Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

Trimble in Arkansas’s third congressional district in 1966. Much of the historiography addressing this election largely neglects the historic significance of Hammerschmidt’s successful campaign and the factors contributing to his victory. Instead, historians primarily write about the election of Republican Winthrop Rockefeller to the governor’s office that year.

  • Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930
    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.

  • The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas
    The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas Art English University of Arkansas at Little Rock This article examines the political styles of former U.S. Senators Dale Bumpers and David Pryor, both from Arkansas. It argues that both Pryor and Bumpers exhibited a representational style different from those of their regional colleagues and that this difference was in large part a product of the particular political culture of Arkansas. It also argues that the representational style of Bumpers and Pryor, intertwined with Arkansas’s political culture, has subsequently had a strong influence on the political and representational styles exhibited by both of Arkansas’s current United States Senators and that this Bumpers\Pryor model is likely to continue to influence the presentational and representational style of future members of the Arkansas congressional delegation. Introduction This article addresses the concept of senatorial political and representational style by focusing on two of Arkansas’s most renowned United States Senators: Dale Bumpers and David Pryor. Political style is particularly difficult to conceptualize and operationally apply because each political actor has unique political abilities and skills (English, 1993, 1997). Despite this intrinsic difficulty, congressional scholars have found that attention to stylistic differences across members provides rich insight into the institutional and member behaviors of Congress and that theory- building is not impossible (Mayhew; Sinclair; and Fenno, 1978). In addition, scholars have found that members of Congress pay attention to the norms and values of their constituencies’ political cultures in developing their representational styles. In particular, Richard Fenno has written most perceptively on the issues of political and representational styles in his classic work Home StyIe: House Members in Their District.
