  • DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North
    4Z SAM RAYBURN: TRIALS OF A PARTY MAN DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Edward 0. Daniel, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1979 Daniel, Edward 0., Sam Rayburn: Trials of a Party Man. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1979, 330 pp., bibliog- raphy, 163 titles. Sam Rayburn' s remarkable legislative career is exten- sively documented, but no one has endeavored to write a political biography in which his philosophy, his personal convictions, and the forces which motivated him are analyzed. The object of this dissertation is to fill that void by tracing the course of events which led Sam Rayburn to the Speakership of the United States House of Representatives. For twenty-seven long years of congressional service, Sam Rayburn patiently, but persistently, laid the groundwork for his elevation to the speakership. Most of his accomplish- ments, recorded in this paper, were a means to that end. His legislative achievements for the New Deal were monu- mental, particularly in the areas of securities regulation, progressive labor laws, and military preparedness. Rayburn rose to the speakership, however, not because he was a policy maker, but because he was a policy expeditor. He took his orders from those who had the power to enhance his own station in life. Prior to the presidential election of 1932, the center of Sam Rayburn's universe was an old friend and accomplished political maneuverer, John Nance Garner. It was through Garner that Rayburn first perceived the significance of the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" style of politics.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stanley, Mark. Portrait of a Southern Progressive: The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas, 1871-1952. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2011, 361 pp., references, 150 titles. Pat M. Neff was a product of his political place and time. Born in Texas in 1871, during Reconstruction, he matured and prospered while his native state did the same as it transitioned from Old South to New South. Neff spent most of his life in Waco, a town that combined New South Progressivism with religious conservatism. This duality was reflected in Neff’s own personality. On moral or religious issues, he was conservative. On economic and social issues, he was Progressive. He thus was a typical Southern Progressive who de-emphasized social and political change in favor of economic development. For instance, as governor from 1921 to 1925, his work to develop and conserve Texas’ water resources brought urbanization and industrialization that made the New South a reality in the state. Neff was a devout Baptist which influenced his politics and philosophy. He was president of Baylor University, a Baptist institution, for fifteen years after leaving the governor s office and he led the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the 1940s.

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.

What these struggles reveal about the shifting role of religion in the developing definition of American citizenship is at the heart of this dissertation. Looking at developing ideas about citizenship in this particular frame exposes the social and political history of exclusion and inclusion comes and the role religion played in determining who could lay claim to citizenship and who could not, who tried and failed, who succeeded, and why. In the end, the coercive measures of the state and their own desire to join the body politic drove the Saints to abandon unquestionably the practice of polygamy, a central tenet of their faith, so that they could be accepted as American citizens.
