  • CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida First Emerged on the Presidential
    CHAPTER 8 FLORIDA Florida first emerged on the presidential primary scene in 1988, when it was one of the southern states that participated in the first-ever Super Tuesday. Four years later, in 1992, Florida was propelled to the front rank of important primary states when the news media selected it for the final showdown between Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas and former- U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. In the 1992 race for the Democratic nomination for president, Paul Tsongas got off to a fast start by winning the New Hampshire primary. Tsongas next won the Maryland primary, but that same day Bill Clinton swept to victory in the southern state of Georgia. The two candidates thus were running neck and neck when they faced off against one another in Florida on the second Tuesday in March. Although located in the South and one of the states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War, Florida is not considered a typical southern state by voting-behavior analysts. The major reason for this is the large number of former northern voters who have moved to South Florida, either to retire or to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. These former northerners were viewed as ripe targets for the Paul Tsongas campaign. His heavy Massachusetts accent would not sound quite so strange to them, and his New Hampshire and Maryland primary victories already had demonstrated his strong appeal to people from the northern part of the nation. Furthermore, in the 1988 presidential elec- tion, Florida had voted for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, like Tsongas a Greek from Massachusetts.

  • Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960S Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft
    Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: JREP-D-16-00087R1 Full Title: Proudly for Brooke: Race-Conscious Campaigning in 1960s Massachusetts Article Type: Research Article Corresponding Author: Richard Johnson Oxford University Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: Oxford University Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Richard Johnson First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Richard Johnson Order of Authors Secondary Information: Abstract: Scholars have credited the victory of Edward Brooke, America's first popularly elected black United States senator, to a 'deracialised' or 'colour-blind' election strategy in which both the candidate and the electorate ignored racial matters. This article revises this prevailing historical explanation of Brooke's election. Drawing from the historical- ideational paradigm of Desmond King and Rogers Smith, this paper argues that Brooke was much more of a 'race-conscious' candidate than is generally remembered. Primary documents from the 1966 campaign reveal that Brooke spoke openly against racial inequality, arguing in favour of racially targeted policies and calling for stronger racial equality legislation. In addition, this paper argues that Brooke's appeals were not targeted primarily to the state's small black population but to liberal whites. Far from ignoring race, internal campaign documents and interviews with campaign staff reveal that Brooke's campaign strategists sought to appeal to white desires to 'do the right thing' by electing an African American. Internal polling documents from the Brooke campaign and newspaper commentaries further demonstrate that a proportion of the white electorate cited Brooke's race as the reason for supporting his candidacy.

    PAUL TSONGAS AND THE BATTLES OVER ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, 1974-1980 By DANE MORRIS NETHERTON A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of History MAY 2004 © Copyright by DANE MORRIS NETHERTON, 2004 All Rights Reserved ii To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of DANE MORRIS NETHERTON find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. _____________________________ Chair _____________________________ _____________________________ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Probably nobody deserves more thanks than the subject of this dissertation. Like the people I interviewed for this project, I was inspired by Paul Tsongas. In this jaded, cynical era, he showed that honest, capable, highly intelligent people participate in politics at the highest levels. I feel very fortunate to have spent this time studying his life and work. I also feel fortunate to have interviewed some of his staff and associates. Tsongas seemed to draw intelligent, driven, committed people to work for and with him. Richard Arenberg, Patrick D’Addario, Fred Faust, Roy F. Jones, Robert Pratt, and Mitch Tyson each gave me valuable insights into the political process and into Tsongas. They made my work much easier and pleasant as well. My dissertation committee was supportive throughout this project, working with me through tight deadlines to see it through to completion. Professors LeRoy Ashby, Susan Armitage, and Noriko Kawamura all provided me with inspiration, valuable mentoring, and an exceptional grounding in the profession. I'd like to thank professor Ashby in particular, who provided valuable guidance and was willing to work with me on this project despite the technical challenges involved.

The first Town Meeting of the new Town of Andover was convened April 23, 1855. At this meeting new Selectmen were elected and it was voted that Selectmen also act as Assessors and Overseers of the Poor. The first elected Board of Selectmen included George Foster, Enoch Frye, III, and Jonas Holt. The following list of Selectmen was compiled at the request of former Town Manager Ken Mahony on the occasion of the move to the new Town Offices in 1984. Colonel Edward M. Harris, a former member of the Board of Selectmen, researched the list in the Fall of 1983, shortly before his death. Town staff, Alice Flanders and Barbara Gaunt, assisted in compiling the photos. Selectman Gail L. Ralston updated the photos in 1988, and took on the project once again in 2011 at the urging of Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski, adding biographies culled from newspaper articles, town reports, and personal submissions.
