Howe, Louis M(cHenry)

    0.04 sec.

Howe, Louis M(cHenry) (1871-1936)

US presidential adviser who ran Franklin D Roosevelt's state senate campaign in 1912, thereafter serving as his secretary 1913-35. He is credited with convincing Roosevelt to remain in politics after polio crippled him in 1921, training Eleanor Roosevelt to campaign, and devising the strategy for his gubernatorial races. When Roosevelt assumed the presidency, Howe continued to be one of the most intimate advisers with influence exceeding his job title of White House secretary.

He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and was a brilliant, chronically ill New York journalist.
