ALBANS.-N. Y. IP) The will to
conquer made Franklin Delano Roose
Telt president-elect of the United
States.
It made him militant in politics.
It developed hla ability to win votes
outelde party line. It motivated the
genial, sympathetic qualities typifl
f ed 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 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 the tremendous physical
handicap Imposed by Infantile paral
ysis, which In 1921 deprived- him of
his powers of locomotion, could turn
him from that course.
Won First OfHce at 28.
He was only 28 when he won his
first office, a seat In the state senate
of New York from Dutchess county.
Jt was Just that many years since
the voters of his native community
had sent a member of his party to
Albany. That had happened In 1882
and Roosevelt was born January 30
of that year, at Hyde Park.
There a big estate flanking the
Albany post road and overlooking the
hill-embraced Hudson had been the
seat of ,hla family since the first
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 De
lano Roosevelt, member of a family
which had a firm place among New
York's socially elect. Franklin's edu
cational program of Groton school.
Harvard and the law schol of Co
lumbia was In consonance with the
family 'position.
Wed to Fifth Cousin.
Toward the end of his first year
In law school, on March 17, 1605, 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, jut
after three years as a junior attor
ney he quit this work to go Into
politics. '
In the next ten years he worked
from the state senate to a place In
the national councils of his party.
He was alstant 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 Roosevelt ship had
sailed swiftly and surely before fav
oring winds. An uncharted reef
changed all this.
There is a Roosevelt summer home
V at Campobello, New Brunswick. There
the family of father, mother, daugh
ter and four sons were wont to pass
the hot weeks of mid-summer, swim
ming, fishing and cruising about the
coast In sail or motor boat. Roose
velt came out of the cold 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 back, but the disease
had left him without u of his
limbs. !
For the next seven years virtually
all his time was occupied In fight
ing to regain his ability to walk. By
the time of the 1924 Democratic con
vention In Madison Square Garden,
the stricken Roosevelt was able to
go to the platform on crutches, stand
leaning against a desk and present
the name of Alf-.ed E. Smith, "the
happy warrior."
Warm Springs, ' Georgia, It was
found, benefited him and he spent
months there each year. Gradually
the atrophied muscles responded to
constant effort to use, chiefly to re
gaining a complete swimming stroke
in the warm pool. When the 1928
convention assembled at Houston,
R-cKvfeevelt again was on hand to nom
inate Al Smith as party standard
bearer and this time the nomlnat'on
went through.
Roosevelt went back to Warm
Springs. Smith, in New York, want
ed a strong gubernatorial candidate
to help the ticket In hie pivotal home
state. The suggestion that Roosevelt
run was sent to Georgia.
Elected Governor of New York.
Mrs. Roosevelt hurried north, met
the party leaders and announced that
her husband, because the campaign
effort might aef back his fight for
physical restoration, did not want
the place. Party leaders called him
on long distance telephone to urge
him to run, and one of them, think
ing to encourage him. said:
"There Is every likelihood that you
' will be elected."
"Yes." replied the reluctant candi
date, "thata the h of it!"
After that no "stop Roosevelt"
movement could stay his progress to
the White House.
