ANDERSON* Fifty years after the publication of Laura Ingalls Wilder's first book. Little House in the Big Woods (1932), that volume and eight succeeding volumes of the author's writings are American classics. The "Little House" books have been read, reread, trans- lated, adapted, and admired by multitudes world-wide. Wilder's books, which portray the frontier experience during the last great American expansionist era, "have given a notion of what pioneer life was like to far more Americans than ever heard of Frederick Jackson Turner."' Laura Ingalls Wilder's fame and the success of her books have been spiraling phenomenons in American publishing history. In I *The author wishes to acknowledge the many people who have contributed to the groundwork that resulted in this article. Among them are Roger Lea MacBride of Charlottesville. Va., whom I thank for years of friendship and favors—particu- larly the unlimited use of the once restricted Wilder papers; Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Sherwood of De Smet, S.Dak., for loyal support and information exchange; Vera McCaskell and Vivian Glover of De SmeL, for lively teamwork; Dwight M.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

  • 2018 Awards Committee Report
    2018 AWARDS COMMITTEE REPORT Submitted to: Libertarian National Committee, June 29, 2018 Submitted by: James W. Lark, III Region 5 Representative, Libertarian National Committee Chair, 2018 Awards Committee The members of the 2018 Awards Committee are Tim Hagan, Daniel Hayes, Jim Lark, Keith Laube, and Jennifer (“Hap”) Werther. From March through May, the Committee solicited nominations from LP members for the national awards (Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin*, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson), as well as nominations for election to the Hall of Liberty. The solicitation took place by various means, including an article in LP News, e-mails to the LP e-mail list, and a blog post on LP.com. The deadline for submission was May 31. During the December 2016 meeting, the LNC adopted a motion without objection to induct into the Hall of Liberty all who had received the Thomas Jefferson Award for lifetime achievement prior to 2012, when the Hall of Liberty was instituted to recognize lifetime achievement and the Jefferson Award was redefined to recognize outstanding leadership and character. The five people inducted into the Hall by the LNC vote are Ruth Bennett (2008 Jefferson Award), David Bergland (1998 Jefferson Award), the late Ron Crickenberger (2004 Jefferson Award), Jim Lark (2008 Jefferson Award), and the late John Perry (2002 Jefferson Award). The Committee received and considered other nominations for the Hall of Liberty. None of the other nominees received the unanimous vote required for election. The Committee also selected the recipients of the Adams, Franklin, Henry, Paine, and Jefferson Awards. The recipients will be honored at a ceremony during the national convention in New Orleans.

  • 1 the Triumph and Crisis of Vital-Center Liberalism
    Notes 1 THE TRIUMPH AND CRISIS OF VITAL-CENTER LIBERALISM 1. Michael D. Reagan, Regulation: The Politics of Policy (Boston, MA: Little, Brown, 1987), 9. 2. Nigel Ashford, "Liberalism," in Dictionary of Conservative and Libertarian Thought, Nigel Ashford and Stephen Davies, eds (London: Routledge, 1991), 160. 3. Ronald D. Rotunda, "The 'Liberal' Label: Roosevelt's Capture of a Symbol," Public Policy 17 (1968): 39. Modern devotees of nine­ teenth-century liberalism, frustrated by this appropriation of "liberal­ ism" by advocates of the mixed economy, were forced to use such circumlocutions as "classical liberal," "libertarian," or, in Friedrich A. Hayek's case, "old Whig." See Milton Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1962), 5-6; Louis M. Spadaro, foreword to Liberalism in the Classical Tradition, 3rd ed. by Ludwig von Mises, trans.

Degler, "The Ordeal of Herbert Hoover," The Yale Review 52 (Summer 1993): 563-83. Richard K. Vedder and Lowell E. Gallaway recently have argued that unemployment during the Great Depression was so severe precisely because Hoover's support for high tariffs and maintenance of nominal wages during a deflation resulted in an actual increase in real wages at a time of decreasing labor demand. See Richard K. Vedder and Lowell E. Gallaway, Out of Work: Unemployment and Government in Twentieth-Century America (New York: Holmes & Meier, 1993), 89-92.

Everything I have is mine to hide from Government. The Constitution is designed to protect our liberties, our privacy, and to limit government power. Therefore, every governmental invasion of privacy must be rejected.” — David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian for President “America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad. If we want to be worthy of their legacy, we must resist the rush toward ever- increasing state control of our society.
