Biographical/Historical Note
Joseph Taylor Robinson (1872-1933) was born near Lonoke, Arkansas, in 1872. He was a United States representative from 1903 to 1913, governor of Arkansas from January to March 1913, and United States senator from March 1913 until his death on July 14, 1937. Robinson was the vice-presidential nominee on the Democratic ticket with Alfred E. Smith in 1928. He served as minority leader of the Senate from 1922 until Franklin Roosevelt, with whom he was closely allied, became president in March 1933. At that time Robinson became Senate majority leader, a post he held until he died.
