    2 The Goodland Daily News / Monday, November 25, 2002 commentary from other pens... The room where FDR tracked World War II One look at the walls in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s top-secret World War II Map Room was enough to convey an accurate sense of the world- wide ebb and flow of the land and naval forces of the United States, its allies and their enemies. Formerly a place where presidential gifts were unwrapped, the White House Map Room was lined with large-scale military maps. Troop positions were marked in grease pencil on the clear-plastic overlays. Black pushpins located German ships. Orange, gray, blue and red pins charted the positions of Japanese, Italian, U.S. and British vessels. The Map Room is etched in the memory of George Elsey, an 84-year- old veteran of three presidential administrations. Sixty years ago, Navy Lt. Elsey and a team of junior Navy and Army officers staffed the Map Room 24 hours a day. With the president as their chief client, the room became a quiet center of American power in the midst of history’s great- est war. From here, FDR followed American troops advancing up the boot of Italy, punching through France and landing on the sandy beaches of Pacific islands. “One glance at the map showing the convoys heading toward the coast of Africa would tell the story,” Elsey said earlier this month as he shared his memories at a conference convened by the White House Historical Association. The private side of Russia Because of the room’s secret nature no photographs or diaries were permitted.

  • 48 Kansas History “You Have to Like PEOPLE”
    Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 30 (Spring 2008): 48–67 48 Kansas History “you have TO LIKE PEOPLE” A Conversation with Former Governor William H. Avery edited by Bob Beatty William Henry Avery, born on a farm near Wakefield, Kansas, on August 11, 1911, served as the state’s thirty- seventh chief executive, from January 11, 1965, to January 9, 1967. Although his gubernatorial service was short, Avery’s outgoing personality and ability to win elections made him a central figure in Kansas Republican Party politics throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Avery first ran for the Kansas House of Representatives in 1950, but his political career really began years earlier when he was a leader of local opposition to the U.S. Corps of Engineers’s damming of the Republican River in their attempt to stop the disastrous flooding that had plagued eastern Kansas for years. Avery’s stake in the opposition was personal—the proposed dam would destroy the farmhouse his father, Herman W. Avery, built and in which he had grown up. He was never able to halt construction of the dam, but his fervent efforts not only led to his election to two terms in the state legislature (1951–1955), but also propelled him into the U.S. Congress, where he served from 1955 until 1965. Unable to stop the Tuttle Creek Dam and Milford Reservoir and finally frustrated with being a Republican in the Democratic-dominated U.S. House of Representatives of the early 1960s, Avery gave up his seat to come back to Kansas and run for governor in 1964.

The first tie vote (49-49) was procedural, while the second tie (again 49-49) was on the actual confirmation motion. Gaining confirmation had been an unusually difficult challenge for the governor as all Senate Democrats opposed his appointment, and health problems had kept a couple of the Republican senators from always being present during the past month. Although a specific date has not been set for Brownback to commence his new post, he has announced he will resign as governor effective at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31 and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer will be sworn in as governor in the same hour. AND COLYER MAKES FIVE When he is sworn in next week, Dr. Jeff Colyer will become the fifth Kansas Lt. Governor to ascend to the governorship upon the resignation of the sitting governor. Nehemiah Green (1868), Fred Hagaman (1950) and John McCuish (1957) did so and each served only a few days or a couple of weeks. However, if Colyer finishes Brownback’s term next January, he will then have served nearly a year as a non- elected governor. The only non-elected governor to serve a longer period of time (twenty months) was Lt.

  • Judicial Selection in Kansas
    TO: SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY FROM: F. JAMES ROBINSON, JR. KANSAS BAR ASSOCIATION DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2019 RE: JUDICIAL SELECTION IN KANSAS Chairperson Rucker, Chairperson Patton, members of the committee, we thank you for the opportunity to appear today and comment on your review of judicial selection process in Kansas. I am here today for the Kansas Bar Association. If those who select judges for our highest courts are knowledgeable and insulated from partisan politics, focus on professional qualifications, and are guided by proper rules and procedures, they will choose good judges. History of Judicial Selection Before charting a course for the future, we must have a clear understanding of the past. Several times since the state’s founding, Kansans have had to rethink how to select Kansas Supreme Court justices. Early in this nation’s history, governors and legislators chose state court judges. Concerns that some judges received their judicial appointments as a reward for their previous work for political elites, party machines, and special interests led reformers around the time of Kansas’ statehood to propose judicial elections.1 The first Kansans preferred non-partisan judicial elections, while allowing the governor to appoint judges to fill vacancies. Early in the 20th century Kansans switched to partisan elections, but a few years later switched back to non- partisan elections. However, critics were not convinced that non-partisan elections cured the problems plaguing partisan elections. Political parties continued to play a role in selecting and supporting candidates.2 During the mid-part of the 20th century political scandals in some states prompted reformers to move to a system using independent non-partisan nominating commissions.

  • Selection to the Kansas Supreme Court
    Selection to the Kansas Supreme Court by Stephen J. Ware NOVEMBER KANSAS 2007 ABOUT THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY Th e Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is an organization of 40,000 lawyers, law students, scholars, and other individuals, located in every state and law school in the nation, who are interested in the current state of the legal order. Th e Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy questions, but is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. Th e Federalist Society takes seriously its responsibility as a non-partisan institution engaged in fostering a serious dialogue about legal issues in the public square. We occasionally produce “white papers” on timely and contentious issues in the legal or public policy world, in an eff ort to widen understanding of the facts and principles involved, and to continue that dialogue. Positions taken on specifi c issues in publications, however, are those of the author, and not refl ective of an organization stance. Th is paper presents a number of important issues, and is part of an ongoing conversation. We invite readers to share their responses, thoughts and criticisms by writing to us at [email protected], and, if requested, we will consider posting or airing those perspectives as well.

    BRANDMEYER CENTER FOR APPLIED ECONOMICS Supporting Regional Economic Development through Analysis and Education A Fiscal History of Kansas: The ‘Brownback Experiment’ in Historical Context Technical Report 18-0126 January 2018 Arthur P. Hall, Ph.D. Executive Director Brandmeyer Center for Applied Economics University of Kansas School of Business About the Brandmeyer Center for Applied Economics The KU School of Business established the Center for Applied Economics in February of 2004— renamed the Brandmeyer Center in 2016 to honor a generous gift presented to the School by Joe and Jeanne Brandmeyer. The mission of the Brandmeyer Center for Applied Economics is to help advance the economic development of the state and region by offering economic analysis and economic education relevant for policymakers, community leaders, and other interested citizens. The stakeholders in the Brandmeyer Center want to increase the amount of credible economic analysis available to decision makers in both the state and region. When policymakers, community leaders, and citizens discuss issues that may have an impact on the economic development potential of the state or region, they can benefit from a wide array of perspectives. The Brandmeyer Center focuses on the contributions that markets and economic institutions can make to economic development. Because credibility is, in part, a function of economic literacy, the Brandmeyer Center also promotes economics education. About the Author Arthur P. Hall is the founding Executive Director of the Brandmeyer Center for Applied Economics at the University of Kansas School of Business. Before joining the KU School of Business, Hall was Chief Economist in the Public Affairs group of Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Industries, Inc.
