What was it like to be the son or daughter of the governor? What did the governor do before he became governor? In what ways did the governor’s family make the Governor’s Mansion a home? 2.

After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, he joined his father’s medical practice, specializing in diseases of the eye and ear. Interested in his community and politics, Dr. Pardee was mayor of Oakland from 1893-95. Elected governor in 1902, his was the first California governor’s family to live in the mansion at 16th and H Streets. After moving into the mansion, the Pardees added an office that had a stairway and entrance from the outside so visitors would not disturb the family. Governor Pardee is remembered for the personal direction that he provided in rebuilding San Francisco after the earthquake of April 18, 1906. He was the first governor to request and get federal aid for a natural disaster. George and Helen Pardee met when they attended Oakland High School and graduated together in 1875.

  • A Critical STEP for California Pr0gresswism Steve Brady
    The History Students’ Association Presents: TNE DmEcr PRIMARy: A CRITIcAL STEP FOR CALifoRNIA PR0GREssWIsM Steve Brady istory has anointed Hiram Johnson the standard bearer of California Progressivism. His two terms as Governor, lasting from 1911-1919, encompass the years generally associated with Progressivism in California.’ While Johnson was governor, the legislatures of the state passed significant Progressive legislation such as the referendum, initiative, recall, workmen’s compensation laws, implementation of a stronger railroad commission, and women’s suffrage. Even before Johnson’s election, however, a critical Progressive law had already been debated and passed. The importance of the direct primary law of 1909 in helping Hiram Johnson and other Progressives to get elected in 1910 is often overlooked. Because of the direct primary law, Californians finally ended the power of the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) in their politics. Politics and the power of the political party were never to be the same in the Golden State. The direct primary allowed Californians to select nominees for state-wide offices. Thus, it weakened the traditional party convention and nominating system which had previously been controlled by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The direct primary debate showed the oppressive influence that the Southern Pacific Railroad’s “machine” legislators had upon the legislature in 1907, and the waning of their influence by 1909. It also showed that reform minded “anti-machine” Progressives were most effective when they were able to neatly frame issues in terms such as “the people” against “the interests.” This paper will explore whether there was a general Progressive movement in California, who supported and opposed the direct primary, and how these issues were framed.
