Collectibles : Political : U.S. Presidential Etc : Republican : State & Local : Indiana

 

Leslie, a Republican, was elected as representative in the Indiana house for three terms and served five years in the body. He was its speaker in 1925 and 1927 before his election as governor in 1928. A blunt, simple man, Leslie had an unusual talent for friendships and as governor was known for his straightforward style of administration. His term as governor coincided with the beginning of the Great Depression, and among his efforts to ameliorate its effects a special legislative session was called in 1932 to reduce taxes and expenses of government. The times where particularly hard as the state was hit with drought and high unemployment.
