Otha Wearin
Otha Donner Wearin (January 10, 1903 – April 3, 1990) was a writer and politician. Elected as the youngest member of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first "New Deal" Congress, his political career stalled in 1938 when he gave up his seat at Roosevelt's urging to run for a U.S. Senate seat held by another Democrat, Guy M. Gillette, but primary voters rallied behind Gillette.〔Edward W. Pickard, "Otha Wearin Beaten," Boyden Reporter, 1938-06-16, at 2.〕 He became a prolific writer, which led to his election to the Cowboy Hall of Fame.〔Obituary, (Otha D. Wearin; Politician and Writer, 87 ), New York Times, 1990-04-05.〕
==Personal background==
Wearin was born on a farm near Hastings, Iowa in Mills County and graduated from Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. While returning to Mills County to farm, the reputation he developed as a writer helped to jump-start his political career. He travelled to Europe to inspect their farming methods, which he described in articles printed in rural Iowa newspapers〔"English Ford Owners Pay High for Luxury," Mason City Globe-Gazette, 1928-03-21, at 17.〕 and published in his first book, "An Iowa Farmer Abroad." By age 25, a newspaper reported that he had already "gained prominence as a farm bureau speaker and writer in the past few years."〔"Three Congress Candidates Have No Rivals; Several Contests for Iowa Legislature Attract Attention," Waterloo Evening Courier, 1928-06-18, at 15.〕 Later that year he was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives as a Democrat,〔 even though his home county was a traditional Republican stronghold and the influence of native-son presidential candidate Herbert Hoover at the top of the Republican ticket led to Republican gains throughout Iowa. He served two terms in the Iowa House, winning re-election in 1930.〔Robert Hogan, "Wearin, Seeking Democratic Nod, Youngest Man in Race," Waterloo Daily Courier, 1950-05-21, at 3.〕
