| abstract | - Louis McHenry Howe (January 14, 1871 – April 18, 1936) was an American journalist best known for acting as an early political adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Howe was born in Indiana and raised in Saratoga, New York, Howe was a freelancer for the New York Herald for a time, before becoming a political operative in the early 20th Century. He met Franklin Roosevelt in 1909, serving more or less as Roosevelt's aide for the remainder of Howe's life. After Roosevelt contracted polio in 1921, resulting in partial paralysis, Howe became Roosevelt's public representative, keeping his political career alive during his recovery. He arranged Roosevelt's 1924 "Happy Warrior" Democratic Convention speech endorsing Al Smith, that returned FDR to the public eye, and helped to run Roosevelt's narrowly successful 1928 campaign to become Governor of New York. Howe then spent the next four years laying the groundwork for Roosevelt's landslide 1932 presidential victory. Named Roosevelt's secretary, Howe helped the president to shape the early programs of the New Deal, particularly the Civilian Conservation Corps. Howe grew ill shortly after Roosevelt's election, and died before the end of his first term.
