Knott and Sidney J. Catts. In addition, the passions stirred by that contest spilled over into the United States Senate race and completely dominated it. Although historians have written a good deal about Knott and Catts, they have failed to describe or explain in depth the senatorial contest between in- cumbent Nathan P. Bryan and Florida Governor Park M. Tram- mell. Trammell was in the final year of his four-year term as gov- ernor in 1916. The son of John W. Trammell, long-time Demo- cratic stalwart and former superintendent of the state mental hospital at Chattahoochee, Park was raised in Lakeland. After graduating from Cumberland University Law School in 1899, he won three consecutive terms as mayor of his hometown. Trammell then served in the Florida house (1903) and senate (1905, 1907), gradually winning a reputation as a Broward progressive. In 1908, in his first statewide race, he defeated Attorney General William Ellis in the Democratic primary. His victorious 1912 primary campaign for governor against William H. Milton dealt with the issues of good roads and the labor of state convicts, neither of which were extremely controversial matters. Bypassing controversy and conflict-or using them to his advantage-became the hallmarks of Trammell’s political career. Since the Florida constitution, at the time, prohibited a gov- ernor from succeeding himself, Trammell began to look around for other available offices that he might secure. The two most likely spots which would be attainable by election in 1916 were the United States Senate seat held by Nathan P. Bryan and the first congressional district post occupied by Stephen Sparkman. * Mr. Kerber is library technical assistant, P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History, University of Florida, Gainesville. Published by STARS, 1979 7 Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 58 [1979], No. 3, Art. 1 256 FLORIDA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY Trammell indicated at the end of January 1915, about halfway through his term as governor, that he intended “at a later date to become a candidate for congress from the First Florida district.“ 1 Herbert Drane of Lakeland had already announced for the seat, and most observers expected Stephen Sparkman of Tampa to seek reelection. In addition, Trammell’s longtime friend, Allie J. Angle, the harbormaster at Tampa, had expressed an interest in the position. 2 By the spring of 1915, Trammell had begun to change his mind. On May 12, in response to a reporter’s question about his candidacy for Congress, he stated, “I have nothing to say in that connection just at present,” but, he admitted with a smile that he might soon have some other announcement. 3 Two factors un- doubtedly influenced Trammell’s reasoning. First, he realized that a seat in the United States Senate was certainly more prestigious, secure, and desirable than a House of Representatives position. Actually, he had had ambitions to go to the Senate as early as 1908, but had temporarily sidetracked them to stay in state pol- itics. Second, the always politically-aware Trammell must have perceived the danger that Sidney J. Catts’s gubernatorial cam- paign would pose to the reelection plans of Senator Bryan. Even before Trammell had indicated his intention to run for Congress, astute newspapermen like Jacksonville’s Charles E. Jones had warned that Catts’s speeches and sermons were striking a resonant note of nativism among Florida’s rural white masses. The Guard- ians of Liberty, “a secret political society,” wrote Jones, was offering “a candidate for governor in the person of one Catts, who came here [to Florida] a few years ago from Alabama.” The Guardians, Jones reported, would “oppose Nathan P. Bryan for re-election . because Senator Bryan decreed to select P. A. Dignan [Peter A. Dignan, a Catholic] for postmaster [of Jackson- ville].” The Guardians, continued, Jones, might “also oppose Governor Trammell.“ 4 The 1916 Florida Democratic primary races for governor and United States senator cannot be comprehended separately. The contest for the governorship directly influenced the Senate race. 1. Jacksonville Dixie, January 30, 1915. 2. Ibid., January 30, February 6, 1915. 3. Tallahassee Daily Democrat, May 12, 1915.

THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution.

    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

Focusing on the “Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America” exhibition at three United States cultural venues I argue that audiences employ discernible meaning making strategies to interpret these lynching photographs and postcards. This examination also features analysis of distinct institutional characteristics of the Andy Warhol Museum, Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, and the Charles H.

  • 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.

  • 4.0 Historical Overview
    4-1 4.0 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW The following overview traces the historical development of the general study area from the European settlement through the twentieth century. The intent of this overview is to serve as a guide to field investigations by identifying the possible locations of any historic cultural resources within the project area and to provide expectations regarding the potential historic significance of any such sites. It also provides a context with which to interpret any historic resources encountered during the study. 4.1 European Contact and Colonial Period (1513–1821) Three Native American ethnic groups were known to inhabit east central Florida at the time of Spanish contact: the Ais, the Mayaca, and the Jororo. The Ais lived along the Atlantic Coast and were closely involved with the Spanish. They inhabited the coastal strand and Indian River areas at this time. They apparently mixed indigenous hunting/gathering/fishing economy with the salvaging of Spanish shipwrecks (Milanich 1995:64-65). The Mayaca and Jororo peoples occupied an area from north-central Florida to as far south as Lake Okeechobee (Mitchem et al. 1998). The earliest contact between the native populations and the Europeans occurred through slave hunting expeditions. “Slaving expeditions,” which provided workers for the mines of Hispaniola and Cuba, were not recorded in official documents as the Spanish Crown prohibited the enslavement of Caribbean natives. Evidence of these slave raids comes from the familiarity with the Florida coast stated by navigators of the earliest official coastal reconnaissance surveys (Cabeza de Vaca 1922: Chapter 4).
