  • How a Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago
    Review Article Clinics in Surgery Published: 07 Jan, 2019 How A Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago Theodore N Pappas* Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham NC, North Carolina, USA Abstract On February 15 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was returning from a Florida fishing trip and passed through the Biscayne Park area of Miami to give a brief speech. The mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was in Florida on vacation and planned to meet the president-elect just after the speech. Moments after Cermak and Roosevelt shook hands, several shots were fired. A 32-year-old bricklayer, Giuseppe Zangara, was attempting to assassinate Roosevelt but missed and hit Cermak and four other bystanders. Cermak was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he died 19 days later. This manuscript reviews the health care provided to the mayor during those 19 days. Although the cause of death has been contested, Anton Cermak probably recovered from his gunshot wounds but died of complicated ulcerative colitis. Introduction On February 15 1933, president-elect, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), was returning from a fishing trip off Miami. He and his security detail were passing through the Biscayne Park area of Miami for an announced stop where he was to give a brief speech. At the same time the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was on vacation in Florida and wanted to meet with the president-elect. He contacted Roosevelt’s team and was instructed to wait at the grandstand area of the Bay front Park where the president-elect would be able to meet with the mayor.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

In this thesis, I focus on the development of the Chicago political machine in the 1920s and 1930s, with specific emphasis on the political career of Anton Cermak. The actions of Anton Cermak, coupled with the interests of the national Democratic party, allowed for the creation of a political machine that would define Chicago politics to the present day. My analysis also focuses on African-American voting behavior during the same period, with special attention paid to the party conversion of many African-Americans in the years following the 1931 mayoral election. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Of Men And Machines ............................................................................................1

The meeting convened at 8:33 a.m., CDT and adjourned at 4:43 p.m., CDT. *** CHAIRMAN HICKS: Good morning everyone, a couple quick things before we get started. One, we have a packed day-and-a-half of meetings. The microphones on the table all you need to do is press them once and then they will light up and go, but the audience, when you are speaking you need to hold down your microphone. So you need to press the button and continually hold it to be able to speak, okay? With that, I want to introduce Lance Gough and David Orr to come up and give a presentation on welcoming to Chicago. Unfortunately, the mayor was not able to make it but Lance and David are experts here in Chicago and are going to do a great job. I also want to thank you both for the wonderful tour that we got yesterday at the warehouse, it was absolutely phenomenal. So with that, come on up. MR. ORR: Good morning, it’s good to see a lot of old friends out here and some new friends, you know. Welcome to Chicago. Chicago, as you know, is the biggest city in Illinois and we have no budget, but we don’t care.
