  • G:\Trimble Families, July 22, 1997.Wpd
    Trimble Families a Partial Listing of the Descendants of Some Colonial Families Revised Eugene Earl Trimble July 22, 1997 1 PREFACE This Trimble record deals primarily with the ancestral line of the writer and covers the period from the time of arrival of James Trimble (or Turnbull; born ca. 1705; died 1767) in America which may have been prior to March 11, 1734, until in most instances about 1850. Some few lines are, however, brought up to the present. The main purpose of this account is to present the earliest generations. With the census records from 1850 on, enumerating each individual, it is much easier to trace ancestors and descendants. Any one who has researched a family during the l700's knows how limited the available data are and how exceeding difficult the task is. One inevitably reaches the point where the search becomes more conjecture than fact, but man is an inquisitive creature and the lure of the unknown is irresistible. No attempt has been made to give all possible references. For this Trimble line and other Trimble lines the reader is referred to the 62 page manuscript on the Trimble Family by James Augustus LeConte (born Adairsville, Ga., July 19, 1870; died Atlanta, Ga., July 18, 1941) whose papers are at the University of Georgia at Athens; the Trimble Family research located in the Manuscript Department of The University of Virginia, by Kelley Walker Trimble (born Feb. 21, 1884; died Route l, Staunton, Va., after Feb. 12, 1955); the Trimble and related research and writings of Mrs. Jerome A.

Then there are the Colonel House papers, edited by Professor Charles Seymour of Yale, and the Page letters, both largely about Wilson, but dealing primarily with the War and other international matters of his administrations* The list Is by no means complete* It would be next to Impossible to catalogue all that has been written about him in magazines and elsewhere# The Wilson alcove in the Princeton Library doubtless approaches most nearly the complete collection* H^ Recently Ray Stannard Baker has published the first two volumes of a four-volume work, entitled •'Woodrow Wilson, Life T*5=7 and Letters•* The first volume bears the sub-title ^outh11 dealing with his life through 1889 when he was called to Princeton, and the second, ••Princeton/1 which covers the period from 1890 to 1910* This work is largely a compilation, being based upon an enormous mass of correspondence and other docu- T7 ments which President Wilson had accumulated, and which he left to expressly to Baker as his chosen biographer* i i M0338 Box24 Folderl 9 1928-04-02 001 The second volume of the Baker work entitled ••Princeton* covers in a most interesting way the intense and dramatic struggles of the President

  • What Did the Direct Primary Do to Party Loyalty in Congress?1
    WHAT DID THE DIRECT PRIMARY DO TO PARTY LOYALTY IN CONGRESS?1 Stephen Ansolabehere Department of Political Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Shigeo Hirano Department of Politics New York University and Center for the Study of Democratic Politics Princeton University James M. Snyder, Jr. Department of Political Science and Department of Economics Massachusetts Institute of Technology March, 2004 1Professor Ansolabehere and Professor Snyder thank the National Science Foundation for its generous ¯nancial support. We thank Gary Jacobsen, John Huber, and seminar participants at Columbia University for their helpful comments. Abstract Between 1890 and 1920, most states adopted the direct primary as the method for nominat- ing candidates for the U. S. House. It was widely thought at the time that this mechanism would produce greater independence from the parties inside the legislature, would increase the defeat rate of sitting incumbents who were party stalwarts, and would produce greater independence of candidates from their parties in the general elections; this would take the form of decreased party loyalty in the legislature, and increased split ticket voting in the electorate. In this paper, we examine the panel of elections and roll call votes from 1890 to 1920 and ¯nd some evidence for these conjectures. Loyalty in Congress did fall among a state's congressional delegation following the introduction of the primary. Also, incumbent defeat rates for renomination and split ticket voting increased in states that introduced the primaries compared with states that did not. The data reveal, however, suggest that the pri- maries were not transformative. The e®ects of primaries on loyalty and elections, although statistically signi¯cant, they are quite modest and likely had only marginal e®ects on con- gressional politics, with one important exception.

Smith* Listen with care to this, now, and a god will arm your mind. Square in your ship 's path are Seirenes, crying beauty to bewitch men coasting by; woe to the innocent who hears that sound,1 INTRODUCTION After the elections of 1996, it is clear that the campaign finance regulation system for federal elections is not working. At the presidential level, the system is in danger of becoming a mockery. Despite spending limits designed to keep campaign costs lower, it is estimated that, upon final tally, some $800 million will actually have been legally spent on the 1996 presidential race.2 At the con- gressional level, parties, candidates and interest groups have learned how to work around legal restrictions on contributions. The result is an increasingly dishonest campaign in which advertisements touting candidates are used for "party building," advertisements intended to help elect or defeat candidates pretend not to advocate such outcomes, and parties are forced to campaign independently of their candidates.3 * The author is an Associate Professor of Law at Capital University Law School and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.

  • Reforming the Presidential Nominating Process
    REFORMING THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING PROCESS PAUL T. DAVID* It is the function of the presidential nominating process to identify the candidates who can be made the subject of a presidential election; it is the function of the general election to make the final choice. Because of this characteristic difference in function, the nominating process differs from the general election process in respects that are fundamental to the manner in which each should be conducted. An election for President, as long as the two-party system holds together, is essenti- ally a choice between two candidates, each of whom was formally identified some time in advance, has become familiar to the voters through active campaigning, and has the support in the election of a permanently organized national political party. None of these features is true of the nominating process. It has to begin in the first place by ascertaining the alternatives among whom a choice may be made, seldom deals with a choice between two candidates and only two, frequently involves a comparison between some candidates who are well known and others who are little known and goes on inside the political party from which support will be obtained-after the choice has been made. Much of what is most important in the nominating process occurs before there is any short list of definite candidates on whom to concentrate attention. These aspects of the process will be neglected here, moving on immediately to special char- acteristics of the nominating choice that become apparent after the field of candidates for a party nomination has become relatively clear.' SOME CHARACTErISTICs OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING CHOICE I.
