Jeff Newberry was a West Virginia manufacturer and wholesaler who was an at large delegate at the 1920 Democratic Convention, a convention that nominated James M. Cox for president and Roosevelt for vice president. That ticket lost.
In 1932, the Democrats saw a real chance for victory, and Newberry saw that in FDR. Typed Letter Signed, on letterhead of the State of New York Executive Chamber, Albany, February 15, 1932 to Newberry of Huntington, West Virginia, the letter marked “Personal” in his hand, thanking him for his promised support in the upcoming presidential campaign, and more importantly, setting out the requirement that the nominee must be progressive. “Thank you most heartily for your expression of approval and support. It is good to know that citizens of other states approve so highly of what I have tried to do in my own that they wish to see me as the Party standard bearer in the coming campaign. Whoever may be the candidate, he must be a progressive leader, behind whom we can all unite to help the country return to sound democratic principles of representative government. That is the important thing. With cordial personal regards.”
Roosevelt was nominated in early July 1932, and elected in November. He turned out to be the most progressive president the country has ever had.
