  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture
    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom. Bill Dougherty, Steven Davis, Frank Den- holm, Gilbert Fite, Erin Hogan Fouberg, Neil Fulton. Doug Hajek, Noel Hamie!, Scott Heidepriem, Stephanie Herseth, Dave Kranz, Howard Lamar, Ted Muenster, George Mc- Govern, Lynwood Oyos, Bill Richardson, Jamison Rounds, RoUyn Samp, and Chuck Wood- ard for their generous comments on tliis essay.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: a Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012
    U.S. Senator E. James Abdnor: A Life Compiled by Jon Lauck, May 2012 In 1899, an 18-year-old Sam Abdelnour left the village of Ayn Al-Arab in Lebanon, which was then part of Greater Syria and within the Ottoman Empire, on a cargo ship bound for the United States. He could speak no English. At the time, it was reported that Sam “plans to set himself up in the business of peddling” and that “he is anxious to learn the language of his new country.” Abdelnour, who Anglicized his name to Abdnor, first opened a general store in O’Neill, Nebraska, but in 1904 moved to Lyman County, South Dakota, filed a homestead claim on 160 acres, and planted corn. His homestead patent claim was signed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Abdnor also continued his work as a “peddler,” selling to many of the new settlers in the area and to the Sioux Indians at Lower Brule. Abdnor said “the Greeks run restaurants, the German likes farming and manufacturing, the Italians and Poles go into mining. The Scandinavians turn to fishing and farming and my countrymen, the Lebanese, were noted as peddlers of fine linens and other light articles.” Abdnor sold overalls, shirts, linens, lace, buttons, eyeglasses, pins, needles and jewelry by walking from farm to farm and, later, using a two-seated buggy with a merchandise box built on the back. At this time, Lyman County was on the edge of the homesteading frontier and many men in the area were working on the Milwaukee Road rail line, which would run through Reliance, Kennebec, Presho, and Vivian and into Jones County towns such as Draper and Murdo and on further West.

  • South Dakotans in the United States Senate: a Composite Portrait
    Copyright © 1981 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. South Dakotans in the United States Senate: A Composite Portrait LARRY PRESSLER Since statehood in 1889, twenty-three South Dakotans have served in the United States Senate. These senators have been diverse in their viewpoints and have offered different and often significant contributions to the American political experience. A composite review of these various individuals suggests some of the political preferences and propensities of South Dakota as a state and, perhaps, enhances our understanding of our own political choices. The following biographical details and sketches are based largely on material in standard biographical reference sources.' These sources are supplemented by recollections of the 1. The beginning points for these biographical notes were sketches published in various editions of the CongressioTial Directory, the Biographical Directory of the American Congress, and the Dictionary of American Biography. Most valuable general sources were Herbert S. Schell's History of South Dakota. 2d ed. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1968), and Alan L. Clem's Prairie State Politics: Popular Democracy in South Dakota (Washington, D.C: Public Affairs Press, 1967). Five biographies were of considerable use: Robert Sam Anson, McGovem: A Biography (New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston. 1972): Calvin Perry Armin, "Cœ I.
