Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy PARK TRAMMELL OF FLORIDA: A POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY By Stephen Kerber June 1979 Chairman: Dr. Samuel Proctor Major Department: History Park Trammell (1876-1936), one of Florida's most astute politicians, was born in Alabama, April 9, 1876. His father, John W. Trammell, moved to Polk County, Florida, in 1882, where he farmed and grew citrus. He was interested in politics and was elected county treasurer and state representative. His support of Henry Mitchell's gubernatorial candidacy in 1892 resulted in aDDointnient a*: suDerin'f"oniHo"+ ^-f fho Hn'^init^i -fnv- the insane at Chattahoochee. He occupied this post for eight years. In the spring of 1894, Park v..'ent to work in the customs service at Tampa. In 1898, he decided to obtain a law degree, and first attended Vanderbilt University, and then Cumberland Law School, graduating in the spring of 1899, Trammell returned to Lakeland, where he opened a law of f i c" In 1899, and again in 1900 and 1901, Trammell was elected mayor. In 1902, he won election to the state house of representatives. Two years later, he was chosen for the state senate, after campaigning against railroads and corporations. His colleagues selected him senate president. He became a leading advocate of Governor Napoleon Broward's progressive reform program. vn Trauimen declared himself a candidate for the United States Senate during the autumn of 1907, but withdrew his candidacy when Broward en- couraged another of his supporters. Will Bryan of Jacksonville, to make the race. Trammel! then decided to run for state attorney general and in 1908 defeated the incumbent, William Ellis. In 1912, Trammell used his cabinet post as a stepping-stone to the governorship. He defeated William Milton in a campaign v/hich dealt with the issues of good roads and the labor of state convicts. Trammell advocated many progressive reforms as governor, but did not play a significant role in the sub- sequent enactment of laws by the 1913 and 1915 legislatures. Trammell manipulated nativist sentiment stirred up by gubernatorial candidate Sidney Catts in 1916 in his own behalf in his race against United States Senator Nathan Bryan. During his initial Senate term (1917-1923), Trammell established himself as a reactor rather than an activist or orator. He faithfully attended Senate sessions and committee meetings and voted the v/ay his constituents would prefer him to vote. In 1922, William Jennings Bryan seriously contemplated a race for Trammell 's Senate seat but abandoned the idea in the face of Trammell 's great popularity. In 1928, Trammell resisted a challenge from outgoing Governor John Martin, in a heated campaign marred by personal abuse and charges of corruption among Trammell's office staff. Trammell's most remarkable victory came in the 1934 runoff Democratic primary against attorney Claude Pepper of Tallahassee. Both men based their campaigns on support for Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal, but Tram,mell's popularity and his connections in Hillsborough County turned the election in his favor. vm Trammen eventually achieved seniority in the Senate, but was personally responsible for little if any significant legislation. He did maintain an admirable voting record, however, and in doing so attempted to protect the interests of his Florida constituents. Although he became an early and consistent supporter of the New Deal, his sena- torial career was overshadowed by that of his senior colleague, Duncan Fletcher. Trammel 1 repeatedly proved himself one of the cleverest campaigners of his era. ix iiirwi7Mn ni[' nBii' ia r~iiriiii CHAPTER ONE BIRTHRIGHT OF A SOUTH FLORIDA DEMOCRAT, 1876-1902 Early in the year 1882, two brothers— John and Rip Trammel 1—moved with their families and possessions from Alabama to the frontier state of Florida. They settled in Polk County, a sparsely inhabited area just east of Tampa and Hillsborough County. Until 1850, Hillsborough in- cluded this fertile and lake-studded region. In that year, the Florida legislature divided the county and named the eastern portion for former President James Polk. The census in 1880 listed 3,181 persons in Polk County. Of that number, 3,033 were white, 122 were "colored," and 26 were Indians. Only Polk Countians 3 had been born outside the United States— 2 in England or Wales, and 1 in Ireland. Polk County's homogeneous and sexually balanced population was typical of Florida and the South. The over- whelming majority were native-born Floridians-2,222 in all. Those from other states included 687 from Georgia, 129 from South Carolina, 53 from Alabama, from 31 North Carolina, 7 from Virginia and Tennessee, 2 from Pennsylvania, and 1 each from New York and Massachusetts. The population ^ included 1,518 females and 1,663 males. When the Trammel is arrived in Florida, they found life was peaceful and bountiful. Sweet potatoes provided both a staple food and a sub- stitute for coffee. Cane supplied sugar or syrup. Clothing was made from home-grown cotton. Fenced-in cattle helped fertilize the land. ^^—,.»..