Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Single Sheet, 20 X 16", Signed By Baker And Mccain. Henry Pinckney Mccain (1861-1941) Graduated From West Point And Was A Career Us Army Officer 1885-1918 Or Later. He Became Assistant Us Army Adjutant General In 1914, And Was Responsible For Setting Up The Draft In Wwi; He Is Known As T…he Father Of The Selective Service System. This Mccain Was A Distant Uncle Of Senator John Mccain, And Related To Many Us Army Officers Including John Mccain's Father And Grandfather Who Were The First Father And Son To Both Achieve The Rank Of Major General In The United States Army. Newton Diehl Baker Jr. (1871 1937) Was An American Lawyer, Georgist,[1] Politician, And Government Official. As U.S. Secretary Of War From 1916 To 1921, Baker Presided Over The United States Army During World War I. As Secretary Of War, Baker Presided Over The American Military Participation In The World War I In 1917 And 1918, Including The Creation Of A Nationwide Military Draft. Baker Selected Gen. John J. Pershing To Head The American Expeditionary Forces. At Baker's Insistence, Wilson Made The American Forces An Independent Fighting Partner Of The Allies Against The Central Powers, Rather Than Letting American Troops Be Used To Replenish British And French Forces As Those Nations Advised. At One Meeting With British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, Baker Told Him That "If We Want Advice As To Who Should Command Our Armies, We Would Ask For It. But Until Then We Do Not Want Nor Need It From Anyone, Least Of All You". He Was Occasionally Attacked By Military Professionals Who Thought Him Incompetent Or A Pacifist At Heart. He Said, "I'm So Much Of A Pacifist, I'm Willing To Fight For It". In 1918, Wilson Told Baker That He Hoped He Would Follow Him Into The White House In 1920. At The 1924 Democratic National Convention, During Discussion Of The Party Platform, Baker Was The Principal Advocate Of Language Committing The Party To American Membership In The League Of Nations. After Losing In The Platform Committee, Which Advocated A National Referendum On The Question, He Raised The Issue On The Floor Of The Convention. When His Allotted 20 Minutes Expired, The Crowd Roared For Him To Continue. After An Hour He Left The Lectern To A Tremendous Ovation. Speakers Who Tried To Argue Against Him Were Booed. Yet The Final Vote Went Against Him By A Margin Of More Than 2 To 1. According To A New York Times Editorial, "For A Moment That Vast Audience Was Lifted From Partisan Thoughts To Heights From Which It Could Have A Glimpse Of The Promised Land Of Peace. . Not Only Did Mr. Baker Do His Best, But He Made One Of The Best And Most Moving Speeches Heard Of Late In Any Political Meeting. " In 1928, President Coolidge Appointed Baker A Member Of The Permanent Court Of Arbitration Of The Hague, And He Was Reappointed To Another Six-Year Term By Roosevelt In 1935.[ In 1929, President Herbert Hoover Appointed Baker To The Wickersham Commission On Issues Relating To Law Enforcement, Criminal Activity, Police Brutality, And Prohibition. He Remained Active In Democratic Party Affairs And Was Considered As A Serious Prospect For The Democratic Nomination For President In 1932, When He Declined To Announce His Candidacy But Worked Behind The Scenes In The Hope Of Being Chosen If Franklin D. Roosevelt Failed To Win The Nomination.Baker Argued Before The U.S. Supreme Court As Counsel For The Property Owner In Village Of Euclid V. Ambler Realty Co., A Landmark Case That Established The Constitutionality Of Zoning Laws. Signed by Author(s).

There are a few glue marks to the edges of the photograph & its corners have been clipped, cutting off a few letters of the date. Good. Baker i…s photographed at head-and-shoulders length, wearing a dark pin-striped suit and tie and round glasses.Newton Diehl Baker [1871-1937] was an American lawyer, politician and government official. He served as the 37th mayor of Cleveland, Ohio from 1912-1915 and as U.S. Secretary of War under Woodrow Wilson from 1916 to 1921.The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.

The tattle tale publication of the [Cleveland, Ohio] City Club discloses your authorship of the [book] review of "Progress and the Constitution" which appeared in Time, and as a consequence the University of Virginia is at last going to get some royalties as Korner and Wood [Cleveland booksellers] tell me that you have added a substantial list to the lone purchaser who hitherto has been getting copies to distribute to his friends! Apart from this, my dear Munson, you have added to the illusion of scholarship about me which grew up years ago and of which I am all too unworthy. But these sins of generosity will all be counted in your favor on the Great Day, by the Recording Angel and they have already been rejoicingly welcomed by Yours affectionately, Newton. Mr Munson Havens". The letter shows a central horizontal fold from being mailed, very light tanning to the paper. Sold together only, a copy of the inscribed book and the autograph letter signed, regarding the review of this book. The book is very scarce as is ALS by Baker. Inscribed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerThis attorney and Democratic politician served as Cleveland mayor (1912-15) but most importantly as President Woodrow Wilson's influential Secretary of War (1916-21) during the tumultuous World War One years. TNS, 1p, 8" X 10¼", Washington, DC, 30 April 1920. Addressed to Joseph Cummings Chase (1891-1954). Very good. Lightly age… toned, with original folds. On "War Department" letterhead, Baker thanks this noted artist for "the copy of 'Soldiers All,' and keenly appreciate your kindness in sending it to me. It is a book which I shall treasure very highly and there will be many happy days when I shall refer to it and recall the friendships and stirring efforts of those whom you have so happily preserved for us." Boldly signed with his usual diminutive signature. Chase had been commissioned by the A.E.F. to paint portraits of commanding generals and hero doughboys, and these were published in the 1920 book "Soldiers All: Portraits and Sketches of the Men of the A.E.F." (New York: George H. Doran Company).

Contact seller5-star sellerThis attorney and Democratic politician served as Cleveland mayor (1912-15) but most importantly as President Woodrow Wilson's influential Secretary of War (1916-21) during the tumultuous World War One years. TDS (mimeograph), 6pp (rectos only), 8½" X 11", n.p., n.y. Very good. Lightly age toned; two original horizontal fold lin…es (not weakened); staple holes at upper left. Untitled typescript of a speech given by Baker, the first couple of lines reading simply: "THE HONORABLE NEWTON D. BAKER: Miss DeYoung, Senator Nye, Mr. Thomas, Ladies and Gentlemen: I think it is fair to say that the most profound preoccupation of the mind of America at this moment is the question of the preservation of peace." At top of this first leaf, Baker pens "Stenographic Report" at upper right in black ink. Baker gives a lengthy, thoughtful elaboration on the difficulty but necessity of maintaining worldwide peace in the face of "a new triumvirate -- Hitler, Trotzky and Japan," offering numerous historical allusions one would expect from a former Secretary of War. He stands up for the League of Nations, as he always did. We date this speech at mid-1930s, which is perhaps affirmed in the April 5, 1935 issue of "Spotlight," a publication of "Students of the Women's Division of Brooklyn College of the College of the City of New York," which reports that "Newton D. Baker has accepted an invitation to speak at an anti-war demonstration on October 4 at the University of .Minnesota" -- perhaps this is that very speech, though this is uncertain. After the speech's close on page six, Baker signs boldly in full. A quite unusual item, probably produced in an exceedingly small quantity and this probably the sole signed copy.
