    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.

By 1752 the Post I was established within present Park boundaries, and except for a short time in the early Spanish period, stayed here. When control passed to the United States in 1803, Arkansas Post was the major I settlement in this area, and was the territorial capitol from 1819-1821.

At the bottom of the steps Vaughn Webb, an aide in the Secretary of State's office, presented Riley with an Arkansas state flag that had flown that morning of January 14, 1975, while several admirers applauded from the second floor railing above.

  • Hattie and Huey: a Re-Examination of the Arkansas Senatorial Primary of 1932 Gary H
    Hattie and Huey: A Re-examination of the Arkansas Senatorial Primary of 1932 Gary H. Brooks Belmont Abbey College Abstract: The election of Hattie Caraway to the United States Senate in 1931 stands as one of the more remarkable events in Arkansas electoral history. The dominant view of the election credits her victory to the active intervention of Senator Huey P. Long and his extraordinary whirlwind speaking tour of Arkan­ sas on behalf of Mrs. Caraway. Utilizing multiple regression techniques, this paper derives estimates of the impact of Long's campaign on the outcome of the 1932 primary and concludes that Mrs. Caraway would have won a narrow victory without the active support of Long.
