"The quintessential New York native, Alfred E. Smith had a long, noteworthy career in politics that began in a gritty ethnic neighborhood on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Born in 1873 to working class Anglo-Irish parents and educated in a neighborhood parochial school, Smith soon displayed an enthusiasm for politics. He joined the local Tammany organization in the mid-1890s and quickly became a regular speaker at many of its events. In 1904 Smith secured Tammany backing for a seat in the New York State Assembly and quickly developed a reputation as a moderate progressive. By 1913 his investigative work into the issues raised by the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire so enhanced his political standing that the Democrats in the Assembly elected him speaker."
