    LIFE OF THE PARTY: UNIONS AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Dorothy Sue Cobble And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey JANUARY, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Life of the Party: Unions and the Making of the Moderate Republican Party in Nassau County, New York By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN Dissertation Director: Dorothy Sue Cobble Since county incorporation in 1899, the Nassau County Republican Party has identified with the moderate wing of the party. A key component of its moderate views lies in its support of workers and organized labor. This dissertation describes the evolution of the partnership between organized labor and the Nassau Republican Party and shows how organized labor contributed to the emergence of a strong political Republican machine. Support for organized labor became necessary to the survival and success of the Nassau County Republicans. At the same time, I argue, organized labor thrived in Nassau County in part because of its partnership with moderate Republicans. This mutually beneficial interaction continued into the twenty-first century, maintaining the Nassau County Republican Party as moderates even as the national GOP has moved to the extreme right. Historians and scholars have studied the history of the Nassau County Republican Party and its rise as a powerful political machine.

  • EDITORIAL Rankly, Nixon-Agnew Was Not Our Dream Ticket
    RIPON SEPTEMBER 1968 VOL. IV, No. 9 ONE DOLLAR EDITORIAL rankly, Nixon-Agnew was not our dream ticket. But presi­ Fdential tickets do not come into being merely because one dreams about them. They require hard work and careful organization over a long period. Mr. Nixon, after all, has been at the game for some time. He began laying the groundwork for his comeback in 1964, when he was the leading Republican to campaign nationally for the Goldwater - Miller ticket. He began building in earnest in 1966, when he toured the whole country for minor Republican candidates and won good will that was essential to his presidential ambitions. For two solid years thereafter he worked unremittingly, building a capable organization, reformulating his positions and submit­ ting to six primary campaigns. In his slow and steady progress towards the nomination. he ran the uninspiring race of the tortoise. But hares seldom win pres­ idential nominations. Even Eisenhower and Willkie were bene­ ficiaries of long-standing networks of influence that went into operation on their behalf well in advance of the nominating con­ ventions. These two men were "clean" candidates because others did the demeaning political work for them. Mr. Nixon is much more the self-made man. He can count on all other men on the make within the Repub­ lican Party to support his campaign. For the lesson of his nomi­ nation will not be lost on either the left or right wing of the GOP. As Mr. Nixon's participation in the campaigns of others has ex­ tended his influence within the Party, so will others now partici­ pate in his campaign to advance their own style of Republican­ ism.

  • Retelling the History of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
    Retelling the History of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York Reprinted from NYLitigator - Summer 2012 Vol. 17 John D. Winter and Richard Maidman Introduction About eighty years ago, Judge Charles Merrill Hough provided a history of the first 130 years of the “Mother Court,” the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Some years later, Judge John Knox’s autobiography1 added to Judge Hough’s description of the Court’s development from its inception more than 220 years ago. Since then, distinguished judges have supplemented the record regarding the Southern District’s place in the history of our federal judiciary. In the early 1980s, Judges Edward Weinfeld, Eugene Nickerson and Roger Miner delivered lectures on the histories of the Southern District and its progeny: the Northern, Eastern and Western Districts of New York. Because more than a generation of lawyers have begun practicing since Judge Miner delivered his lecture in 1984, we thought the time was right to retell the history of our nation’s “Mother Court.” In retelling this history, we have drawn heavily from the histories prepared by Judges Hough, Knox, Weinfeld, Nickerson and Miner, as well as work done by H. Paul Burak some fifty years ago. Beginnings In its first session following the adoption of the United States Constitution, Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Act, amongst other things, created the Supreme Court, as well as the Circuit and District Courts.2 As this brief history demonstrates, the structure and size of the federal system has changed dramatically over the past 220 years.3 On November 3, 1789, the first court organized pursuant to the United States Constitution convened.

Book Review, by Russell Harrison LABOR HISTORY Regional Labor Review (Spring/Summer 2013) Unions and Party Politics on Long Island by Lillian Dudkiewicz-Clayman These are interesting times for Long Island labor unions. Almost every day, newspapers are filled with stories about one level of government or the other looking to balance their budgets by laying off workers, cutting the benefits of organized workers or negotiating givebacks. On May 21, 2012, the Republican- dominated Nassau County legislature proposed a bill that would, in effect, completely undermine collective bargaining. This happened at the end of their legislative session after it had been announced that the bill would be tabled. The republican majority passed the bill with only a few observing their deception. The legislation, which would have given the county executive free reign to make changes in union contracts in order to achieve his targets for savings in the budget, was declared illegal in court.1 All across the country from Wisconsin to Indiana to Ohio to New Jersey, where Republicans gained control of the legislatures, a similar game plan has unfolded. Their goal was to eliminate collective bargaining from the public sector and weaken public sector unions in the process.
