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 is 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.…

This 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).…

This 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 lines (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. …
