CWLK116-119 Series : Speeches 1917-1950
These files include copies of speeches given by Walker along with transcripts of
speeches given by his contemporaries. The subjects of Walker's speeches,
following the interests and activities of his career, include political campaigns, the
New Deal programs, the Post Office, World War II, the Catholic Church, and the
University of Notre Dame. The speeches were delivered to political rallies and
dinners, professional groups, gatherings he attended as Postmaster General, and
fundraising events of all kinds. A few were broadcast over the radio. Copies of
some of the speeches Walker gave as Postmaster General have been filed in the
Post Office Series.
The speeches are filed in two ways; some have been grouped together by date and
others have been filed separately and identified by topic or audience. Walker also
collected copies of speeches given during the 1940s by others, primarily
politicians, including Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, James
Farley, Harold Ickes, Henry Wallace, Cordell Hull, Fiorello LaGuardia, and
Thomas Dewey. Other speeches by Franklin Roosevelt have been filed in the
National Emergency Council Series.
