Hinton date Assistant Professor of History PREFACE The Progressive movement in Arizona was but part of a larger political phenomenon which existed precariously in the United States between 1910 and 1916. Revolt against the conservative leadership of the two older parties— Democratic and Republican-brought a third party into existance. Led nationally by Theodore Roosevelt, the new party lacked machinery and depended heavily upon its state organizations for support. A newcomer to Arizona, John Campbell Greenway, played a quiet but important part in sustaining the movement in that state. No professional politician, he was attracted to the movement by his admiration for its leader, under whom he had served in the Spanish-American War. Even when the Progressive blossom was brightest in 1912, the Arizona off­ shoot was not healthy. Its root soon proved shallow, and its strength was drawn away by the stronger organization of the Republican party and the competing progressivism of the Democratic party. Barely able to retain its identity in the state election of 1914, the Progressive party of Arizona had few supporters remaining in its ranks by 1916. As the party died on the national level that year, so did it perish in Arizona. Throughout, however, the movement iii iv in Arizona was nourished by Greenway's friendship with Roosevelt which, while hitherto unacknowledged, was the distinguishing feature of his own political thinking and personal life. The author is indebted to Prof. J. A. Carroll, in whose seminar at the University of Arizona this study was undertaken, for his assistance in the preparation of the final manuscript, and to Prof. Herman E. Bateman for suggestions toward the improvement of the first draft. The author is grateful to Mrs. Edith S. Kltt, secretary emeritus of the Arizona Pioneers* Historical Society, for allowing access to the Greenway Collection under her care at that institution, and to Totsy Belle Beatson and Nell B. Hand for their valuable advice and criticism. ABSTRACT The Progressive movement in Arizona was tied to the national leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. At its inception, the state organization led by John 0. Greenway and Dwight B. Heard showed promise. Roosevelt’s successor to the White House, William Howard Taft, had by his action on the Arizona Enabling Act split the Republican party in the ’’baby" state, thus promoting the early successes of the Bull Moose Move­ ment in Arizona. At the same time Taft had unwittingly provided Arizona Democrats with an issue on which to further establish their progresslvlsm. This proved to be the undoing of the new party. Unable to win increased Democratic support and to maintain a strong organization against the encroach­ ments of the Republican party, the Arizona Progressive Move­ ment was all but dead by 1916. In that year Roosevelt, Greenway, and Heard decided to abandon the movement in the face of the European upheaval. v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE PREFACE................................... ill I BIRTH OF A FRIENDSHIP..................... 1 II BIRTH OF A PARTY.......................... 12 III THE SPIRIT OF BUNKER HILL.................. 38 IV NO COMPROMISE, NO AMALGAMATION............... 6?

There is evidently a great shake-up in the Calumet and Arizona circles.Six months later such rumors ^Bisbee Dally Review. July 12, 1910, p. 1. 2Ibid.. January 30, 1910, p. 6. The occasion for the rumors was a sudden drop in the Calumet and Arizona stock. The Review pointed out that Thomas P. Cole, a director, and I. W. Powell, the superintendent, were to retire following a quarrel between themselves and the vice-presidents, James and Thomas Hbatson. A second rumor credited underground mining conditions as the reason for the impending change. , ^Will E. Tester to Charles V. Hicks, January 28, 1910. Papers of Charles W. Hicks, Arizona Historical Pioneers’ Society, Tucson, Arizona. Tester was apparently quite alarmed as his informer, one Arnold, claimed that they were all “scared stiff over their jobs.” To the writer the inference seems warranted that Greenway’s arrival was no accident. Thomas Ho at son denied any imminent changes in the management of the Calumet and Arizona. Por Hbatson* s denial see the Bisbee Dally Review. February 13, 1910, p. 8. 1 2 were confirmed when Colonel 1. W. Powell resigned and announced Greenway' s appointmentThe choice of Greenway no doubt was made because of the outstanding ability he had shown in the development of the mining property of the Calumet and Arizona on Minnesota's Iron Ridge and in the construction of the nearby towns of Coleraine, Marvel, and c Taconite. This appointment meant that he, like Powell, would be expected to exercise the political and economic prerogative of copper, to which he was no stranger, having served his apprenticeship as a monitor in Coleraine. He would now serve as prince, for in Arizona copper was king and suffered no equal.^ Position had come naturally to Greenway not by travel across the difficult terrain of experience, a course pursued by most men, but along the gentler slopes eased by a prepara­ tory education at St. Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachu­ setts, which his father, John Ohrlstain Greenway, a prominent ^Bisbee Daily Review.

At Andover, Greenway continued the military tradition begun by the famed Colonel William Campbell on King's Mountain in 1780 and passed on to him by his father, who had been a second lieutenant in the Confederate Army. Greenway's further education at the University of Virginia enhanced this heritage, as did the family removal to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where the young man moved readily into polite southern society and into increased contact with the new masters of the North and South.? A new spirit and a new energy was transforming the South, and it was natural that its post-war generation would turn to scientific arid technical persuits to restore its land and to open up new avenues to wealth and prestige.® Greenway reflected this change by enrolling in Sheffield Scientific School of Tale University.

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.

Universally recognized as one of the best presidents of the US, he can be said to have transformed in many ways the presidency to what it is today. When he was president from 1901 to 1909, his seemingly inexhaustible energy drove him to take a more active role as president than most of those before him. Famous are his trust-busting, the promotion of conservation and the passing of both the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act.
