Scope and Content Note The papers of Joseph Patrick Tumulty (1879-1954) span the years 1898-1969, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1913-1940. They consist primarily of correspondence, letterbooks, legal material, and drafts of speeches and writings. Those papers received and organized by the Library in the 1960s are arranged and described as Set I of the General Correspondence, Special Correspondence, and Miscellany series in the collection and are predominantly concerned with Tumulty's White House years. Additions to the papers, with the exception of letterbooks and a “Black Book” of patronage, emphasize Tumulty's post-White House years, 1922-1940, when, as a Washington lawyer, he assumed an active role in Democratic Party politics. The collection is organized into nine series: Family Correspondence, General Correspondence, Special Correspondence, Letterbooks, Subject File, Legal Case File, Speeches and Writings File, Miscellany, and Oversize. Joseph P. Tumulty Papers 4 During his years as presidential secretary, Tumulty exercised the duties that in later administrations were apportioned to more than a dozen specialized advisers. The General Correspondence and Special Correspondence series reflect his wide- ranging contacts with prominent personalities in the theater and the press as well as with nationally known government officials and politicians. Perhaps the most important file in the Special Correspondence is that relating to Woodrow Wilson. Other special correspondents represented by substantial amounts of material include John T. Barnett, Bernard M. Baruch, William Jennings Bryan, James M. Cox, Joseph Edward Davies, James A. Farley, John Nance Garner, Edward Mandell House, Edward N. Hurley, Warren F. Johnson, James Kerney, Charles Lynch, W. G. McAdoo, William Frank McCombs, Arthur J. Sinnott, Alfred Emanuel Smith, and Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. The most fruitful single source of documentation for Tumulty's years as Wilson's secretary is found in the Letterbooks. Though mostly routine, the content provides insight into Tumulty's role in dispensing patronage and also reveals the style and manner in which he carried out his duties as secretary and adviser. Tumulty never severed his interest in local New Jersey politics, and the Special Correspondence and General Correspondence reveal his continued relationship with figures of local political influence. Tumulty's early political training as a Hudson County assemblyman to the New Jersey legislature (1907-1910) left a lasting impress on him. His use of patronage is well documented in the so-called “Black Book” in the Miscellany that provides biographical information on candidates for political appointments. Tumulty's post-White House years are equally well documented in the papers. Many of his personal traits emerge in his letters to close friends and former colleagues. He often assumed the debts of others as shown in the Family Correspondence and under various headings in the Subject File. Set II of the Special Correspondence contains material that demonstrates Tumulty's sensitivity to a need for reconciling political ambitions and tactics with religious and philosophical precepts. Though he declined to run for political office, he continued to give advice to political friends after

  • Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns
    Saving for Democracy University Press Scholarship Online Oxford Scholarship Online Thrift and Thriving in America: Capitalism and Moral Order from the Puritans to the Present Joshua Yates and James Davison Hunter Print publication date: 2011 Print ISBN-13: 9780199769063 Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: May 2012 DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.001.0001 Saving for Democracy Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns Kiku Adatto DOI:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.003.0016 Abstract and Keywords This chapter recounts the war bond campaign of the Second World War, illustrating a notion of thrift fully embedded in a social attempt to serve the greater good. Saving money was equated directly with service to the nation and was pitched as a duty of sacrifice to support the war effort. One of the central characteristics of this campaign was that it enabled everyone down to newspaper boys to participate in a society-wide thrift movement. As such, the World War II war bond effort put thrift in the service of democracy, both in the sense that it directly supported the war being fought for democratic ideals and in the sense that it allowed the participation of all sectors in the American war effort. This national ethic of collective thrift for the greater good largely died in the prosperity that followed World War II, and it has not been restored even during subsequent wars in the latter part of the 20th century. Keywords: Second World War, war bonds, thrift, democracy, war effort Page 1 of 56 PRINTED FROM OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP ONLINE (www.oxfordscholarship.com).

Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major-Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Michael Leggiere, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Gleason, Mark C. From Associates to Antagonists: The United States, Great Britain, the First World War, and the Origins of WAR PLAN RED, 1914-1919. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 178 pp., bibliography, 144 titles. American military plans for a war with the British Empire, first discussed in 1919, have received varied treatment since their declassification. The most common theme among historians in their appraisals of WAR PLAN RED is that of an oddity. Lack of a detailed study of Anglo- American relations in the immediate post-First World War years makes a right understanding of the difficult relationship between the United States and Britain after the War problematic. As a result of divergent aims and policies, the United States and Great Britain did not find the diplomatic and social unity so many on both sides of the Atlantic aspired to during and immediately after the First World War. Instead, United States’ civil and military organizations came to see the British Empire as a fierce and potentially dangerous rival, worthy of suspicion, and planned accordingly. Less than a year after the end of the War, internal debates and notes discussed and circulated between the most influential members of the United States Government, coalesced around a premise that became the rationale for WAR PLAN RED.

