The 10 years of his administrations are unexcelled in the annals of New York State. Senator Lehman will be remembered as the voice of liberalism in the Senate during the hysteria of the 1950s. A courageous fighter for civil rights. civil liberties. and a fair and just immigration policy. he was rightly known as the conscience of the Senate. His retirement from the Senate in 1956 did not mean rest from political combat. Rather his deep concern for the welfare of New York motivated him at the age of 80 to lead another cause. the cause of political decency and reform within the Democratic Party.