^ > ^^^^ -MTTir' •r"i'"^li-r-"iiii«-i[nii-nwM-nn -2- The near-virgin wilderness swarmed with quail, wild turkey, venison, water fowl, squirrel, and fish. Cotton or oranges could be sold or traded at Tampa for goods that could not be grown or produced at home. Cane grindings, sugar boilings, camp meetings, quilting bees, and political rallies furnished entertainment and relaxation for the frontier families. During the 1850s, most of the settlers in the northern part of Polk County, and the area that later became Lakeland, did not own their land. Only in the 1870s did these "squatters" begin to homestead or buy lands they had occupied for years. Medulla ivas the principal hamlet of the area, possessing the only post office for miles around.^ John Washington and Ripley Erasmus Trammel 1 followed an established family custom when they migrated to Florida. For generations their ancestors had been heading into new territories and leaving familiar surroundings behind. Their great-grandfather had, for example, fore- saken South Carolina for Georgia at the close of the Revolutionary War. Thomas Trammel had 1 fought in the American Revolution as a private, between 1780 and 1783, in the "South Carolina Mounted Rifled Rangers." He evidently served under two well known officers--Captain Joseph Hughes and Colonel Thomas Brandon. Thomas Trammel 1 likely saw action at Musgrove's Mill, King's Mountain, Hammond's Store, Cowpens, Hanging Rock, and Rocky Mount. Long after his death, his widow began receiving a small pension in recognition of his services. Thomas Trammel 1 had married Mary Turner of Union District, South Carolina, on December 21, 1775. After the war she moved with him to Hancock County, Georgia. Thomas subsequently moved again, to Jackson (later Clark), and to Upson counties.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • The Everglades: Wetlands Not Wastelands Marjory Stoneman Douglas Overcoming the Barriers of Public Unawareness and the Profit Motive in South Florida
    The Everglades: Wetlands not Wastelands Marjory Stoneman Douglas Overcoming the Barriers of Public Unawareness and the Profit Motive in South Florida Manav Bansal Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,496 Bansal 1 "Marjory was the first voice to really wake a lot of us up to what we were doing to our quality of life. She was not just a pioneer of the environmental movement, she was a prophet, calling out to us to save the environment for our children and our grandchildren."1 - Florida Governor Lawton Chiles, 1991-1998 ​ Introduction Marjory Stoneman Douglas was a vanguard in her ideas and approach to preserve the Florida Everglades. She not only convinced society that Florida’s wetlands were not wastelands, but also educated politicians that its value transcended profit. From the late 1800s, attempts were underway to drain large parts of the Everglades for economic gain.2 However, from the mid to late 20th century, Marjory Stoneman Douglas fought endlessly to bring widespread attention to the deteriorating Everglades and increase public awareness regarding its importance. To achieve this goal, Douglas broke societal, political, and economic barriers, all of which stemmed from the lack of familiarity with environmental conservation, apathy, and the near-sighted desire for immediate profit without consideration for the long-term impacts on Florida’s ecosystem. Using her voice as a catalyst for change, she fought to protect the Everglades from urban development and draining, two actions which would greatly impact the surrounding environment, wildlife, and ultimately help mitigate the effects of climate change. By educating the public and politicians, she served as a model for a new wave of environmental activism and she paved the way for the modern environmental movement.

DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

  • Florida Jewish History Month January
    Florida Jewish History Month January Background Information In October of 2003, Governor Jeb Bush signed a historic bill into law designating January of each year as Florida Jewish History Month. The legislation for Florida Jewish History Month was initiated at the Jewish Museum of Florida by, the Museum's Founding Executive Director and Chief Curator, Marcia Zerivitz. Ms. Zerivitz and State Senator Gwen Margolis worked closely with legislators to translate the Museum's mission into a statewide observance. It seemed appropriate to honor Jewish contributions to the State, as sixteen percent, over 850,000 people of the American Jewish community lives in Florida. Since 1763, when the first Jews settled in Pensacola immediately after the Treaty of Paris ceded Florida to Great Britain from Spain, Jews had come to Florida to escape persecution, for economic opportunity, to join family members already here, for the climate and lifestyle, for their health and to retire. It is a common belief that Florida Jewish history began after World War II, but in actuality, the history of Floridian Jews begins much earlier. The largest number of Jews settled in Florida after World War II, but the Jewish community in Florida reaches much further into the history of this State than simply the last half-century. Jews have actively participated in shaping the destiny of Florida since its inception, but until research of the 1980s, most of the facts were little known. One such fact is that David Levy Yulee, a Jewish pioneer, brought Florida into statehood in 1845, served as its first U.S.