  • The Mystery of the Woodrow Wilson Photograph... by Gordon Bond
    The Mystery of the Woodrow Wilson Photograph... by Gordon Bond nowing my interest in all things having to do with New Jersey history, as well as the history of photography, my wife, Stephanie K Hoagland, clipped a picture out of the February 12, 2012 issue of The Star-Ledger and gave it to me. Admittedly, I noted it briefly and promptly added it to the piles sitting on my desk for several months as something to “get-to-one-of-these -days.” Looking for material for the June 2012 issue of GSL, I at last picked it up and really took a close look . and thus begun a little quest to discover Click the picture for the NJ.com link. the story behind that image. The short of it is summarized in the caption the Star Ledger reporter, Gregg Hatala, placed under it. It was submitted by Mary Seymour of Cranford. The photograph shows President Woodrow Wilson and a crowd of other men and was taken May 1, 1913 when Wilson visited Elizabeth, New Jersey. But what was more interesting was the claim it made to being “the first outdoor night flash light” photograph “ever taken.” Wow, I thought—could this really be another little-known New Jersey first? That seemed a little fantastic of a claim, but even if it wasn’t true, what was the President doing in Elizabeth? And, could I identify any of the men in the photograph? Wow, I As a fun project, I decided to make some short videos of the process of researching these questions, posting them to GSL’s Facebook and YouTube thought— pages—rather than just me writing and you reading, I wanted to invite folks to sort of “come along for the ride” of historical research (see the could this YouTube links at the end of this article).

  • Chapter 3 the Creation of the US Tariff Commission
    Chapter 3 The Creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission Photo: Frank Taussig, the first Commission Chairman. Page | 71 Chapter 3: The Creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission W. Elliot Brownlee155 Introduction The great movement for economic and political reform that swept the nation in the early 20th century—the movement that historians commonly refer to as “progressivism”—provided the impetus for the creation of the U.S. Tariff Commission. At the national level, the progressive movement had as one of its major targets the tariff system that had emerged from the American Civil War. The high-water mark of progressive reform of tariffs was the enactment in 1913 of the Underwood-Simmons Tariff Act as a central expression of the “New Freedom” agenda that President Woodrow Wilson had championed in his successful bid for the presidency in 1912. (The sponsors of the act were Oscar W. Underwood, a Democratic Representative from Alabama, and Furnifold M. Simmons, a Democratic Senator from North Carolina.) In framing this agenda Wilson called for sweeping reforms that would constrain corporate power and expand economic opportunities for middle-class Americans. The result was an unprecedented burst of federal legislation. It began with the Underwood-Simmons Tariff (referred to below as the Underwood Tariff) and was followed in short order by the Federal Reserve Act (1913), the Federal Trade Commission Act (1914), and the Clayton Antitrust Act (1914). In the process of enacting these measures Wilson displayed more effective executive leadership than had any another President since Abraham Lincoln. And, the measures themselves permanently expanded the role of the federal government in the economy and, at the same time, enhanced the power of the executive branch.

  • Law, Politics, and the New Deal(S)
    Law, Politics, and the New Deal(s) Laura Kalman I. INTRODUCTION The metaphor of fatigue permeates the debate over the constitutional history of the New Deal. Prior to the publication of Bruce Ackerman's We the People: Transformations, the disagreement pitted "internalist" law professors, such as Barry Cushman and Richard Friedman,1 against "externalist" historians, such as William E. Leuchtenburg and myself.2 Now comes Ackerman, who, picking up on the metaphor of fatigue used by some of the participants,3 urges us to drop "the old and tired debate." 4 t Professor of History, University of California, Santa Barbara. I am very grateful to Bruce Ackerman, John Morton Blum, W. Elliot Brownlee, Barry Cushman, James Fleming, Barry Friedman, W. Randall Garr, John Jordan, Pnina Lahav, John Henry Schlegel, Gregory Silbert, and G. Edward White for their help with this Article. I also appreciate the opportunity to have presented it at Yale and the University of Texas Law Schools and the comments I received on those occasions. 1.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

For example, if your business was registered in 2006, look for a number that starts in 2006. That's your filing number. Call or email the Secretary of State's office to request a filing number for your company. Take your full name, company name, address and tax identification number. Office staff will look for a room and give it to you. Secretaries ease the burden on the managers they support by taking on a wide range of clerical and administrative tasks.
