Connor, Ralph. (1860-1937). Popular Canadian novelist.

Autograph Inscription Signed by the Popular Canadian Novelist with Both His Pen Name Ralph Connor and His Given Name Charles W. Gordon.

Winnipeg, Canada: Circa [1930]. [1930]. Winnipeg, Canada: Circa [1930]. [1930]. Good. - A 7-1/4 inch high by 5-1/8 inch wide sheet of cream-colored paper has been inscribed and signed in black ink: "Seymour Halpern / with kind regards / Charles W. Gordon / Ralph Connor / Winnipeg, / Canada." There is a light vertical crease to the paper & its edges are slightly darkened with 3 small, light stains to the left edge. The left bottom corner is creased. Good.

Rev. Dr. Charles William Gordon [1860-1937] was a Canadian novelist, using the pen name Ralph Connor while maintaining his status as a church leader. Born in Ontario, he was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1890. He moved to Alberta and served in the Rocky Mountains until 1894. He then moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where he spent nearly 40 years as minister of St. Stephen's Presbyterian/United Church. A popular and successful author, he sold more than five miilion copies of his works during his lifetime, some of which are still in print.

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. Good .
