HERBERT HOOVER, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, EARL WARREN, HUEY LONG and 45 OTHERS
A true political map signed by 49 politicians.
Political Map signed by Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Earl Warren, Huey Long and 45 state Governors, 1p, 26½x19½, mounted to 29½x22½ board. Rand McNally color map of the United States "For distribution through the Newspapers represented by Frederick J. Haskin" including, at the bottom, maps of possessions at the time: Alaska, Philippine Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Islands (Wake, Midway, Solomon, Guam, etc.), Porto (sic) Rico, Virgin Islands, Canal Zone and a close-up map of the District of Columbia. In addition to President Hoover, the map was signed by Governors of 48 states including New York (Franklin D. Roosevelt, future President), California (Earl Warren, future 1948 Republican VP candidate, Chief Justice) and Louisiana (Huey Long, assassinated demagogue). Most have either dated their signatures or written the years they were Governor. In 1931, 42 of the Governors (and President Hoover) were in office. Other signers (signing on or near his state): Governors Charles W. Bryan (1924 Democratic VP candidate, brother of William J. Bryan), George H. Dern (FDR's Secretary of War, 1933-1936), Harry H. Woodring (FDR's Secretary of War, 1936-1940), Frank G. Allen, Theodore G. Bilbo, C. Douglas Buck, Doyle E. Carleton, Norman S. Case, Henry S. Caulfield, Theodore Christianson, William G.

The mount is yellowed. Overall, an impressive assemblage of political leaders on a political map.
