EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 3 ROBERT W. LOUGHERY: REBEL EDITOR by Max S. Lale The owner-editor of the Marshall Texas Republican contemplated his future, on a day in February 1861, and found it good. By an over­ whelming vote of 866 to 44, his readers and neighbors in Harrison County had votcd with a majority of other Texans to dissolve their bonds with thc United States of America in the ultimate exercise of states' rights. And states' rights was the fundamental tenet on which R. W. Loughery had based his entry into Texas journalism fourteen years earlier. Loughery had reason for satisfaction. In Washington City, the Marshall man whom he had aided substantially in his elevation to the Unitcd States Scnatc was "giving 'em hell" long before another fire­ brand made thc phrasc famous. Louis Trezevant Wigfall quite appar­ ently was destined for big things in the confederacy now aborning. In Austin, a constitutionalist governor had become anathema to a large fraction of the people he had helped liberate from Mexican rule, and another Marshall man, though he had bccn elected lieutenant governor as an independent on Sam Houston's ticket, was standing in the wings, awaiting his cue. Edward Clark would remember his~and Loughcry's -home town. For a young man who had arrivcd in Marshall virtually penniless in 1849,' it had been a rapid rise. By 1860, Loughery had become a citizen of some substance and was a voice to be reckoned with in Texas politics. Census data show him to have been possessed in that year of $4,000 worth of real property, along with personal property, including two slavcs, worth $7,500.' Already he had received flattering credit around the state for his role in the election of yet another fellow towns­ man, James Pinckney Henderson, to the United States Senate." Standing shoulder to shoulder with Loughery-and sharing the euphoria of a victory won-werc collcagues who had fought for states' rights and Democratic doctrine, perhaps most notably among them anothcr Northeast Texas editor, Charles DeMorse of the Clarksville Northern Standard. who would become known in history as "the father of the Texas Dcmocratic Party.'" By what path had Loughery reached his position of prominence? In the first place it should be remembered that mass communication in the period meant simply newspapers supplemented by a few periodicals and, in the homes of the affluent and literate, the works of such writers as Sir Walter Scott and other novelists. In the South, Uncle Tom's Cabin was not the happiest example of the latter, though it elevated Max S. LaIe lives in Marshall, Texas. He is a past president of the Association. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION blood pressure levels and undoubtedly was one of the Marshall editor's most helpful allies.; Too, the press was largely a personal, not an institutionalized element of society, inasmuch as readers tended to read an editor, not a newspaper. Indeed, many read only their local weekly newspaper. One student has declared that "Southerners learned from newspapers virtually everything they knew of events outside their own communities. Thus, the way in which news was selected and interpreted exerted a tremendous influence in molding the viewpoints of Southerners on many subjects."" It is not too much to say that the newspapers of 1860 had a virtual monopoly on news distribution, as the same student has written. As to the how of Loughery's rise to prominence, the answer is easy. Born February 2, 1820, in Nashville to Irish immigrant parents but bereft of both parents by the time he was ten years old, he studied briefly at St. Thomas Academy and St. Joseph's College in Bardstown, Kentucky, then learned the printer's trade, in which he developed a taste for literature and a talent for composition. Totally upon his own resources at 16, he migrated to Louisiana and in 1840 commenced the publication of a newspaper at Monroe which he continued until 1846.' In April 1847 he became editor of the Jefferson, Texas, Democrat, a paper started by W. N. Bishop. Two years later he became associated with Judge Trenton A. Patillo in the publication of the Texas Republican in Marshall. Loughery bought the paper in 1851' and in 1857 associ­ ated himself with A. D. McCutcheson, who had started the Daily Times, a "rabid secession paper" in Jefferson which he eventually bought also. Loughery merged the two papers in June 1869, discontinuing their publication in 1872. He started the Galveston Times in 1874, and, in succession, the Marshall Tri-Weekly Herald and the Jefferson Democrat in April 1875 and August 1880. He later worked on the Austin States­ man, and, in 1883, wrote his last editorial for the Shreveport Standard. In 1885 he was appointed U. S. consul at Acapulco, Mexico. At the end of his term of office he returned to Marshall, where he continued to live until his death in 1894: He is buried in Marshall Cemetery." These are the bare bones of a career whose impact on Texas politics has absorbed journalists and students of Texas history for many years. Fittingly, his principal legacy is the fading files of his newspapers, though a few tangible evidences remain: his gravcsite, a house at 206 East Fannin in Marshall in which he is said

  • DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North
    4Z SAM RAYBURN: TRIALS OF A PARTY MAN DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Edward 0. Daniel, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1979 Daniel, Edward 0., Sam Rayburn: Trials of a Party Man. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1979, 330 pp., bibliog- raphy, 163 titles. Sam Rayburn' s remarkable legislative career is exten- sively documented, but no one has endeavored to write a political biography in which his philosophy, his personal convictions, and the forces which motivated him are analyzed. The object of this dissertation is to fill that void by tracing the course of events which led Sam Rayburn to the Speakership of the United States House of Representatives. For twenty-seven long years of congressional service, Sam Rayburn patiently, but persistently, laid the groundwork for his elevation to the speakership. Most of his accomplish- ments, recorded in this paper, were a means to that end. His legislative achievements for the New Deal were monu- mental, particularly in the areas of securities regulation, progressive labor laws, and military preparedness. Rayburn rose to the speakership, however, not because he was a policy maker, but because he was a policy expeditor. He took his orders from those who had the power to enhance his own station in life. Prior to the presidential election of 1932, the center of Sam Rayburn's universe was an old friend and accomplished political maneuverer, John Nance Garner. It was through Garner that Rayburn first perceived the significance of the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" style of politics.
