He served in the Assembly in 1912.[3] He lost the 1912 re-election to Republican Mortimer B. Edwards,[4] and in 1913 he lost the election to the Assembly to Republican Simon P. Quick.[5] In the 1942 United States House of Representatives election, he was the Democratic candidate in New York's 34th congressional district. He lost the election to Edwin Arthur Hall.[6]
Ruland was a prominent member of the Improved Order of Red Men in New York, having been elected great junior sagamore for New York State in 1918, great senior sagamore in 1919, great sachem in 1920, great prophet in 1921, and great representative to the Great Council of the United States. He was a 32nd degree Freemason, president of the University Club from 1918 to 1919, and a member of Delta Sigma Rho and Phi Delta Phi. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.[1]
