This Republican politician was the only Kansas governor (1947-50) to also serve in the House of Representatives (1935-47) and the Senate (1950-69). Item #29953
DS, 1p, irregular 7½" X 17", n.p. [Washington, DC], 1952 February 8. Very good. Evenly age toned throughout, with couple of small scotch tape stains. Clipped from the "Congressional Record -- Appendix" of February 18, 1952, this is the text of a patriotic speech titled "Lincoln Day Address by Hon. Frank Carlson, of Kansas," delivered by Carlson in Brooklyn, New York, on February 18, 1952, and is boldly signed at the top across the title along with "U.S. Senate / Kansas" in black fountain pen. The title, introduction and beginning of the opening paragraph began on one page of this publication (a piece 2½" X 3½"), while the vast bulk of the speech appears on both sides of a single leaf (A931 and A932) and several brief closing paragraphs run on another page (a piece 2½" X 3"); these two small snippets have been neatly affixed at the start and finish so that the speech is presented as a single (if odd shaped) sheet, with text front and back. From the collection of noted Lincoln scholar ARNOLD F. GATES (1914-93).
