He married Florence Pullman, the daughter of George Pullman, the inventor of the Pullman sleeping car. Lowden’s political career began around 1900 when he became involved in the local Republican party and then went on to serve on the Republican National Committee. In 1906, Lowden was elected as United States Representative from Illinois, a position he continued to hold until 1911 when he declined to run for reelection.

  • Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State
    Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State Did the civil rights movement impact the development of the American state? Despite extensive accounts of civil rights mobilization and nar- ratives of state building, there has been surprisingly little research that explicitly examines the importance and consequence that civil rights activism has had for the process of state building in American political and constitutional development. Through a sweeping archival analysis of the NAACP’s battle against lynching and mob violence from 1909 to 1923, this book examines how the NAACP raised public awareness, won over U.S. presidents, and secured the support of Congress. In the NAACP’s most far-reaching victory, the Supreme Court ruled that the constitutional rights of black defendants were violated by a white mob in the landmark criminal procedure decision Moore v. Dempsey – a decision that changed the relationship of state and local courts to the national state. This book establishes the importance of citizen agency in the making of new constitutional law in a period unexplored by pre- vious scholarship. Megan Ming Francis is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Pepperdine University. She completed her PhD in the Department of Politics at Princeton University in 2008 and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago in 2008–2009 and as a Jerome Hall Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center of Law, Society, and Culture at Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 2009–2010. Francis’s research interests include American political development, race, crime, capitalism, and civil rights. Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

  • Frank O. Lowden, Governor of Illinois, 1919
    UJtOZS 1313 Prepared and published by friends of Frank O. Lowden as a well merited tribute to the Great War Governor of Illinois. - - - - GOVERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN Frank O. Lowden Governor of Illinois 1919 a FRANK O. LOVVDEN Late in the '60's a seven-year -old boy trudged behind his father's prairie schooner across the unsettled country from Minnesota to Iowa. The rough roads cut his bare feet, the brambles ripped his blue jeans. But he was game. Ten years before, this boy's father had taken another long journey with his family from Pennsylvania to Minnesota, where he earned a living as a countryside black- smith. Lorenzo Lowden was the father's name. Of course you have guessed that the son who was born three years later, and who so bravely tramped behind the prairie schooner when still a mere child, was Frank Orren Lowden, Governor of Illinois. A new home in a cabin, was established in Hardin County, on the Iowa prairies. The senior Lowden farmed, his son helping him and at the same time striving hard to get an education. As was the case of the frontier boy, he had few opportunities to study and attend school. At fifteen, however, he had made such good use of his time that he obtained a school, which he taught for five years. EARNED HIS OWN EDUCATION A fine education was his goal. His salary as a teacher was so small that he undertook the cleaning up of his own school room to earn a few extra dollars.
