Green, Warren Everett (1869-1945). Governor of South Dakota. - Typed Note Signed by South Dakota Governor Warren Green.

Title: Typed Note Signed by South Dakota Governor Warren Green.
Description: Pierre, South Dakota, January 23, 1931. 1931. - Over 23 words typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "Executive Department / State of South Dakota" stationery with the state's pictorial seal at top left. Responding to the young Seymour Halpern, Green writes "Your letter with the map enclosed is being returned with my autograph, as requested. You have a very interesting idea". Signed "Warren Green". Folded for mailing with a tiny chip to the bottom right corner and some very minor creases to the edges. Very good. The map is not present. A Republican from South Dakota, Warren Everett Green (1869-1945) served as Governor of the state from 1931 to 1933. The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Very good .
