ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. (1882-1945), President. Autograph sentiment signed ("Franklin D. Roosevelt"), as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Washington, May 1920. 1 page, 8vo, 5 x 9 in., with photo of FDR. A YOUNG ROOSEVELT REFLECTS ON LINCOLN: "As the years go by the inspiration of Lincoln becomes of greater influence on the new generation of Americans." As a leading member of that new generation, Roosevelt by 1920 had already focused his ambitions on becoming one of Lincoln's successors. Later that year, he would wage his first campaign for nation-wide office, running as the democratic vice-presidential candidate alongside Ohio governor James Cox.
