the record plurality of 725,001 votes. After that jk "stop Eoosevelt" movement could stay his progress to the White House. - .
