Biographical/Historical Note
Edwin Frederick Jaeckle, (1894–1992) was a Republican politician and party chairman in New York State. He was born in Buffalo, New York. During his Chairmanship of the state Republican party in the 1930s, he advanced party discipline to a previously unachieved level, resulting in a dramatic change of the GOP statewide.
He was responsible for selecting a New York City District Attorney, Thomas E. Dewey, as the party's candidate for the New York governorship. Dewey won and went on to two unsuccessful runs for the White House in the 1940s. Jaeckle was the campaign chairman of the first run.
"Without Mr. Jaeckle's early support," the New York Times noted in 1992, "Dewey might never have served three terms as Governor of New York or made two runs for President." (NYT May 16, 1992) "I was not Dewey's man," Jaeckle recalled in an interview. "Nor was he mine. Events brought us together. We were a very strong combination. There was a mutual respect. I was like a trainer with a good horse." (NYT May 16, 1992)
Jaeckle began his political career at the end of World War I and was elected Erie County Republican Chairman in 1935, a post he held until 1948. At that time he resigned to help Dewey run his presidential campaign. In 1940, he was elected Republican state chairman.
He graduated in 1915 from the University of Buffalo Law School. He was a successful lawyer and was a partner of the Jaeckle, Fleischman, & Mugel law firm in Buffalo, NY.
Mr. Jaeckle died May 14, 1992 in Florida.
Scope and Content
This collection contains correspondence and printed material on Jaeckle's political career locally in the Buffalo area; then statewide as NY State Chairman of the Republican Party and then on a national level; running Governor Dewey's campaign for the presidency.
