Jfch^-r^44~ ROLLIN S . WOODRUFF, Governor. Hon. R ollin Simmons Woodruff, Governor of Connecticut, was born in Rochester, Monroe County, New York, July 14, 1854. He traces his ancestry back to Matthew Woodruff, who came from England to America in 1636, and finds among his ancestors many representatives of that sturdy stock that made possible the beginnings of American history. His parents were Jeremiah Woodruff, a Presbyterian clergyman, and Clarisse (Thompson) Woodruff. He spent the early years of his life in a country village and when he was fifteen the family moved to New Haven, where he obtained his first position in life as errand boy in a hardware store. His education was limited to that of the public schools in his native town and a brief period of schooling in Lansing, Iowa, but his success in all he undertook was as complete and as rapid as that of any college man, for he had in him all the material that en ables a man to "make himself." He engaged in various financial and mercan tile enterprises in New Haven and after a number of years became interested in the firm of C. S. Mersick & Company, one of the most extensive iron and steel wholesale dealers in New England. He has been for many years a lead ing member of the firm and a controlling power of its large plant at New Haven. Hes i also a director in a number of corporations of the state. Always i ntensely interested in public affairs and an ardent supporter of the Republican platform, Governor Woodruff has held many public offices. He has been president of the Chamber of Commerce, State Senator in 1903, and during his senatorship he was president pro tem of the Senate, and in Hid", was Lieutenant-Governor of Connecticut, to which office he was elected by a large majority. Each office that he has held has added so greatly to the esteem in which Governor Woodruff is generally held that a still greater appreciation of his popularity and valuable service is prophesied.

  • Speakership Elections Since 1860: the Rise of the Organizational Caucus*
    Speakership Elections since 1860: The Rise of the Organizational Caucus* Jeffery A. Jenkins Department of Politics University of Virginia [email protected] Charles Stewart III Department of Political Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] [Authors’ Note: This paper represents a draft chapter (Chapter 7) of an in-progress book manuscript. As a result, the chapter builds on analyses and arguments in earlier chapters. This note is an attempt to provide readers with some quick-and-dirty background, so that the substance of this chapter makes more intuitive sense. The thrust of the book manuscript is twofold: (1) to examine how Congress was viewed as a instrument for mass party building in the antebellum era, via the control of House officer positions, namely the Speaker (who staffed committees and guided the policy process) but also the Printer (who was a great source of patronage and led the party’s propaganda efforts) and the Clerk (who controlled significant patronage and also wielded significant institutional power, especially at the start of a Congress); and (2) to document how control of the House’s initial organization was extremely difficult to achieve during the antebellum era. On this second point, an example is helpful: of the eleven speakership elections between 1839 and 1859, five required more than one ballot. And of those five, three were extremely contentious – choosing a speaker required three weeks and 61 ballots in 1849 (31st Congress), two months and 133 ballots in 1855-56 (34th Congress), and two months and 44 ballots in 1859-60 (36th Congress). Moreover, it was also not always possible to predict who would be elected an officer of the House even after the Speaker was chosen.
