==Early life==
Pauline Sabin was a wealthy, elegant, socially prominent, and politically well-connected New Yorker. She was born Pauline Joy Morton, the daughter of Paul Morton and Charlotte Goodridge. Pauline’s family was very active in business and politics. Her uncle Joy Morton founded Morton Salt Company. Her grandfather Julius Sterling Morton had been a prominent Nebraska Democrat who served as Secretary of Agriculture under President Grover Cleveland, and her father had served as secretary of the navy to President Theodore Roosevelt. This later on helped spark her interest in politics. (Lerner, 192). Pauline’s education included private schooling; she attended school in Chicago and Washington before making her debut into society.〔
She married J. Hopkinson Smith, Jr., in 1907. The couple had two sons before divorcing in 1914.〔''New York Times'': ("Mrs. Charles H. Sabln Will Be Wed in May To Dwight Davis, Former Secretary of War," April 8, 1936 ), accessed May 29, 2011〕 After getting divorced; she owned her own interior decorating business.〔 In 1916 she married Charles H. Sabin, president of the Guaranty Trust Company〔''New York Times'': ("Dwight Davis Dies," November 29, 1945 ), accessed May 29, 2011〕 and treasurer of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment (AAPA). Despite the fact that her husband was a Democrat, Pauline remained loyal to being a Republican. She was very active in politics; she became the first member of the Suffolk County Republican Committee in 1919. She later on helped find the Women’s National Republican Club and became the president. From 1921-1926 she gained enormous recognition for recruiting thousands of members and for raising funds. She also was selected to be New York’s first woman representative on the Republican National Committee in 1923.〔
Before 1929, she favored small government and free markets. She initially supported prohibition, as she later explained: "I felt I should approve of it because it would help my two sons. The word-pictures of the agitators carried me away. I thought a world without liquor would be a beautiful world."Towards the 1920’s, however, Sabin realized that no one was taking Prohibition seriously.〔 She was growing increasingly disenchanted with prohibition but worked on behalf of Herbert Hoover in the election of 1928 despite his uncertain stand on the issue. In his inauguration speech he vowed to enforce anti-liquor legislation. After the enactment of the Jones-Stalker Act in May 1929 drastically increased penalties for the violation of prohibition, she resigned from the Republican National Committee and took up the cause of repealing prohibition.
