Description: Ohio Governor Martin L. Davey is shown on the day of his inauguration. The date possibly is January 14, 1935 (his first inauguration as the state's governor); he was re-elected in 1936. Although Davey was a Democrat, he opposed many of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs because they assumed control over programs previously administered by the state. As a result of Davey's opposition to Roosevelt's policies, the governor was charged with corruption by federal officials. He was investigated in 1937 but never charged with any crime; however, the stigma cost him politically. He lost his bid for re-election in 1938. View on Ohio Memory.
