Murderer Made Marshal!
In matters of appointments, FDR, like all presidents, had to trade to get what he wanted. Senator âCotton Edâ Smith from South Carolina was blocking the naming of Rex Tugwell as undersecretary of agriculture. The left-leaning Tugwell had been one of FDRâs original âBrain Trust.â Roosevelt won Smithâs consent by making one of his South Carolinaâs political lieutenants a U.S. marshal, despite the fact that he had once been convicted of homicide.
âRex,â FDR said the next time they saw each other, âwe got it for you, even though we had to make a murderer a marshal!â
