June 1928 Volume Xi Published Quarterly Bythe State Historical Society of Wisconsin JUNE 1928 VOLUME XI NUMBER 4 PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BYTHE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN is a state- aided corporation whose function is the cultivation and en- couragement of the historical interests of the State. To this end it invites your cooperation; membership is open to all, whether residents of Wisconsin or elsewhere. The dues of annual mem- bers are two dollars, payable in advance; of life members, twenty dollars, payable once only. Subject to certain exceptions, mem- bers receive the publications of the Society, the cost of producing which far exceeds the membership fee. This is rendered possible by reason of the aid accorded the Society by the State. Of the work and ideals of the Society this magazine affords, it is be- lieved, a fair example. With limited means, much has already been accomplished; with ampler funds more might be achieved. So far as is known, not a penny entrusted to the Society has ever been lost or misapplied. Property may be willed to the Society in entire confidence that any trust it assumrs will be scrupulously executed. The WISCONSIN MAGAZINE OP HISTORY is published quarterly by the Society, at 116 E. Main St., Evansville, Wisconsin, in September, Decem- ber, March, and June, and is distributed to its members and exchanges; others who so desire may receive it for the annual subscription of two dollars, payable in advance; single numbers may be had for fifty cents. All correspondence concerning the magazine should be addressed to 116 E. Main St., Evansville, Wisconsin, or the office (of the State Historical Society, Madison, Wisconsin.

COPYRIGHT, 1928; BY THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN Paid for out of the Maria L. and Simeon Mills Editorial Fund Income CARL SCHURZ, IMMIGRANT STATESMAN1 JOSEPH SCHAFER The war-time portrait of Carl Sehurz as major-general, while not well suited to illustrate our theme, is in some re- spects the best ocular key to his personality. The dominant note is virility. It expresses also restless activity, empha- sized by the pose of the body, the folds and rumples of the military cloak, the advanced right foot, and the way the hands are grasping, one the sword, the other the riding-whip. The countenance evinces determination, confidence, wariness, and a solemnity verging toward grimness. Energy and steadfastness were fundamental traits of Schurz's character, and of these his family background yields a complete explanation. The engaging story of his maternal grandfather, Heribert Jiissen, the giant "Burghalfen" of Count Wolf Metternich's seigniory, as Carl Sehurz presents it, renders superfluous a further quest for the sources of his own extraordinary endowment of vital force. His school- master father, Christian Sehurz, gave early direction to his eager and sensitive mind. At an age when the average boy is still callow and unformed, Carl Sehurz was a budding scholar, earnestly devoted to the classics, to literature, philos- ophy, and history. In earliest boyhood he had been inducted into the entrancing mysteries of music, becoming an ac- 1 This paper, in more extended form, will constitute the introduction to a volume entitled Carl Sehurz: The Stressful Period, which the State Historical Society is about to send to press under the Superintendent's editorship. This volume will contain Doctor Schafer's translations of more than three hundred letters written by Carl Sehurz to his family and friends prior to August, 1869. Typewritten copies of the original letters were secured from Miss Marianne Sehurz, of New York, the sole survivor of Carl Schurz's immediate family. 874 Joseph Schafer complished performer on piano and organ. That means of cultural development and spiritual solace he never relin- quished. The revolutionary movement in the German states, which interrupted Schurz's university studies in the midst of his third year at Bonn, might have produced a violent change of direction and character in his training. Yet the outcome was wholesome. It gave him a profound emotional experi- ence, strangely unrelated to the cloistered calm of lecture room and club. Apart from this, the dramatic episodes "of flood and field" could be reckoned as the laboratory phase of his social studies, making them infinitely more intensive and more real. The maturing of character, in this period, was inevitably hastened. Schurz's exile in Switzerland, Paris, and London; his active journalistic propaganda in behalf of a liberal over- turn in Germany; his careful investigation of the French Revolution as the nursery of political reform; and a study of advanced political thinkers among other European peoples, fitted him ideally for public service in a republic. When he appeared on the American scene, it was not merely as a brilliant young revolutionist of high attainments and valuable journalistic experience. He was heralded as the hero of the Kinkel rescue, a dramatic aftermath of the German Revolution of 1848 which, in its publicity value to Schurz, was worth years of normally developing prestige. Americans of every shade of thought were curious about him, and all liberals received him with acclaim. The Forty-eight- ers already in the country were predisposed to accept his leadership, which made possible the winning of an ever- widening influence among Americans of German birth. De- spite the element of luck which entered into his oppor- tunity, and notwithstanding a liability to the mistakes of in- experience, Schurz successfully conserved his initial advan- MAJOR-GENERAL CARL SCHURZ Courtesy of Doubleday, Doran and Company Carl Schurz, Immigrant Statesman 375 tages and grew steadily in the esteem and confidence of both native Germans and native Americans. II It was the knell of European liberalism, sounding in the news of the December (1851) reaction in France, that turned Schurz's thoughts toward America. He agreed with Louis Blanc, whom he accidentally discovered brooding on the same bench with himself in Hyde Park, that Louis Na- poleon's coup d'etat "finished" reform for years to come. "The Fatherland was closed to me," he says. "England was to me a foreign country, and would always remain so. Where then? 'To America,' I said to myself. 'The ideals of which I have dreamed and for which I have fought, I shall find there, not fully realized, but hopefully struggling for full realization. In that great struggle I shall perhaps be able to take some part. It is a new world, a free world, a world of great ideas and aims. In that world there is per- haps for me a new home. Ubi Libertas—ibi patria—1 formed my resolution on the spot. I would remain only a short time longer in England to make some necessary prep- arations, and then—off for America.' " The preparation in- cluded his marriage in London, July 6,1852, to the daughter of a Hamburg merchant. They sailed in August from Portsmouth and "on a bright September morning [Sep- tember 17], with the bouyant hopefulness of young hearts, saluted the New World." Schurz soon discovered that, hopeful as general condi- tions were, America was still far from his ideal of a free na- tion. By shrewd inquiry from all and sundry; by assiduous study of the newspapers; by conferring with government officials and listening to debates in Congress; by a somewhat thorough study of American history—lie arrived within a very few months at a clear-eyed view of the character of 376 Joseph Schafer American democracy. How it looked to him is revealed in his reciprocal views of the New and the Old World, with both of which his letters of the period concern themselves. "Every glance into the political life of America," he wrote, "strengthens my conviction that the aim of a revolution can be nothing else than to make room for the will of the people— in other words, to break every authority which has its organi- zation in the life of the state and, as far as possible, to over- turn the barriers to individual liberty.

