OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVISM, 1901-1917 By GEORGE O. CARNE~ // .

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. -

1 Coast Artillery Living History Fort
Coast Artillery Living History Fort Hancock, NJ On 20-22 May 2016, the National Park Service (NPS) conducted the annual spring Coast Defense and Ocean Fun Day (sponsored by New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium – (http://njseagrant.org/) in conjunction with the Army Ground Forces Association (AGFA) and other historic and scientific organizations. Coast Defense Day showcases Fort Hancock’s rich military heritage thru tours and programs at various locations throughout the Sandy Hook peninsula – designated in 1982 as “The Fort Hancock and Sandy Hook Proving Ground National Historic Landmark”. AGFA concentrates its efforts at Battery Gunnison/New Peck, which from February to May 1943 was converted from a ‘disappearing’ battery to a barbette carriage gun battery. The members of AGFA who participated in the event were Doug Ciemniecki, Donna Cusano, Paul Cusano, Chris Egan, Francis Hayes, Doug Houck, Richard King, Henry and Mary Komorowski, Anne Lutkenhouse, Eric Meiselman, Tom Minton, Mike Murray, Kyle Schafer, Paul Taylor, Gary Weaver, Shawn Welch and Bill Winslow. AGFA guests included Paul Casalese, Erika Frederick, Larry Mihlon, Chris Moore, Grace Natsis, Steve Rossi and Anthony Valenti. The event had three major components: (1) the Harbor Defense Lantern Tour on Friday evening; (2) the Fort Hancock Historic Hike on Saturday afternoon and (3) Coastal Defense Day on Sunday, which focused on Battery Gunnison/New Peck operations in 1943, in conjunction with Ocean Fun Day. The educational objective was to provide interpretation of the Coast Artillery mission at Fort Hancock in the World War Two-era with a focus on the activation of two 6” rapid fire M1900 guns at New Battery Peck (formerly Battery Gunnison). -

BY SECOSOLIELTESAST HESRT J. REILLI’. Swosn CAVALRY.* IRST a brief description will be given of the vicinity of F Port Arthur. Running almost due north from the harbor of Port Arthur is the valley of the Lun Ho. The Lun Ho and its tributaries drain the major part of the Shuishih valley, a valley running in a general northwesterly and southeasterly direction, about three miles to the north of Port Arthur. On the shore of the harbor, to the east of the Lun Ho and separated from it by a hill, is the “Old (official) Town” of Port Arthur, while to the west of the Lun i Ho is the “New (commercial) Town.” Between two and two and a half miles from the Old Town is a continuous chain of hills running from the Lua Ho in a general form of a semi- circle to the Yellow Sea. The peaks of this chain run from *Lieutenant Reilly had the good luck to visit Port Arthur in the fall of IWS. The article is entirely the result of his own observations. All draw- ings were made by him, and he took the photos given herewith. In his manu- script names were spelled after the Japanese pronunciation. This has been changed by the JOURNAL to the orthography adopted by the War Department. 1 The article was prepared for the Second Division, General Staff, and is here reproduced by its courtesy. -

Presidio Coastal Trail Cultural Resource Survey
Presidio Coastal Trail Cultural Resource Survey Background This survey was prepared at the request of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy to provide information on known and possible cultural resources along the Fort Scott bluffs in preparation for the design of the Presidio Coastal Trail. This trail will be a link in the statewide California Coastal Trail. The California Coastal Conservancy oversees the statewide implementation efforts for developing the Coastal Trail, and provides this definition of the trail: “A continuous public right-of-way along the California Coastline; a trail designated to foster appreciation and stewardship of the scenic and natural resources of the coast through hiking and other complementary modes of non-motorized transportation.” (California Coastal Conservancy, 2001.) A “Presidio Trails and Bikeways Master Plan and Environmental Assessment” (aka “Trails Master Plan”) was developed jointly by the National Park Service and the Presidio Trust for that section of the Coastal Trail running through the Presidio of San Francisco, and was adopted through a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) in July 2003. The Trails Master Plan identified improvements needed to the California Coastal Trail in order to upgrade the existing route to a multi-use trail with associated bicycle lanes on Lincoln Boulevard and supporting components, such as trailheads and overlooks. This 3 mile Presidio trail section travels generally along the coastal bluffs, following Lincoln Boulevard. 1 The areas west and south of the Golden Gate Bridge/Highway 101 are known to have been the sites of important cultural activities over the past 200 years associated with the military and civilian histories of the Presidio of San Francisco. -
The Progressive Era, 1900-1920
AP U.S. History: Unit 7.2 Student Edition The Progressive Era, 1900-1920 I. Road to Progressivism Use space below for notes A. The Greenback Labor Party of the 1870s sought to thwart the power of the "robber barons," support organized labor, and institute inflationary monetary measures. Supported primarily by farmers B. Legacy of Populism 1. Populism failed as a third-party cause but it had political influence for 25 years after its failure in the 1896 election. 2. Populist ideas that carried forward: a. railroad legislation (1903 & 1906) b. income tax (16th Amendment, 1912) c. expanded currency and credit structure (1913, 1916) d. direct election of senators (17th Amendment, 1913) e. initiative, referendum and recall (early 1900s in certain states) f. postal savings banks (1910) g. subtreasury plan (1916) 3. Though Populism was geared to rural life, many of its ideas appealed to urban progressives who sought to regulate trusts, reduce political machine influence, and remedy social injustice. POPULISM PROGRESSIVISM NEW DEAL (1890-1896) (1900-1920) (1933-1938) II. Rise of Progressivism th A. Former Mugwumps (reform-minded Republicans of the late-19 century) desired a return to pre-monopoly America. 1. Men of wealth and social standing lamented the changes in America’s political and social climate due to the rise of industrialists: monopoly, plutocracy and oligarchy. a. Protestant/Victorian ideals of hard work and morality leading to success were now threatened by the “nouveau riche,” the super wealthy, who seemed to thrive on conspicuous consumption. b. Earlier Mugwump leaders of local communities were now eclipsed by political machines catering to big business and immigrants. -
