Feature Article: Those Who Served Feature 2 Article Those Who Served: Wisconsin Legislators 1848 2007 (Kathleen Sitter, LRB) 100 WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK 2007 – 2008 Those Who served: Wisconsin LegisLaTors 1848-2007 By Michael J. Keane Legislative Reference Bureau Graphics and Design by Kathleen Sitter and Crystal Smith, LRB WISCONSIN LEGISLATORS SENATE 101 caLLing The roLL of Wisconsin LegisLaTors The lawmaking, or legislative, function is the most fundamental in a republic. This is why the Wisconsin Constitution, as well as the United States Constitution, accords the legislative power the honor of first placement over the other two branches of government. Legislative power is also shared to a far greater extent. Only 43 individuals have served as governor in Wisconsin history, and fewer than 80 have served on the supreme court since its creation in 1853. In contrast, since 1848, the roster of civic-minded Wisconsinites who have filled the legislative role has reached over 1,000 in the senate and nearly 5,000 in the assembly. Over 400 have served in both houses. A common question is, “How many people have served in the legislature?” For several reasons, we don’t know for sure. There are a number of difficulties inherent in arriving at an accurate count. Individuals who served only part of a session are particularly elusive. Also, many legislators have served nonconsecutive terms and have served in both houses. A number of names appearing on the list twice may or may not be the same person. However, our best estimate is that 5,517 individuals have served in the Wisconsin Legislature since statehood. A list of names alone sheds little light on those who served, or on the legislature as an institution. We have included a number of photographs, anecdotes, quotes, and statistical infor- mation. Some of this material is humorous, some not. We hope all will be interesting and bring some life to this list by illuminating the men and women who made our laws. Names of members are listed by house (senate first on lavender pages; assembly on light blue pages) and includes name, party, district, and session served. Prior to 1973, assembly dis- tricts were not assigned unique numbers, but were identified by the county or counties in which they were located. Where a member has represented one or more multicounty districts, we have listed all the counties represented over their entire service in alphabetical order. name (ParTy) disTrict Session name (ParTy) disTrict Session Bacon, Orrin (R) 12 1872-73* Bailey, Dana R.

Because of this power, the legislature is often approached with petitions, letters, and communications from citizen groups and individuals asking the legislature to use its power to accomplish their goals. Often, these goals are easily fulfilled. At other times, they are difficult, if not impossible. Such was the case in 1860, when one William Blunt, a farmer and sometime preacher from the Town of Clarno in Green County, offered a petition to the senate. In the petition, Blunt described how he had traveled to Texas the previous year to explore the possibility of settling there. At the height of the sectional tension between North and South, Blunt’s presence and preaching attracted negative attention. According to his account, he was taken into custody by a mob which included the Dallas County sheriff, accused of being an abolitionist (a charge he denied), flogged, and relieved of $16. Blunt asked the Wisconsin Senate to “take such action as will enable him ... to seek for and obtain redress from the citizens of Texas who committed the outrages above spoken of” or, ... continued next page name (ParTy) disTrict Session name (ParTy) disTrict Session Buettner, Carol A.

The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives.

    3 ABOUT WISCONSIN 282 | Wisconsin Blue Book 2019–2020 Menomonie residents celebrated local members of the Wisconsin National Guard who served during the Great War. As Wisconsin soldiers demobilized, policymakers reevaluated the meaning of wartime service—and fiercely debated how the state should recognize veterans’ sacrifices. WHS IMAGE ID 103418 A Hero’s Welcome How the 1919 Wisconsin Legislature overcame divisions to enact innovative veterans legislation following World War I. BY JILLIAN SLAIGHT he Great War seemed strangely distant to Ira Lee Peterson, even as his unit camped mere miles from the front lines in France. Between drills and marches, the twenty-two-year-old Wisconsinite swam in streams, wrote letters home, and slept underneath the stars in apple orchards.
