  • 2 Reawakening the “Rip Van Winkle Upstate Democracy”
    Reawakening the “Rip Van Winkle 2 Upstate Democracy” Tammany Hall boss Richard Croker once declared, “Up-State Demo- crats! Up-State Democrats! I didn’t know there was any up-State Democrats.” That was in the 1880s, when Croker and Tammany Hall were in rude health. In those days, there was little incentive for a New York City boss to concern himself with upstate affairs. Croker died in 1922 and never met Jim Farley, but we can assume that if he had, he would have been mightily surprised: not only was Farley living proof that there was at least one upstate Democrat, he was also the man who would show that, given the right candidate, conducive circumstances, effective campaigning, and a lot of hard work, suf‹cient upstate Democ- rats could be found—or made—to sweep the upstate counties, thus utterly transforming the politics of New York State.1 Farley’s role in the revival of the upstate party in the 1920s has been mentioned by historians and biographers of the Roosevelt era, notably Frank Freidel and James MacGregor Burns. But it has not been explored in any great depth. This chapter examines the organizational drive con- ducted by Farley, Roosevelt, and his advisors—its rationale, impact, and consequences—with a view to clarifying Farley’s role in the emergence of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a genuine presidential contender.2 By the late 1920s, Roosevelt had been talked about as a presidential possibility for a long time. He had picked up experience as Woodrow Wilson’s secretary for the navy, a post that his cousin Theodore had also occupied on his way to the White House; he had gained national expo- sure as a vice presidential candidate in 1920; he had been an active 29 30 Mr.

  • THE POLITICIAN Al Smith Was Fundamentally A
    THE POLITICIAN Al Smith was fundamentally a politician; subordinate only to his faith and family, politics dominated his life. 1 Smith was, furthermore, a talented and shrewd politician, possessing a combination of natural gifts and acquired skills that made him a master at his trade. His experience in New York politics constituted an education that actuated his behavior in national politics, and his achievements testified to his political proficiency. Smith possessed qualities common among successful politicians. He had a superb memory for faces and facts, an engaging manner, and a public personality that was widely recognized as a valuable asset. “If everyone in New York State had a personal acquaintance with Al Smith,” one Republican said, “there would be no votes on the other side.” Will Rogers underscored this point when he asserted that Smith could enter the strongest Klan town in the country, meet with the Klansmen there, and by the end of the week be elected “Honorary Grand Kleagle Dragon.” Smith, moreover, recognized the need to keep political fences mended. He became aware early in his Assembly career how he was expected to serve his constituents: a favor, a private bill, or a discreet intercession for someone in difficulty. Realizing that the machine legislator was really but an assistant to his district leader and that the organization was his device for contact with his constituents, Smith appeared with his leader at the Hall every weekend to be available to the district’s people. He made sure also that they could always reach him in times of immediate need.

  • A Brief History of the Albany Housing Authority
    From “Providing Housing” to “Building Communities”: A Brief History of the Albany Housing Authority Robert Briggs – Author Barry J. Romano - Editor 2 Introduction The broadly diverse fifty-six year history of the Albany Housing Authority has been shaped by the many phases of its existence. Some have echoed larger patterns in public housing that affected the country as a whole, while others have been unique in time and place. Its birth in 1946 came as a response to veterans’ needs for housing. Like many other agencies across the nation, it was involved in the construction of tower projects like the Thacher and Lincoln Park Homes. It is now actively involved in housing programs that focus on helping its residents become part of a community, as evidenced by the HOPE VI and Section 8 voucher programs. The Albany Housing Authority, or AHA, has also expanded its influence to include a variety of social service and outreach programs. It has tested its ingenuity and ability to adapt to housing needs in a unique situation. Across decades, the Albany Housing Authority has survived and matured into an organization that endeavors to promote a sense of community as well as effectively discharge its core duty of providing decent, safe, affordable housing. Early History and Historical Context Many people think of World War II as a time that tried the nation and tested its resourcefulness, patriotism, and courage. However, the years immediately following the war presented challenges of their own. Many returning soldiers faced a struggle to secure employment and housing. On August 1, 1945 the Federal Government’s Special Committee on Postwar Economic Policy and Planning released a small booklet entitled Postwar Housing,1 which emphasized the need for housing coordination to be focused on a local level.
