  • 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.

Maine citizens and the state’s political leaders understood that they were witnessing an historic turn in the nation 5 history. They were not passive observ­ ers, however. Many participated eagerly in the war effort. Others vehemently protested an expansionist foreign policy and the ambitions of the war's promoters. This article tracks the war's progress through the experiences of Maine people who lived through it and assesses the contributions they made to the important debate that accompanied the conflict.

Karrer, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1963 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION On January 2, 1913, Joseph Weldon Bailey of Texas an- nounced. his resignation from the United States Senate, bringing to an end twenty-two years of congressional service. Bailey's resignation coincided with the culmination of one' of the most turbulent eras in Texas politics. From 1900 through 1912 Joe Bailey not only dominated the political scene in Texas, but was, in fact, the main issue in local as well as statewide cam- 1 paigns. His domination ended in 1912, when against his highly vocal opposition, Texas Democrats overwhelmingly made Woodrow Wilson their choice for the Presidency. Although Bailey retained his interest in politics and nearly won the Texas gubernatorial election in 1920, he exerted his greatest influence at both the national and state levels during the years he served in the national legislature. After entering the House of Representatives in 1891 he rose rapidly to a position of prominence in Congress and his party, his Democratic colleagues electing him their leader when he was but thirty-|three years of age. Upon promotion to the Senate in 1901 he again demonstrated his ability as a leader; during the greater part of his service in that body he was the virtual ^Seth Shepard McKay, Texas Politics, 1906-19^ (Lubbock, 1952), pp.
