Ads by Google      Al Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Smith was born to Irish Catholic immigrants and initially grew up in relative comfort on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, on Oliver Street, New York City, before he quit school and began work at the age of fourteen, after his father's death, who was a lorrie driver and veteran of the Civil War. Smith felt slighted by Roosevelt during Roosevelt's governorship. He lost the election of 1920 in the Republican landslide of that year, but was re-elected governor in 1922 and served three more terms. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Smith   (978 words)      Al Smith Smith was elected governor of New York for four terms (1919-20, 1923-28).

Smith Smith continued his political ascent by election as New York county sheriff in 1915 and president of the New York City board of aldermen in 1917. Smith was unable to generate much momentum behind a drive for renomination in 1932, losing out to former friend and ally Roosevelt. Smith, however, became deadlocked with a Southern candidate, William G. McAdoo, and the nomination eventually went to a compromise candidate, who lost decisively to Calvin Coolidge in the fall. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1495.html   (571 words)      Smith, Alfred E(manuel) Smith was the first Roman Catholic to receive serious consideration as a candidate for the presidency of the U.S. His religion, combined with his opposition to Prohibition, resulted in a prolonged deadlock with William G. McAdoo, the "dry" candidate, at the Democratic National Convention of 1924. Tammany Hall made him sheriff of New York County (1915), and in 1917 he was elected president of the Board of Aldermen of Greater New York. When his father died, young Smith interrupted his schooling and went to work for seven years at the Fulton fish market in New York City to help support his family. http://www.britannica.com/elections/micro/552/38.html   (429 words)      Bookselling This Week: Free Speech Advocate Opens the Book on Alfred E. Smith Smith, who dropped out of eighth grade to support his family when his father died, was New York's most progressive and popular governor, running a vigorous race for president against Herbert Hoover in 1928. Smith had thought that religious prejudice was a thing of the past, but what else could explain the loss of his own state or the defection of states in the South that had never supported a Republican? A Roman Catholic born in 1873 to second-generation immigrants (his mother was Irish; his father, German and Italian), he rose from the cramped tenements of Manhattan's Lower East Side to the Governor's mansion in Albany. http://news.bookweb.org/news/518.html   (1018 words)      MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Roosevelt Nominates Smith Franklin D.
