Richard Chaffey Baker and the Shaping Of
Richard Chaffey Baker and the Shaping Rosemary Laing of the Senate It was Harry Evans who first introduced me to Sir Richard Chaffey Baker—or ‘Dickie’ Baker as he fondly called him—the first President of the Australian Senate. Baker, though a native-born South Australian, had been educated at Eton, Cambridge and Lincoln’s Inn, but had gone on to be an influential delegate at the constitutional conventions of the 1890s, bucking the standard colonial obeisance to all things Westminster. Like Tasmanian Andrew Inglis Clark and a few others, Baker questioned the very rationale of the theory of responsible government while promoting something rather more republican in character, though always under the British Crown.1 When the Senate Department’s major Centenary of Federation project, the four-volume Biographical Dictionary of the Australian Senate, began to get off the ground in the early 1990s under the indefatigable editorship of Ann Millar, four sample entries were prepared to illustrate how the project could be done and what the entries would look like. An entry on Baker, researched and written by Dr Margot Kerley, was one of those four pilot entries. Perhaps it was a strategic choice given Harry Evans’ great interest in the subject, but Harry needed little convincing that this was a worthwhile contribution to the history of federation and he remained the dictionary’s strongest supporter, particularly at Senate estimates. Harry also read all entries, continuing to do so even after retiring, bringing to the task his great critical faculties and his unrivalled knowledge of Australian political history.

PRG 88/7/1-122 Letters by Catherine Helen Spence to Alice Henry 1900-1910
__________________________________________________________ PRG 88/7/1-122 Letters by Catherine Helen Spence to Alice Henry 1900-1910 Transcribed by Dr Barbara Wall, Volunteer at the State Library of South Australia, 2010 Catherine Spence (1825-1910), Adelaide journalist, suffragist, tireless worker for women and children, celebrated campaigner for proportional representation, who wished above all to be thought of as a reformer, found a woman of like mind and interests in Alice Henry (1857-1943), a Melbourne journalist, women’s rights advocate and lecturer on female suffrage, who later moved to the USA where she became Secretary of the Chicago branch of the National Women’s Trade Union League of America. When Catherine Spence was passing through Melbourne in 1893 on her way to the United States to lecture on proportional representation and to attend the Charities, Correction and Philanthropy Congress held in Chicago in conjunction with the Chicago World Fair, Alice Henry made herself known to Spence. They had much in common: Scots background, interest in proportional representation, activities in journalism and reforms of all kinds. Their friendship meant a great deal to Spence who found in Henry someone who sympathised with her interests and to whom she could speak unreservedly. Their correspondence, for they were able to meet infrequently, covered many years. Henry preserved many of Spence’s letters to her and presented them to the State Library of South Australia. There are 122 items. They have been transcribed without alteration except for the addition of full stops where a following capital letter makes it clear that a sentence has ended.
