  • 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.

  • Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey
    Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey January 31, 2007 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young The ghost of Joe Clark has been lurking around the edges of political news lately following the election of Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Jr. to the Senate. Clark served as US Senator from Pennsylvania from 1957 until 1969. Before entering the Senate, he was mayor of Philadelphia, a lawyer, a writer (author of two books), and something of an intellectual (a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences). Clark is remembered due to the historical significance of his last electoral victory; in 1962 he was the last Democrat to be elected to a full six-year term until Bob Casey turned the trick in 2006. Clark and Casey have this history in common. But the two men seem almost polar opposites in most other ways. Tracing the backgrounds, careers, and philosophies of the pair reveal them to be virtual political antonyms--the yin and yang of Pennsylvania politics. Consider: Divergent Family Background--Clark was the quintessential blue blood, coming from a family with roots in the state dating back to the early 19th century. His family hobnobbed with the likes of lawyer/financier Jay Cooke. He attended Harvard as did his dad. He lived a life to the manor born with private country clubs and debutante parties. On the other hand, Casey was the grandson of a coal miner, was reared in a hard scrabble town, and attended Catholic school. One of seven siblings, his early background was solidly middle class, his values solidly middle American, and his politics solidly FDR Democrat.

  • The Boss Tactics of Matthew Stanley Quay
    A Practical Politician: The Boss Tactics of Matthew Stanley Quay William Alan Blair The Pennsylvania State University, University Park During the 1880s, the Pennsylvania Republican leadership faced and sur- vived a serious challenge. The decade opened with a national convention that engendered revolt within the Republican machine. Many of the disaffected felt oppressed by the heavy-handed rule of the Camerons. Simmering resentment boiled over in 1880 as the Camerons pushed for the nomination of Ulysses S. Grant to a third term as president.! The next year, a reform movement called the Committee of One Hundred formed in Philadelphia. By 1882, a Democrat became governor in Pennsylvania; two years later, another Democrat gained the White House. In this time of uncertainty, a politician named Matthew Stanley Quay emerged from the shadow of Simon and Don Cameron to restore the state Republican party to power and preserve the machine's dynasty. At the time, Quay also faced an uncertain political future. As secretary of the Commonwealth, he had directed state affairs while Simon Cameron, followed by his sonJ. Donald, sat in the U.S. Senate. By 1884, the fifty-one-year-old Quay had dropped out of state office and lost an election for U.S. Congress. He stood to lose even more. Simon Cameron forsook the 1884 national convention, leaving his voting proxy not with Quay but with Chris Magee, a political boss in Pitts- burgh. Many read this as a sign that Cameron had selected a new lieutenant.2 Quay received the same message. Asked to interpret Cameron's action, Quay replied, "It means a fight for self-protection and self-preservation." 3 Quay's back- ground equipped him well for such a battle.

  • Bull Zmoose 'Responds to the ^\(Ew T>Eal: 'Pennsylvania S Qifford Pinchot
    zA "Bull zMoose 'Responds to the ^\(ew T>eal: 'Pennsylvania s Qifford Pinchot N PROBING the character of the New Deal era, American his- torians have naturally evolved conflicting points of view. The I relationship of this provocative period to the Progressive era is the focus of one such controversy. Was the New Deal an extension of early twentieth century reform or "a drastic new departure/' as Professor Richard Hofstadter has concluded?1 As part of their argument, supporters of the former view cite the continuity in personnel. Some Progressive Republicans who had sub- mitted to the leadership of their more conservative colleagues in the twenties became disenchanted by 1932, joined the Roosevelt band- wagon, and subsequently endorsed the New Deal. With equal ac- curacy, advocates of the Hofstadter view can refer to others who had been in the Progressive forefront, hesitated in their reaction to the Democratic rise, and ultimately denounced the New Deal and its architects. How can these divergencies be explained? Why did some Progressives regard the New Deal as fulfillment of a national need while others of their breed could register only condemnation ? The study of Gifford Pinchot, popular but controversial Repub- lican governor of Pennsylvania, in regard to the New Deal should supply at least partial answers to these questions. His experience is a microcosm of the Progressive dilemma and affords the historian an infrequent opportunity to analyze one who stood on both sides of an issue. Pinchot had been an old Bull Moose who carried on a brief courtship with the New Deal, but, after welcoming the Rooseveltians to his state, he quickly reversed his position when he became dis- l Richard Hofstadter, The Age of Reform: From Bryan to F.

  • African American State Legislators and Civil Rights in Early Twenticth-Century Pennsylvania Eric Leddli Smith Parnqxswnmi Hsoriealand Mueum Commissieon
    "Asking for Justice and Fair Play": African American State Legislators and Civil Rights in Early Twenticth-Century Pennsylvania Eric Leddli Smith PArnqxswnmi Hsoriealand Mueum Commissieon lk Who's WhD is CahwedAMNAM MM= On March 29, 1921, two African American state legislators urged the Penunsrlnia General Assembly to grant black Pennsylvanians full citizenship by passing an equal rights bill. John C. Asbury, a Republican representative from Philadelphia, spoke of his interracial upbringing in Washington County: As a boy, I played, studied, and fought with boys of other races ... I never received anything from those boys but justice and fair play. In the belief that Pansylvania men are just Pcnnsrivania boys grown older, I come to you asking for that sam justice and fair play.' 170 Pennsylvania History Republican Andrew Stevens Jr. of Philadelphia reminded his colleagues that it was Easter, a time to remember that Christ died so "that the sins of men might be redeemed-not white men, brown men or even yellow men or black men, but all men." Stevens argued that if all men have equal access to salvation, then all men are entitled to equal rights under the law. By this bill, Stevens said, blacks "demand full citizenship in Pennsylvania and these United States of America."2 The Pennsylvania House passed the Asbury Bill that day, but in April, 1921, the bill was defeated in the Senate. Fourteen years would pass before another black Pennsylvania legislator would introduce a civil rights bill. Scholarship on black Philadelphia political life has not intensively studied the first two decades of the twentieth century.
