  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Louisiana Ag Chiefs: Past and Present by Bill Sherman Harry D
    Celebrate Independence Day VOL. 91, No. 14 www.ldaf.state.la.us July 3, 2008 Louisiana ag chiefs: past and present By Bill Sherman Harry D. Wilson of Tangipahoa parish holds the title as longest serving Agriculture Commissioner in Louisiana. Wilson was elected in 1916 and served as Commissioner until his death in January 1948 – a total of 32 years. Wilson who was referred to as “Uncle Harry” or “Mister Harry,” was 78 when he died. Accomplishments under his administration included the establishment of the Market Bulletin, an agriculture based newspaper that afforded farmers and landowners a way to buy and sell farm-related goods and services. Wilson also helped develop the seed laboratory and pushed for an increase in entomological work within the department. He created an agricultural museum in the basement of the State Capitol with a colorful display of Louisiana’s diverse agriculture industry and touted Louisiana products as “the finest anywhere.” Wilson was chairman of the Southern Commissioners of Agriculture for 22 years and served as past president of the organization. At the turn of the 20th century, Tangipahoa Parish, like much of the South, was home to a thriving cotton industry. Wilson was one of the orig- inal organizers of the Cotton Consumption Council and former president of the Association for the Increased Use of Cotton. Wilson was very proud of his roots and his hometown of Independence. While on his death bed in the Our Lady of the Lake hospital in Baton Rouge, Wilson had regained consciousness after seven days in a coma and told the nurse, “Turn me toward Tangipahoa.” Harry D.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

    OFFICIAL BRAND BOOK OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 2015 Brand Book Contains all the Livestock Brands on record in the State Office at the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry in Baton Rouge, Louisiana up to the Close of Business on February 10, 2015 and as provided for in Paragraph 741, Chapter 7, of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. Issued by The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Animal Health and Food Safety Livestock Brand Commission P. O. Box 1951 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821 Mike Strain DVM Commissioner Citizens of Louisiana: Louisiana’s livestock industry, valued at nearly $3 billion, contributes significantly to the state’s economy. Livestock producers face many challenges, like high input costs, unfavorable weather, an uncertain economy and an ever-changing regulatory environment. I understand these challenges and face them with you. As a practicing veterinarian, former state legislator and your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I believe our future is bright. Opportunities are great but we must lead the charge. If we take advantage of the latest advances in science and technology along with our abundant natural resources, infrastructure and proximity to major trade routes, Louisiana can grow agriculture and forestry into the future. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Livestock Brand Commission inspectors investigate all aspects of farm- related crimes in the state, including livestock thefts (cattle, equine, hogs, emus, ostriches, turtles, sheep, and exotics), farm machinery and equipment. The Commission plays a large role in protecting producer’s property. The brands listed in this book assist inspectors in identifying and tracking the movement of livestock in Louisiana.
