CONCLUSIONS. ............................ 310 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY........................ 326 AUTOBIOGRAPHY. ..... ............................ 333 ABSTRACT W. Lee O ’Daniel, governor of Texas (1939-1941) championed the cause of social security legislation in the state. This study evaluates O ’Daniel's radio speaking in behalf of enabling legislation to finance the three social security amendments to the Texas Constitution approved by the voters in 1935. The study includes chapters on the historical back­ ground of the times, 0 ’Daniel’s image building, the broad­ casts from the Governor’s Mansion, the antecedent action, occasions, and speeches in behalf of social security legis­ lation. Fourteen radio addresses were examined with a par­ ticular consideration of their contribution to the ultimate solution of the social security problem in Texas, and to the furthering of the personal political career of the speaker. The primary source materials were the W. Lee O ’Daniel Papers and the W. Lee O ’Daniel Radio Scripts located in the Texas State Archives, Austin, Texas. Other sources included the House and Senate Journals of the Texas Legislature, 1939- 1941, an electrical transcription of an O ’Daniel broadcast, and official state documents. ix X Faced with the reality that Texas legislators were opposed to the passage of social security legislation and to him personally, O ’Daniel used his radio broadcasts as a means of coercing and intimidating the legislature into granting his demands. He was unable to attract major sup­ port with these tactics, but he was held in almost rever­ ential respect by his regular radio listeners. The gover­ nor was no logician, but he knew how to make himself cred­ ible to his audience

  • “Al” Alford State Historian
    BY: Garnel E. “Al” Alford State Historian INTRODUCTION The American Legion is a patriotic, nonmilitary, nonpartisan organization to which all of those who served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States of America during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Lebanon/Grenada, Panama and The Persian Gulf Wars from August 2, 1990 to the cessation of hostilities as determined by the U.S. Government, are eligible for membership. This Organization thrives today by the efforts put forth by a group of officers who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in France in World War II, who are credited with planning the Legion, The American Expeditionary Forces Headquarters asked these officers to ideas on how to improve troop morale. One officer, Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., proposed an organization of veterans. In February 1919, this group formed a temporary committee and selected several hundred officers who had the confidence and respect of the whole Army. The American Legion was born at a caucus of the American Expeditionary Force (A.E.F.) in Paris, France. This caucus was the result of a proposal by Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., to a group of representatives of the A.E.F. division and service units.
