(PRESIDENTS.) Vote Against Schlosser! Vote Against Yale! . . . Vote for Roosevelt for the Senate. Letterpress broadside, 16½ x 10¾ inches; horizontal fold, moderate wear and toning, paper clip stain, mount remnant along top edge, unrelated pencil plat map on verso. No place, [1910] A poster from FDR's first political campaign in 1910. He was an unknown 28-year-old Wall Street lawyer when asked to run for a New York State Senate seat on the strength of his distant cousin Theodore Roosevelt's name. He won the seat after a strong anti-corruption campaign. This broadside implores that "Putnam County needs a clean sweep and New Men at Old Albany. . . . Progressive men are wanted to clean conditions in Legislature."
