ROOSEVELT, FRANKLIN DELANO
Photograph Inscribed as Governor of NY, in margin and signed "For my friend Tom Burchill from Franklin D Roosevelt" with 11 other signatures from the "Turkey" Cabinet and with title "Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and His "Turkey" Cabinet 1932". Framed, 13 1/2 x 15 1/4 inches.
Samuel Rosenman in his memoir, Working with Roosevelt (New York: 1952), states that Governor Roosevelt felt there was not enough contact between the third floor (where the New York State Assembly and Senate met) and the second floor (where the Executive Chamber was located). "They don't understand what I am trying to do", he complained to Rosenman. As a result, the Governor arranged to have the Democratic leaders in each house meet with him at the Executive Mansion each Monday during the legislative sessions to go over the program for the week. Because the main dish at the first few luncheons was roast turkey, the group came to be known as the "Turkey Cabinet".
