About This Item
Association Copy. Inscribed on front end page: For my old friend and comrade Lawrence Y. Sherman With affectionate regards Charles G. Dawes Oct 20th 1935
Note: Sherman was a U.S. Senator from Illinois from 1913-1921. Senator Sherman was one of the more colorful characters in the Senate. As one of the group of senators known as the "irreconcilables" or the "bitter-enders", Sherman opposed the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and of U.S. involvement in the League of Nations, and according to Historian Aaron Chandler, played a key role in its defeat. He characterized the treaty as "humanitarian in purpose, but impracticable in operation", and believed the league would be weak.
Laid in is original card stock invitation for the 50th Wedding Anniversary of the Dawes in Evanston in 1939.
Laid in is a lengthy letter from the housekeeper for Senator Sherman declining the invitation to attend the 50th Wedding Anniversary of the Dawes. The letter is fascinating and describes many details of the Senator's declining health. This includes a section of some of the interesting treatments for his ailments.
Laid in is an original review of the book published in January of 1936.
Clean text. Unclipped ($3.00). Protected by Brodart book jacket cover.
Dawes served as Vice President to President Calvin Coolidge. Dawes and Coolidge did not have a cordial relationship. Dawes declined to attend Cabinet meetings and annoyed Coolidge with his attack on the Senate filibuster. Dawes had championed a farm bill and pushed it through Congress, only to have Coolidge veto it. After Coolidge announced he would not run for reelection the GOP Convention picked Herbert Hoover as the nominee. Rumors circulated that Dawes would be the nominee for Vice President but Coolidge let it be know that to pick Dawes would be a personal insult to him. Dawes won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925.
Dawes commented at the end of his service as Vice President, "I should hate to think that the Senate was as tired of me at the beginning of my service as I am of the Senate at the end."
