CHAN IN BIO
LAND OF 6 GUNS
The waters had barely calmed
when Dickinson delivered another
broadside and mentioned a 1933
radio address by Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the President’s wife, as
having contained a formula that
permitted young women to drink
without becoming intoxicated. The
Governor was unmoved by the storm
of comment.
Believed in Public Prayer
He was a Methodist Sunday school
teacher unafraid to pray in public.
He invited others to Join him in
public prayer and take advantage of
what he called his "pipeline to
God."
Born in Niagara County, New
York, on April 15, 1859, he went
to Michigan as a baby, grew up
on a farm near Charlotte and went
to rural schools. He taught school
for 19 winters.
He entered the legislature inl896.
He had been Lieutenant-Governor
eight times and automatically be
came chief executive through the
death of Governor Frank D. Fitz
gerald, a fellow Republican.
At the 1909 session of the legis
lature, he sponsored the State’s first
“search and seizure" act, which fig
ured prominently in the effort to
enforce the pre-prohibition era dry
law.
Good Vote Getter
His accession to the Governorship
in March, 1939, left party leaders
disconcerted. As the running mate
of a candidate for governor, Dick -
inson always had been “a good vote
getter,” because “even his enemies
liked him.” As chief executive of
the State, however, he was an un
known quantity. He was nearly 80
years old; he had made no cam- i
paign and no promises.
Many were confident Dickinson
would resign in a few weeks but he
did nothing of the kind. He seemed
to thrive upon the job.
He was married in 1888 to Zora
D. Cooley. They had one adopted
daughter . He lived in a inodeet
yellow frame house on a farm whjc4
he inherited from his father. Mrs.
Dickinson was 74 years old when ft<*
husband became Governor. Because
of 111-health she rarely was seen ii\
the capitol building.
