Charles G. Dawes Archive Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Library, Evanston, Illinois 60208-2300 Charles G. Dawes Archive Biography: Charles Gates Dawes (1865-1951), prominent in U.S. politics and business, served as Comptroller of the Currency (1898-1901), director of the Military Board of Allied Supply (1918-1919), and first director of the Bureau of the Budget (1921). He received a Nobel Peace Prize as chairman of the Reparations Commission which restructured Germany's economy and devised a repayment plan (1924). He was elected Vice-President (1925- 1929), and appointed ambassador to England (1929-1931) and chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (1932). Charles and his brothers founded Dawes Brothers Incorporated. Dawes formed the Central Trust Co. in Chicago (1902), guided its successor banks, and was influential in Chicago business, politics, and philanthropy until his death. Charles Gates Dawes was born and educated in Ohio. He married Caro Blymyer in 1889, practiced law, and incorporated a real estate business in Lincoln, Nebraska, before moving to Evanston, Illinois in 1895. He acquired utility companies and real estate in northern Illinois and Wisconsin; and in 1908, with his brothers Henry, Rufus, and Beman, formed Dawes Brothers Incorporated, to invest assets in banks, oil companies and real estate throughout the country. Various acquaintances who were prominent in political and industrial affairs trusted them to manage their investments as well. Other companies in which Charles Dawes and his brothers played leading roles included Chicago's Central Trust Co. and its successor banks and Pure Oil Company of Ohio. Dawes made significant philanthropic contributions to the Chicago metropolitan community. He solicited major financial support for food distribution to the unemployed during Chicago recessions between 1908 and 1911; founded and financed two hotels in Chicago and one in Boston for homeless men and women; supported the Chicago Grand Opera company, the American Symphony Orchestra, and various musical organizations and musicians; and donated to countless organizations and individuals. His personal interest in music led him to compose at least two pieces for violin and piano. "Melody in A" has had eleven copyrights and was made famous by adaptations "Let Me Dream" and "It's All in the Game." Scope and Content : The Charles Gates Dawes Archive consists of personal, business and political correspondence received by Dawes and drafts or copies of his correspondence written between 1884 and 1951; manuscripts of most of Dawes' journals, speeches, essays and books; some personal and company financial records, including those of the Dawes Hotels and Dawes Brothers Incorporated; annual reports and records of various companies and organizations; newspaper clippings, memorabilia, and scrapbooks related to Dawes' accomplishments and interests; political ephemera and photographs. Books, pamphlets and serials found in the archive have been cataloged for the Dawes collection and may be found in the online catalog. Provenance : All materials in the Charles Gates Dawes Archive were donated by Dawes or his family after his death in 1951. Restrictions : There are no restrictions on use of the materials in the department for research; all patrons must comply with federal copyright regulations. Processor : Preliminary processing was completed by Northwestern University Library staff before 1960. A detailed inventory and revisions to the finding aid have been made by Sigrid Pohl Perry between 1994 and 2009.

Our efforts to conserve and preserve this magniBicent estate located in our backyard, unites us with citizens of Sitges on the other side of the Atlantic. Those who went on our fundraising cruise in April experienced the small town of Sitges’ gratitude to the memory of the Town’s Adopted Son, Charles Deering. One hundred and ten years from the time Deering Birst visited Sitges, we were welcomed like long lost family with choral songs, champagne, and stories of the beloved adopted son’s vision, philanthropy and economic contributions. The stories we share are similar, like here in Cutler, Deering built an “architectural gem” in Sitges and Billed it at the time President Maria and husband David toast a very successful fundraiser with art by renowned artists. The town’s warm cruise to Spain…with side trips to Sitges and Tamarit. welcome given to us was inspiring because it demonstrates their deep “If we love, and we do, appreciation for Charles Deering’s vision and legacy which we both strive to what Charles Deering preserve. I highly encourage you to participate in any future trips where we seek to bequeathed us…If we further understand Charles Deering’s legacy, whether here in Miami, Chicago or consider it to be so Spain.

  • Synopsis of American Political Parties
    Synopsis of American Political Parties FEDERALISTS DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICANS Favored strong central gov't emphasized states' rights Social order & stability important Stressed civil liberties & public trust "True patriots vs. the subversive rabble" "Rule of all people vs. the favored few" "Loose" constructionists "Strict" constructionists Promoted business & manufacturing Encouraged agrarian society Favored close ties with Britain Admired the French Strongest in Northeast Supported in South & West Gazette of the United States (John Fenno) National Gazette (Philip Freneau) Directed by Hamilton (+ Washington) Founded by Jefferson (+ Madison) First Two-Party System: 1780s-1801 During most of George Washington's presidency, no real two-party political system existed. The Constitution made no provision whatever for political parties. While its framers recognized that reasonable disagreement and organized debate were healthy components in a democratic society, creation of permanent factions was an extreme to be avoided. (The consensus among the founding fathers was that political parties were potentially dangerous because they divided society, became dominated by narrow special interests, and placed mere party loyalty above concern for the common welfare.) Hence, to identify Washington with the Federalist Party is an ex post facto distinction. Accordingly, Washington's first "election" is more accurately described as a "placement"; his second election was procedural only. The first presidential challenge whereby the citizenry genuinely expressed choice between candidates affiliated with two separate parties occurred in 1896, when John Adams won the honor of following in Washington's footsteps. The cartoon above shows the infamous brawl in House of Representatives between Democratic-Republican Matthew Lyon of Vermont and Federalist Roger Griswold from Connecticut.
