    Dear Friends of the Ramsey County Historical Society, We hope you are well, and your family is in good health and good spirits in this challenging time. The staff, board, and volunteers at Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS) are safe and busy working remotely. We are commi"ed to retaining our talented staff, and there is a great deal of work to do even if we are not open to the public. We will come out the other side of this pandemic, and students and adults will still need the resources we provide. In the meantime, we have increased available content online through the web- site as well as via our Facebook page. If you are not already following RCHS on Facebook, do so today to access a variety of history posts. Please tell your friends to do the same! Construction of the very first year-round education space at Gibbs Farm is con- tinuing! This critical project is transforming our Red Barn from an uninsulated, seasonal space into a year-round facility that will increase our capacity by 3,000 students annually. We are grateful to the Katherine B. Andersen Fund for a match- ing grant of $45,000 to help close the gap on the project—we are still accepting up to $40,000 in pledges, payable over the next two years to secure this matching grant and ensure the entire project is completed as planned. Please contact Chad Chad Roberts Roberts at [email protected] to participate in this project. We strongly encourage you to explore the 3D tours of the Gibbs farmhouse and one-room schoolhouse—these are outstanding resources created by the Gibbs team with the assistance of Nienow Cultural Resources.

    Results of Elections Attorneys General 1857

    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL 1857 - 2014 ------- ※------- COMPILED BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP ------- ※------- (2016) 1 FOREWORD The Office of Attorney General of Minnesota is established by the constitution; its duties are set by the legislature; and its occupant is chosen by the voters. 1 The first question any historian of the office confronts is this: why is the attorney general elected and not appointed by the governor? Those searching for answers to this question will look in vain in the debates of the 1857 constitutional convention. That record is barren because there was a popular assumption that officers of the executive and legislative branches of the new state government would be elected. This expectation was so deeply and widely held that it was not even debated by the delegates. An oblique reference to this sentiment was uttered by Lafayette Emmett, a member of the Democratic wing of the convention, during a debate on whether the judges should be elected: I think that the great principle of an elective Judiciary will meet the hearty concurrence of the people of this State, and it will be entirely unsafe to go before any people in this enlightened age with a Constitution which denies them the right to elect all the officers by whom they are to be governed. 2 Contemporary editorialists were more direct and strident. When the convention convened in St. Paul in July 1857, the Minnesota Republican endorsed an elected judiciary and opposed placing appointment power in the chief executive: The less we have of executive patronage the better.

His father was a farmer. He recalled having the sort of idyllic youth that Midwestern writers have recalled time and again yet he never forgot his family’s roots in the soil. When debating an immigration bill in the House of Representatives in 1914, he declared, “I am a farmer’s son, one of a race of toilers. I carry the marks of hard work, the awkwardness of the country, upon me. My heart is with the struggling poor. I confess some bitterness toward the hypocrites who cover wicked greed by a cloak of wealth and good-mannered respectability. I do not hate wealth and capital as such. I hate the abuse of power.” 1 His first thirty years are covered in the first four pages of his autobiography.

    REVIEWS OF BOOKS The Irrepressible Conflict, 1850—1865 (A History of American Life, vol. 7). By ARTHUR CHARLES COLE, professor of history, Western Reserve University. (New York, The Macmillan Company, 1934. xv, 468 p. Illustrations. $4.00.) In The Irrepressible Conflict Professor Cole has produced another of those volumes of American Life which attempt to depict the life of a people in its multifarious aspects without recourse to " history " as it has so long been viewed. Needless to remark, as has been said in most of the reviews of the volumes which have previously appeared, this is a difficult task. No one can appreciate " history," the recon­ struction of the past, by reading alone; he must bring a generous measure of imagination to the task and fill in from his own experience the gaps necessarily left in any narrative. Without this individual contribution of the reader the strongest efforts of the historian fail to effect their purpose. If, however, the author provides sufficient stimu­ lus, paints enough of the background, the task of reconstruction is simplified and the reader can be carried along, reliving another period with a minimum of personal endeavor. The test, then, of an example of the " new history's " success lies in whether the author has brought to the reader enough of descrip­ tive detail to make reconstruction simple — practically unconscious or subconscious — and yet has abstained from dragging in so much material that the reader becomes bogged. To a considerable degree The Irrepressible Conflict meets the test. It does not require an undue amount of contribution by the reader to feel himself back in the days when the clash of two economic systems was hovering near, nor to get something of what life must have meant to those who lived through the Civil War.

    The Minnesota Historical Society in 1936 / [Theodore C. Blegen]

    THE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN 1936^ The Minnesota Historical Society Is a living and growing institution, and its annual report must therefore be more than a mere chronicle of happenings or tabulation of work done. It must appraise life and growth, take stock of the service of the society to the people of the state, test the effectiveness with which it Is meeting opportunities and challenges, gauge its alertness to new trends, and demon­ strate the continuity of Its emphasis upon old and funda­ mental tasks. In this spirit we contemplate a year marked by an increased tempo of effort and progress and by un­ usual expansion of service — a year of long-range planning, co-operation with the national government and with local communities, broad surveys, and a drive toward a better organization of resources and knowledge. A lively popular interest, excellent attendance, and pro­ grams of good quality have characterized the society's several meetings. The program of the eighty-seventh an­ nual meeting, held on January 16, ranged in its several ses­ sions from a conference on local history problems to an address on "Our National Archives," delivered by Dr. R. D. W. Connor, the archivist of the United States. The annual "peripatetic seminar," as someone has aptly called the summer tour and convention, was a one-day trip, on June 27, exploiting the historical backgrounds and scenic beauties of the St. Croix Valley, with program sessions at Hastings, Stillwater, Interstate Park, and Marine. The "motorcade" included three chartered busses and a half- hundred cars, and one of the sessions attracted an audience 'A report presented at the afternoon session of the eighty-eighth an­ nual meeting of the Minnesota Historical Society in the Historical Build­ ing, St.