  • A Brief History of Riverside Avenue
    A Brief History of Riverside Avenue The following provides supplementary information for a walking tour of Marinette’s historic Riverside Avenue. It focuses on the development of the city and the residents of Riverside Avenue in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The information below begins with the house at 1851 Riverside and proceeds upriver to the Hattie Street bridge. The return leg of the tour includes information on the monuments along the river, followed by the Stephenson Public Library and ending at the Best Western Riverfront Inn (adjacent to 1851 Riverside). (Note: Click any picture below for a larger version of the image) Overview – Beginning in the 1880s, the region between Hall Avenue and the Menominee River (west of the downtown) became the site of some of the more fashionable residences in Marinette. Until 1890, most residential streets were built paralleling Main Street east of the downtown. Those streets were located near the sawmills and were populated primarily by sawmill laborers. The affluent members of the emerging business and professional community built their homes west of the downtown. Riverside Avenue (originally part of Main Street, renamed River Street by 1887, and Riverside Avenue by 1895) was the most affluent street in this new area and is composed of the residences of many of the most prominent individuals in the history of Marinette. Residences found in this neighborhood reflect popular architectural trends of the time unlike the vernacular houses found throughout the city. Marinette’s legacy as a late-nineteenth century lumber boom town remains with us today. 1851 Riverside, today Address: 1851 Riverside Built: Prior to 1881 (c.

  • La Follette and the Progressive Machine in Wisconsin Robert S
    La Follette and the Progressive Machine in Wisconsin Robert S. Maxwell* To most people interested in history or government the study of political machines has held a peculiar fascination. Since the days of Lincoln Skffens and his fellow “Muck- rakers” the word “machine” has connoted sordid politics, graft, and the clever political manipulations of a “BOSS”Wil- liam M. Tweed or Mayor Frank Hague. In contrast, most re- form movements have been amateurish and unstable efforts which usually broke up in failure after one or two elections. On those rare occasions when successful reform organizations have been welded together they have developed techniques of political astuteness, leadership, and discipline not unlike the traditional machines. Such organizations have, in truth, been political machines, but with the difference that they operated in the public interest and for the public good. Certainly one of the most successful and dramatic of such state political reform organizations in recent history was that of Robert M. La Follette, Sr. and his fellow Progressives in Wisconsin during the years from 1900 to 1914. Here the Pro- gressives developed a powerful political machine, dominated state elections for a dozen years, and enacted a series of sweep- ing political, economic, and social reforms which attracted the attention of the entire nation and were widely copied. The personal success of La Follette, himself, was even more spec- tacular. From 1900 until his death in 1925 the voters of Wis- consin bestowed upon him every office that he sought:-three terms as governor, four terms as United States Senator, and on two occasions, the vote of the state for president.

  • 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.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.
