Henry Agard Wallace (October 7, 1888 – November 18, 1965), an Iowan, was the 33rd Vice President of the United States (1941–5), the 11th Secretary of Agriculture (1933–40), and the 10th Secretary of Commerce (1945–6). A staunchly liberal person who had regarded Russian artist Nicholas Roerich as a "guru" in the 1930s, Wallace was removed from the ticket in 1944 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt under pressure from more conservative Democrats. Wallace himself was the Progressive Party and American Labor Party's nominee for the presidency in 1948. He carried fourth place in the election by carrying over a million popular votes but carried no electoral votes.

- Henry Wallace, VP under FDR from 1941-1945. Got the boot in favor of Real American and Manly man Harry Truman when FDR ran for his final term. Wallace later made his own run for President as a Progressive Party candidate, but obviously lost because we don't elect Communists in this country. Then he went back to his farm and got famous for breeding chickens or growing wheat or something. What a moroon. "The Century of the Common Man" TEXT OF SPEECH: The fourth duty is that which inspires the other three. (May 8, 1942)
