Modern Campaigning Origins - Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies - Grand Valley... Page 1 of 3 Modern Campaigning Origins When was the first modern political campaign? This is the question that Karl Rove, the chief political advisor to President George W. Bush, asked himself when he masterminded the campaign strategy that would help Bush become Texas governor (1994, 1998) and U.S. president (2000, 2004). As you will see below, one campaign in particular fascinated Rove and became a model for the modern campaign. IN THE BEGINNING, CANDIDATES DID NOT CAMPAIGN It's hard to imagine nowadays, but there was a time when it was considered poor form for a candidate to campaign openly for the presidency. They did not even attend their own nominating conventions. Historian Alan Brinkley explains how, in the nineteenth century, "The public aloofness of most presidential candidates gave an aura of nonpartisan dignity to the election process and kept alive the vision of the nation's founders of a political world free of parties and factions." Indeed, As late as 1900, when William McKinley ran for reelection as president, it was possible for a candidate to remain almost entirely out of view during the national campaign and allow other party leaders to do virtually all the work of mobilizing voters.

  • Vice President Garret A
    Connolly “I Make Politics My Recreation”: Vice President Garret A. Hobart and Nineteenth-Century Republican Business Politics Michael J. Connolly1 Abstract Until recent decades, American vice presidents were relatively obscure, little-known men who had minimal impact upon the politics and policies of the administrations they served. On this ignominious list remains Garret A. Hobart (1844-1899) of Paterson, New Jersey, vice president under President William McKinley, a businessman-turned- politician who died before his term expired. A closer look, however, reveals a man dubbed “assistant President” by contemporary journalists, an influential policymaker who had the president‟s confidence, and a lawyer-entrepreneur who shrewdly maneuvered the shadowy line between business and politics. At times, his pursuit of personal fortune in the railroad and water supply businesses veered into suspicions of graft and illegality. Far from being a nineteenth-century nonentity, Hobart was a central voice for the Republican Party during the 1890s, and one of the more influential and controversial vice presidents in American history. When Garret A. Hobart was nominated for vice-president on the 1896 Republican ticket with William McKinley of Ohio, many voters wondered “Who is Hobart?” Outside New Jersey and New York City, he was an unknown political commodity. But the unassuming businessman from northern New Jersey did not remain a mystery. When questioned about the issues of the campaign, he forthrightly proclaimed, “The silver heresy is the only issue

    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly as received GIFFIN, William Wayne, 1938- THE NEGRO IN OHIO, 1914-1939. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 History, modern University Microf ilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan Copyright by William Wayne Giffin 1969 THE NEGRO IN OHIO, 1914-1959 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William Wayne Giffin, B.A., B.S. Ed., A.M. ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by Adviser Department of History. PREFACE This dissertation concerns the public life of Negro Ohioans, their standing in the wider society of Ohio and their responses to this. It deals, to be more explicit, with the conditions of Negroes in relation to employment, housing and education; their treatment in public accommo­ dations; and their role in politics and government. The organizational response of Negroes to the status of the Negro population of Ohio is also stressed. Each of these factors is discussed in relation to the periods 1914-1919, I92O-I929 and 1950-1 9 3 9 * The research for this monograph was done in sources deposited in government, museum and university libraries. This dissertation is not, per se, cultural, social or intellectual history of the Negro in Ohio. Therefore, it is not basically concerned with the development of Negro' groups and institutions, e.g., families, churdæs, schools and fraternal organizations. Likewise, it does not cover the development of Negro art, music and drama. These as­ pects of the history of the Negro in Ohio are worthy of study and hopefully will be researched.

Tens of thousands of Republican Party delegates are converging in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention. But many high profile Republicans will be sitting this one out, including Trump's former rival, Jeb Bush. He told MSNBC that he can't even bring himself to vote for Trump in November. Jeb Bush: Donald is barely a Republican. He's certainly not a conservative. Conservatism is temporarily dead. Ed Ayers: Trump's nomination represents a battle for the heart and soul of the GOP. But then again, so did the nomination of Barry Goldwater in 1964. Leah Wright Rig: Protesters show up carrying caskets around the Cow Palace in San Francisco that say, "RIP GOP". Ed Ayers: Today on BackStory, we'll look at the GOP's origins and evolution, from concerns over the spread of slavery in the 1850s, to the spread of communism a century later. The history of the Republican Party, today on BackStory. Peter Onuf: Major funding for BackStory is provided by the [inaudible 00:01:03] Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities, The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
