Portraits reveal Nicholas Longworth, 61, stricken by pneumonia in Aiken. The Cincinnati representative and wife Princess Alice Roosevelt are pictured over the years, including presiding over the House, with daughter Paulina, and social scenes. Longworth, once allies with Hoover on many party plans, often opposed the president’s policies when majority Republicans disagreed. He left the chair five times to address the House and supported veterans legislation and Navy bills.
