He will find instead a discussion of the origins of the party, its rise to power during territorial times, its decline after statehood in I 9I I and some of the reasons for its relegation to a secondary role in public affairs in recent times. While the research was taking shape, personnel in charge of manuscripts a t the U niversity of New Mexico and the U niversity o f Oklahoma libraries offered inestimable assistance by providing direction into the papers of Thomas B. Catron, Albert B. Fall and Patrick J. Hurley. Also, ex-Governor Edwin L. Mechem, Earl Stull and James E. N elei^, all of Las Cruces, ware exceedingly generous in affording time for personal interviews which helped clarify some of the current problems of the New Mexican Republican party . Professor W. Eugene Hollon, chairman of the committee, has con­ tributed generously in behalf of this thesis, giving rigid critician and kind encouragement. Many of its merits are the product of his effort, \diile responsibility for its faults rests solely with the author. Other i i i members of the committee •(dio have offered critician and help are Professors Max Moorhead and Prison Gooch and Dean John E zell. Mrs. Donna B iel ski typed the preliminary and final drafts of the manuscript. Finally, my -wife, Karolyn, has been a constant contributor and friendly critic. Her understanding and willingness to sacrifice have been magnificent. %.thout them, this study would never have been completed. iv table of contents Page PREFACE i i i Chapter I.

Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

Lincoln's New Mexico Patronage: Saving the Far Southwest for the Union DEREN EARL KELLOGG New Mexico Territory receives scant mention in connection with the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. Historians have generally concluded that Lincoln and other federal officials attached no great value to the territory and mostly neglected it. It is true that Lincoln could devote little attention to the administration of the western territories during the Civil War, which threatened the very future ofthe country. However, evi­ I, dence suggests that Lincoln did care about saving New Mexico:for the Union and should be given some credit for achieving this goal. Aithough Lincoln's western patronage record was generally undistinguished, his appointments to the New Mexico Territory were popular men who had' experience in the Southwest and who often did not identify themselves with the Republican Party.

  • Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on US Political Blogs
    Bread or Circuses? Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on U.S. Political Blogs by Milo Taylor Anderson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Milo Anderson 2014 Bread or Circuses? Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on U.S. Political Blogs Milo Anderson Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis finds empirical support for Jodi Dean's theory of declining symbolic efficiency through a qualitative content analysis of discourse concerning the 2013 U.S. government shutdown on political blogs. Themes of this thesis explore reflexivity, decontextualization, and an erosion of meaning brought about by changing media technologies and practices. Humanistic analyses of media and politics by scholars such as Benkler (2006) and McChesney (1999) are contrasted with works by Gitlin (1980), Postman (1985), and Dean (2010), who see media systems operating outside human control. This study's methodology relies upon Knight and Johnson's (2011) pragmatic justification for democratic institutions. The analysis uses a system of categories to describe statements about political strategy along four dimensions: operant; method of action; operand; and the consequence of the strategy. This study identifies important distinctions between textual descriptions of nominal and instrumental strategy; it is argued that nominal discourse represents

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • In the US House and Senate, 1822–2012
    H APPENDIX C H Hispanic-American Members’ Committee Assignments (Standing, Joint, Select) in the U.S. House and Senate, 1822–2012 This appendix lists alphabetically all the congressional committees on which Hispanic-American Members served. Several features will help readers track Hispanic membership on committees over time: • In instances where a committee’s name (rather than its primary jurisdictional duties) has changed, a “See also” note refers researchers to prior or latter committee name iterations. These name iterations are listed in chronological order. • In instances where a committee on which a Hispanic Member served was disbanded and its jurisdiction subsumed by another committee, a “Jurisdiction reassigned” note is provided. Not all reassigned jurisdictions are listed. Researchers are referred only to the committees with expanded jurisdictions on which Hispanic Members later served. • In instances where a committee was disbanded and no jurisdictional transfer occurred, only the Congress and date ranges of the committee are provided. • Members’ terms of service on committees reflect the years they served on the committees; the Congress range is provided in a separate column. Because this appendix accounts for Members joining or leaving committees because of deaths, resignations, and special elections, in some instances service dates are not coterminous with Congress dates. • Delegates from the New Mexico and Florida Territories did not receive committee assignments until the 1880s. • The closing date for this volume was September 1, 2012.
