Biographical Narrative In Who's Who In America, Edward A. Dickson is described as an editor, publisher. This gives only a partial idea of the contributions which Dickson made to California, and particularly to Los Angeles, during his long and varied career. In addition to his direction of the influential Los Angeles Evening Express, Dickson played an important role in the development of the University of California, he was a very active civic leader, and although he never ran for political office, he was a figure of consequence in the California Republican Party. Edward Augustus Dickson was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on August 29, 1879, the son of William H. and Gurie (Iverson) Dickson. His family moved to California in 1885, and Dickson attended Sacramento High School. While studying for his B.L. degree at the University of California, Berkeley, which he obtained in 1901, Dickson was editor of the Daily Californian. After graduation Dickson spent some time during 1901-02 in Japan, but upon his return he took up the newspaper work which would be his profession for the next twenty-eight years. He spent some time with the Sacramento Union and the San Francisco Chronicle. Then in 1906 Dickson moved to Los Angeles and joined the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Evening Express. He acted as Washington correspondent during 1910-12. In 1919 Dickson became the owner and editor of the Express. Dickson married Wilhelmina de Wolff in 1907. In 1931 Dickson left the newspaper field for banking. He became President of the Western Federal Savings and Loan Association, a post he held until his death on February 22, 1956. He had also been a member of the Board of Directors of Finding Aid for the Edward A. 662 3 Dickson Papers, 1900-1954 the Central Investment Corporation, owners of the Biltmore Hotel. Dickson was twice decorated by foreign governments for distinguished service in the field of journalism and education. He was made Officier de l'Instruction Publique, by France, and Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy. Various activities demonstrate Dickson's interest in the political process. He was one of the founders of the Lincoln-Roosevelt League, which changed the climate of politics in California. Its first major success came with the election of Hiram Johnson as California Governor in 1910. From 1918-22 Dickson served as a member of the Republican State Central Committee of California, and in 1932 he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention. When he was not serving in any formal position Dickson still maintained an active interest in the political scene. Edward Dickson served California and Los Angeles in a number of official (as well as unofficial) capacities. During World War I he was a member of the California State Council of Defense. At various times Dickson acted as Treasurer of the Advisory Council of the Los Angeles County Art Institute, Chairman of the Los Angeles Centennial Commission, member of the Board of the Los Angeles Public Library, member of the Board of Directors of the Olympic Games Association, and member of the Community Development Board, which was instrumental in building the Coliseum and bringing the 1932 Olympics to Los Angeles. In the midst of other functions Dickson managed to cultivate his personal interest in particular fields, especially those of art and fine printing (in this latter area he collected a number of specimens; see the Graphic Art Collection, Department of Special Collections). He was in the center of artistic activities in Southern California as a member of the Los Angeles Art Association, an organizer of the UCLA Art Council, and of course, through his work with the Los Angeles County Art Institute. Another area of interest was Abraham Lincoln; Dickson collected material concerning Lincoln and he helped found the Lincoln Club of Los Angeles. A listing of the clubs Dickson belonged to, in addition to those mentioned earlier, gives an idea of the extent of his participation in community affairs: the Historical Society of Southern California, the Direct Legislation League, Phi Delta Theta, the California Interfraternity Alumni Council, the Southern California Tennis Association, the Sunset Club, the California Club, the University Club, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the California Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown Business Men's Association. Edward Dickson had a life-long devotion to the University of California which helped make him a central figure in some of its most outstanding developments. In 1913 Governor Johnson appointed Dickson to the Board of Regents of the University. He was the first, and for some years the only member from Southern California.

    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.

    The Democratic Split During Buchanan's Administration

    THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT DURING BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION By REINHARD H. LUTHIN Columbia University E VER since his election to the presidency of the United States Don the Republican ticket in 1860 there has been speculation as to whether Abraham Lincoln could have won if the Democratic party had not been split in that year.' It is of historical relevance to summarize the factors that led to this division. Much of the Democratic dissension centered in the controversy between President James Buchanan, a Pennsylvanian, and United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The feud was of long standing. During the 1850's those closest to Buchanan, par- ticularly Senator John Slidell of Louisiana, were personally antagonistic toward Douglas. At the Democratic national conven- tion of 1856 Buchanan had defeated Douglas for the presidential nomination. The Illinois senator supported Buchanan against the Republicans. With Buchanan's elevation to the presidency differences between the two arose over the formation of the cabinet.2 Douglas went to Washington expecting to secure from the President-elect cabinet appointments for his western friends William A. Richardson of Illinois and Samuel Treat of Missouri. But this hope was blocked by Senator Slidell and Senator Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, staunch supporters of Buchanan.

Hicks, The Federal Union (Boston and New York, 1937), p. 604. 2 Much scholarly work has been done on Buchanan, Douglas, and the Democratic rupture. See Philip G.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
