A Bibliography Of A Catalog of the Book and Archival Materials Held by the William Howard Taft National Historic Site, Cincinnati, Ohio Cataloged by the Staff of the Cataloging Services Department Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Edited by Roger M. Miller Cataloging Services Department Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County September 2008 The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County 800 Vine Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202‐2071 513‐369‐6900 www.cincinnatilibrary.org Located in Cincinnati’s historic Mount Auburn neighborhood, the William Howard Taft National Historic Site is comprised of the Taft family home and the Taft Education Center. William Howard Taft, who was 27th President and 10th Chief Justice of The United States, lived in this home from the time of his birth in 1857 until he was 25 years of age. The William Howard Taft National Historic Site was established in 1969 and is administered by the National Parks Service. In addition to having many pieces of furniture and interior decoration that belonged to the Taft family, the Site has over 400 book volumes located on shelves in the Taft home or in storage in the Taft Education Center. While these volumes were previously cataloged within an internal database, they were not available to searchers over the Internet. In 2007, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County agreed to catalog the Taft collection and thereby make it accessible to searchers through its own catalog, available over the Internet at http://catalog.cincinnatilibrary.org. Of the 305 titles cataloged in the fall of 2007, approximately 65 were duplicates of titles already held by the Public Library, and approximately 239 were new to the Public Library’s catalog. This volume presents a catalog of the Taft Site’s collection in author/title order. The notes describing physical characteristics of the volumes and including the Taft Site’s “WIHO” call number were drawn from descriptions already given in the National Parks Service’s database. It should be noted that the Historic Site’s materials are not available for borrowing; however, they may be made available for examination with appropriate notice. Individuals wishing to examine materials found in this catalog should contact the William Howard Taft National Historic Site and refer to the WIHO number given in this catalog.

  • Why Unions Attacked the Single Transferable Vote in Cincinnati∗
    Bad for Party Discipline: Why Unions Attacked the Single Transferable Vote in Cincinnati∗ Jack Santucci [email protected] This version: June 28, 2017 Original: July 22, 2015 The years around World War I brought major political changes to advanced industrial democracies. New demands led to rapid extensions of voting rights, mass defections to labor- based parties, and the adoption of proportional representation (PR) voting schemes.1 The last of these is the most important cause of a multi-party system.2 Roughly speaking, if a party gets ten percent of votes, it gets ten percent of legislative seats. Political scientists have long observed that social democracy thrives under PR.3 Oftentimes, as in Australia, Germany, and Switzerland, local PR experiments predated a national adoption.4 The United States was not immune to the global changes in party systems. Women won the vote in 1920, officially doubling electorates in states that had not yet granted voting rights.5 Third-party presidential runs in 1912 and 1924 shook the Republican Party in the Mountain States and American Midwest. This intra-party fighting continued in cities where reformers rewrote voting rules to eject the old-style parties from power.6 From 1915-48, in fact, the chosen reform in 24 cities was proportional representation. ∗Jasmine Underwood provided research assistance. Bill Collins, Jack Lucas, Colin Moore, Hans Noel, Rob Richie, and Kent Weaver gave helpful feedback on earlier drafts. Bill Gradison gave important insight into local history. 1 Compared to PR systems in

American Political Dynasties By Melissa Ware and Brian Flanagan The families of U.S. presidents and vice presidents are steeped in political heritage, and it is not surprising that many of them boast a prestigious lineage. While there has never been an ascendancy in the United States like the Hapsburgs, Romanovs, Bourbons, or Windsors, we have had several political families that could be called dynasties. In fact, many of America's most powerful families have been interrelated. Did you know, for example, that one family that produced two presidents was also related to four other presidents, a vice president, and Winston Churchill? A closer look at these families, however, reveals a major distinction between American political dynasties and European royal dynasties. There is no royalty here; there is no class of citizens rising to power based on the merits of their names alone -- though names do certainly help.

  • Book Review: Ray Bliss in Retrospect
    RAY BLISS IN RETROSPECT BOOK REVIEW: WILLIAM L. HERSHEY & JOHN C. GREEN, MR. CHAIRMAN: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RAY C. BLISS by Jonathan L. Entin* Ray Bliss was one of the most effective and respected political operatives in American history. His career spanned five decades, and his influence was in many ways more profound than that of other prominent figures like Mark Hanna and James Farley, who were primarily associated with specific presidents.1 Bliss made his mark as a party builder and modernizer. He engineered the Republican revival after Senator Barry Goldwater’s landslide loss to President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Before assuming leadership of the Republican National Committee in 1965, he had chaired the Ohio GOP for sixteen years. Working primarily behind the scenes, he was relatively unknown to the general public. I first heard of Bliss in 1962, when my suburban Boston high school debate partner—an ardent Republican and even more ardent Goldwater supporter—accurately predicted that the GOP would win big victories in Ohio that year because of Bliss.2 But I never knew many details about Ray * David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law and Political Science, Case Western Reserve University. 1. Hanna was the man behind William McKinley, and Farley played a similar role for Franklin D. Roosevelt. See WILLIAM T. HORNER, OHIO’S KINGMAKER: MARK HANNA, MAN AND MYTH (2010); DANIEL SCROOP, MR. DEMOCRAT: JIM FARLEY, THE NEW DEAL, AND THE MAKING OF MODERN AMERICAN POLITICS (2006). 2. Lewie and I could hardly agree on the time of day, but we were an effective debating combination because we had to work very hard to find arguments that both of us could support.
