    Excerpted from Brad Koplinski, HATS IN THE RING: CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES (Presidential Publishing: North Bethesda, Maryland, 2000) John Schmitz Born: August 12, 1930 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Election in which he ran for president: 1972 Party: American Offices held: California State Senator 1965 - 1970 and 1978 - 1982 United States Congressman 1970 - 1973 Entered the race: August 2, 1972 - Washington, D.C. Stopped campaigning: November 7, 1972 - When Richard Nixon was re-elected president Strategy: Run to the right of President Richard Nixon, exposing his vulnerability on the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Make a credible showing to build the party for success in future elections. Best finish: Third place in Idaho (28,869 votes - 9.3 percent) Total votes: 1,099,482 Amount raised: $533,000 Current residence: Washington, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Current activities: Serving as President of Chapelle Charlemagne Vineyards. Interesting facts: Owns the townhouse where Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy lived while serving in the United States Senate. Officially changed his registration from the Republican Party to the American Party upon receiving the latter's presidential nomination, thereby making him the first and only member of the American Party to serve in Congress. Elected to the California State Senate in 1964, John Schmitz made a name for himself by advocating conservative causes that other Republicans feared to support. He was the first member of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society to serve in the body. When asked about his membership in the group, Schmitz Jokingly replied that he "had to do something to get the middle-of-the-road vote" in conservative Orange County.

  • Mines, Mills and Malls: Regional Development in the Steel Valley
    MINES, MILLS AND MALLS: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE STEEL VALLEY by Allen J Dieterich-Ward A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2006 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Matthew D Lassiter, Chair Professor J Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J Countryman Assistant Professor Scott D Campbell In memory of Kenneth Ward and James Lowry Witherow. In honor of Helen Ward and Dolores Witherow. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the History Department and the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for generous financial support while researching and writing this dissertation. I began work on this project as part of my Senior Independent Study at the College of Wooster, which was supported in part by the Henry J. Copeland Fund. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s Scholar-in-Residence program greatly facilitated my research at the Pennsylvania State Archives. During the final year of writing, I also received a timely and deeply appreciated fellowship from the Phi Alpha Theta History Honors Society. I owe a great debt to the many Steel Valley residents who generously agreed to be interviewed for this project, especially Don Myers, James Weaver, and Charles Steele. Being allowed entry into their present lives and their past memories was a wonderful gift and I have tried to explain their actions and those of their contemporaries in a balanced and meaningful way. The staff of the Ohio Historical Society, Pennsylvania State Archives, Archives of Industrial Society, Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania and the Bethany College Library provided generous assistance during my visits.

    , THE MISSISSIPPI· FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY Background InformaUon for SUppoMlve CampaIgns by Campus Groups repal"ed by STEV E MAX PolItical Education Project, Room 3091' 119 FIfth Ave., N .. Y.C. Associated with Students for a Democrattc Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE llJAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians who traditionally have been denied this right. In addition to being a political instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily think in these -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in the destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are potential allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of MisSissippi .with an iron hand. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state 3enators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats. Mississippi sent four Democrats and one Goldwater Republican to Congress last November.

  • Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers
    Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Lambert C. Mims, 1930-2008 Title: Lambert C. Mims Papers Dates: 1820-2003 (bulk 1965-1989) Quantity: 160.5 linear feet Abstract: Papers agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, news clippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections. Accession: 06-09-459 ; 459-2006 Biographical Note: Lambert C. Mims was born in 1930 in Uriah, Alabama. He moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1949 and worked as a salesman before co-founding, a year later, a feed company, and, in 1965, branching out on his own. Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel. It opened Mobile Greyhound Park and saw the Southern Market/City Hall designated a national historic landmark. It reconstructed and opened Fort Condé and celebrated the nation's bicentennial. It witnessed the devastating destruction of hurricanes Camille and Frederic and saw the first oil well drilled in the bay. It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history. Upon leaving office, Governor George Wallace appointed Mims as his ambassador to the Alabama Waterways Development Agency, a position he held from 1985 until March 1987, and one in which he promoted the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
