About This Item
This famed California isolationist and progressive helped found the Progressive Party in 1912 and was chosen Theodore Roosevelt's running mate on that ticket in the 1912 presidential election; he served California as its 23rd governor (1911-17) and senator (1917-45). TNS, 1p, 8" X 10½", Washington, DC, 25 April 1919. Addressed to S.R. Gaines. Very good. Some offsetting (perhaps from long-ago newsprint contact), with faint age toning and minor edgewear. On "United States Senate / Committee on Military Affairs" letterhead, Johnson complies with an autograph request, signing large and bold in full. Accompanied by a superb original 8½" X 6½" glossy black-and-white news agency photograph , a closeup of cigar-chomping Johnson and another conferring. Newsprint text tipped to verso dates the image 9 July 1945, titles it "At Charter Hearing" and describes the scene: "At ratification hearing on the United Nations charter which opened today in Washington, Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cal., and Senator Tom Connally of Texas." Less than one month later -- on the same day the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima -- Johnson died.
