The United States Signal Service has first-class stations established at Alpena, Detroit, Escanaba, Grand Haven, Mackinaw City, Marquette and Port Huron, and special display stations for the exhibition of cautionary and weather signals at Bay City, Charlevoix, East Tawas, Elk Rapids, Frank- fort, Ludington, Fort Mackinac, Manistee, Menominee, Montague, Muske- gon, Northport, Pentwater, Petoskey, St. Ignace, St. Joseph, Sand Beach, South Haven and Traverse City. The station at Detroit also prints Farm- ers' Bulletins. The cost of these stations, exclusive of the pay of the observ- ers, was, during the fiscal year, 1883-4 but $2,919. The cautionary signal is a black square in the center of a white flag and indicates the approach of a cold wave or northwest storm. The general weather signals are also white flags with various figures, as follows: red cir- cle or sphere, indicating higher temperature; red star, stationary tempera- ture; red moon, lower temperature; blue circle or sphere, general rain or snow; blue star, local rain or snow; blue moon, clear or fair weather. The red colors indicate temperature and the blue colors weather and the signals are combined accordingly. In Canada and some of the States these signals are used on railroad trains displayed on the sides of the baggage cars but have not yet been adopted by the Michigan roads. The calculations in the almanac are made according to Central Standard Time, or that of the ninetieth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich, which is also the legal time of Michigan. The local or solar time of any particular place differs from Central Standard Time according to its longi- tude, being four minutes earlier or later for each degree of longitude east or west of the ninetieth meridian. A slight difference also results from difference of latitude varying with the seasons.

    OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVISM, 1901-1917 By GEORGE O. CARNE~ // . Bachelor of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1964 Master of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1965 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1972 OKLAHOMA STATE UNiVERSITY LIBRARY MAY 30 1973 ::.a-:r...... ... ~·· .. , .• ··~.• .. ,..,,.·· ,,.,., OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVIS~, 1901-1917 Thesis Approved: Oean of the Graduate College PREFACE This dissertation is a study for a single state, Oklahoma, and is designed to test the prevailing Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis concerning progressivism. The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives.

President Tyler submitted the Texas treaty to the United States Senate. sending with it scores of official documents and a catalog of arguments in (avor of annexation.' He offered evidence of popular support within Texas itself for annexation. He also argued that Britain had designs on Texas which, if allowed to mature, would pose Ii serious threat tu the South's "peculiar institution.'" According to Tyler, the annexation of Texas would be a blessing to the whole nation. Because Texas would most likely concentrate its e.fforts on raising cotton, the North and West would find there a market fOl" horses, beef, and wheat. Among the most important of the obvious advantages was security from outside interference with the institution of slavery, especially from British abolition· ists, who were working to get Texas to abolish slavery.

  • A History of the Lieutenant Governor's Office S209

    A History of the Lieutenant Governor's Office S209

    A History of A History of The Office of the Adjutant, Quartermaster, The Lieutenantand Inspector Governor’s Generals Office S209 S105 The Lieutenant Governor The modern office of the Lieutenant Governor is rare in that it is still used by the office holder for which it was originally designed. Architect Elijah E. Myers located the suite on the second floor to the immediate south of the Senate Chamber, as the Lieutenant Gover- nor has always served as a presiding officer of the Michigan Senate. The Capitol’s original floor plans indicate that the office originally consisted of only two rooms: an office (now S209) and a small adjoining washroom and water closet (now S209B). The Secretary of the Senate worked next door. Interestingly, Myers’s floor plans also assigned the Lieutenant Governor a small apartment located on the basement (or ground) floor in the west wing where he could stay during legislative sessions. This unique suite, the only one of its kind proposed for the Capitol, was to contain a dining room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. Ultimately this scheme was scrapped, and the space used as storerooms and offices. The first Lieutenant Governor to work in the present Capitol was Mr. Alonzo Sessions, a native New Yorker who came to Michigan in 1833 to acquire land. Two years later he began farming in Ionia County, where he eventually held several local offices and positions including Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Ionia County Sheriff, and President of the First National Bank of Ionia. In 1856 Michigan’s present Capitol, the state’s third, opened on January 1, 1879, to great acclaim.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush Compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html. The first site will be updated first and more frequently, while the second site will be more stable. William Addams Reitwiesner [email protected] Ancestry of George W. Bush George Walker Bush, b.
