In 1901, he was elected to Cleveland City Council, Ohio as a Republican. During his tenure, he became a key advisor to Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland at that time. He ran for reelection as an independent, but lost. In 1904, he married Marie Jenney. He studied law at Miami University in Ohio. On 27 July 1933, George N. Peek, head of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration appointed Howe as the head of the Consumers' Counsel.〔http://spartacus-educational.com/Frederic_C_Howe.htm〕 Howe associated with other left-wing members of the Roosevelt administration. Rexford Tugwell claimed that Howe was "the subject of vitriolic attacks by the business interests" and was "pictured as a Red".〔Rexford Tugwell, Roosevelt's Revolution (1977) page 355〕 Chester R. Davis now decided to get rid of Howe. He later recalled: "Fred Howe was a man of high ideals and very practical sense. He was the 'turn the other cheek' type. He was a well-meaning man who permitted his organization to be loaded down with a group of people who were more concerned with stirring up discontent than they were with achieving the objectives of the act." 〔Chester R. Davis, Reminiscences (1953) page 313〕 Frederic Clemson Howe is buried in Meadville, Pennsylvania. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederic C. Howe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
