But there was Louis Howe to call
on. He responded and in the battle
that followed demonstrated his quail
ties by re-electing young Roosevelt,
campaigning for him by proxy. deter
mining himself almost every strategic
move even fashioning out of his own
head issues TO which he pledged his
man.
From then on. the political part
nership Of Roosevelt and Howe was
a fixed matter. never to be inter-
rupted while both lived. And 1t was
more than a partnership. it was a
friendship Of such depth and strength
that nothing short of death could
have severed it. To that friendship
and to the absolute conviction in his
own mind that one day Franklin
Roosevelt would be President. Howe
sacrificed every personal consideration.
AS they swung along together, step
by step. up and down, he came to
live more as a member of the Frank
lin Roosevelt family than of his own.
although he was himself a grand
father before that final step to the
White House was taken.
When Franklin Roosevelt was called
in the Wilson administration to carry
on the Roosevelt tradition in the AS
sistant Secretaryship at the Navy De-
partment. established by his Repub-
lican Nnsman, Howe came with him,
of course. 1t was Howe who ran de-
tails of that office, Howe who widened
his political horizon to span the Ma
tion instead OF the State. always with
an ultimate view of making another
Roosevelt President.
Untiring in Efforts.
Only few old timers at the Navy
Department recall Howe as of those
days. He was then the same spare,
retiring man he always remained. He
had no liking for the center Of the
stage; yet he worked for the inter-
ests of "the boss" untiringly back
stage. The intricacies of Government
business were soon clear to him.
His knack of reading men aided
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt vastly
in meeting difficult naval problems
that devolved upon his office. Howe
was his ambassador in manv a
strange bit of maneuvering on Navy
matters, whether to wheedle a way
around budgetary officers or to get
at the insides Of naval personnel
clashes. Yet no one except the
newspaper men covering the Navy
Department heard or saw much Of
Howe He dealt with them as a fell
low craftsman and his dealings did
no harm to the reputation and grow
ing prestige of Franklin Roosevelt.
Even back In those days Howe had
learned that what would be most
helpful to "the boss" would be a good
mo" man. Mr.. Roosevelt was young
and ardent. He had q tendency to
surge into action in support of a

he did prior to that convention, after
it in the gruelling campaign which
to him meant endless hours at the
New York national headquarters and
on the phone raking the whole Ma
ton by long distance, was done
against doctors warning. Howe knew
he was risking his life The knowl-
edge did not cause him to abate an
instant of his labor.
After Inauguration, Howe bobbed
up as figure in the news for a time.
He planned the new White House
organization with the aid Of Mac
Intyre and Early. but he reserved
for himself a rather indistinct back
ground post despite his title as secre-
tary to the President. The other two
dealt with callers and the press
Howe at first conferred regularly with
them, but as his health failed was
compelled to drop even that.
Then, early last year, his condition
became acute and death was expected
hourly for some time. He hung on
grimly, however, and had been in
Naval Hospital more than a year.
President RooSevelts first sharp
move after the banking crisis had
been dealt with was creation of the
Civilian Conservation Corps. When
Congress authorized that project. the
President turned it over to Howe to
get 1t going. 1t was Howe who
picked the men to do the actual work.
Appears Before Committee.
And in connection with equipment
OF the forestry cadets arose a Senate
investigation of the details of the
purchasing Of toilet kits. Before 1t
all simmered away into a finding that
no wrong-doing was involved, Howe
appeared in person before the COM
mittee to testify. 1t was the only
public appearance he made as Presi-
dents secretary, although for a time
he did radio comment every week
and he wrote number of magazine
articles.
A very ticklish business also turned
over to Howe by the President early
In the administration was the Sec
ond bonus march on Washington. In
view of what had happened during
the Hoover administration, it was a
difficult problem. Howe handled 1t
by getting the marchers down to a
nearby ungarrisoned Army post, feed
ing them and then enlarging the c.
c. c. to take In as many as desired.
The second bonus march dwindled
into a mere passing incident over
night under his management.
Whatever the President himself or
any other element Of his administra-
ton might do or say about thrusting
aside thoughts Of the 1886 campaign
IN the first two years Of the admin
istration, that was never out Of Louis
Howe's mind. He was essentially po-
litical secretary to the President in
that respect. He spent his time look
ing ahead, and often employing his
mo- man role to iron out comphca-
tions as to 1885 he thought some par
ticular current New Deal venture
might involve. As his health pro-
gressively failed, however. and he
never threw OF the physical effects
of the campaign strain. his orbit Of
activity became narrower and mar
rover. He rarely left his White
House room, saw few callers and
even limited his telephone activities.
His share of the normal routine Of
fee activities had been passed over
to his secretariat colleagues almost
entirely months before the end.

Howe
Continued From First Page)

Continued From First Page)
January Il. 1871, but it was q life
time spent in intimate observation Of
politics In New York State that fitted
him for the role he was to play. He
grew up in Saratoga. where New York
politicians we're won't to rally around
the allurements of that sport resort
in and out of season. His father ran
a paper there and the son drifted nat
urally into the business and ultimate
ly undertook the fathers additional
function of corresponding for great
New York dailies.
The substance of that correspond
ence was politics. From the outset of
his journalistic efforts young Howe
lived and breathed politics. There was
no intricacy Of up and downstate
New York politics unfamiliar to him;
no trick of the game he had not soon
heard Of He displayed so great a
fair for politics that more than 30
years ago he was picked by the old
New York Herald for Albany cor
respondent, job that was all poll
tics.
AS Democrat. and an upstate New
York Democrat at that, Howe watched
party maneuvering with a frosty eye
on Tammany and all its ways. He
also saw in the history Of the New
York governorship a route to the
White House pioneered by both Re-
publicans and Democrats; and spent
a decade in admiring observation Of
the career of Theodore Roosevelt.
Possibilities Seen.
When a young, eager, handsome
chap from Dutchess County bearing
that charmed name. yet Democrat,
made his way into the State Senate,
his coming was matter Of very spe-
cial interest to Howe. He saw posi-
hilities in it that young Franklin
Roosevelt himself then might well
have laughed at. Day by day, Howe. 10
years older than the young State Sen
ator, watched his political evolution,
noted the special charm he seemed to
exercise over many of his legislative
colleagues, observed his course in
legislative crisis and adjudged him
able and courageous. An intimacy
sprang up that was to ripen in time
into such a friendship as rarely has
figured in American political history.
Then came the first Roosevelt set
back. On the eve of his reelection
campaign, the young Senator was
stricken with typhoid fever. His orig
inal election as a Democrat from an
inherently Republican region had
been something of an accident. With
the candidate himself out of the pic
ture, his reelection seemed impossible.
