Upon graduation (1891) from Columbia law school, he began law practice in New York City and became active in Republican politics. He left the party with Theodore Roosevelt (1912) to found the National Progressive party. During World War I he served on the U.S. Shipping Board and he became (Mar., 1920) Secretary of State in President Wilson's cabinet.
