  • The Winning of Woman Suffrage in Montana by Doris Buck Ward
    The winning of woman suffrage in Montana by Doris Buck Ward A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History Montana State University © Copyright by Doris Buck Ward (1974) Abstract: The debates of the Montana Constitutional Convention of 1889 on issues related to equal suffrage afford us direct insights into the intellectual setting of frontier society in Montana. Inherent in the suffrage issue were inter-related concepts regarding the proper role of woman and the locus of power in representative government. The delegates were keenly aware that their blueprint for statehood would mold social contours and determine access to political power. They decided that the political rights of their women should be tightly circumscribed. Suffragists modified their ideology and strategy in successive drives for the ballot. In Montana, as elsewhere, they eventually compromised principles of equal dignity in order to secure a broad consensus for woman suffrage. The Victorian cyst of sexual inequality remained to perpetuate the "woman problem." To many, Jeannette Rankin personified the suffrage movement in Montana. She was a remarkable leader. But others had conducted admirably conceived campaigns under trying circumstances before her. The prospects for equal suffrage rose and fell, not only with quality of leadership, but with reform spirit (particularly with Populism in the 1890's and with Progressivism and Socialism later). But the reform spirit was a conservative one— to restore control of government to the people for social progress compatible with traditional values. Adoption of the equal suffrage amendment to Montana's constitution in 1914, 25 years after admission to statehood, removed formal barriers to women's full participation in Montana government (except for jury duty).

  • The Reformation of American Indian Policy and the Flathead Confederation, 1877-1893 by Jay William Spehar a Thesis Submitted In
    The reformation of American Indian policy and the Flathead Confederation, 1877-1893 by Jay William Spehar A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History Montana State University © Copyright by Jay William Spehar (1980) Abstract: During the late nineteenth century, eastern philanthropists led a reform movement in American Indian policy that aimed at converting the Indians' status from one of wardship to one of citizenship. Fearing that frontier settlement would drive the Indians into extinction, the reformers developed theories and programs designed to promote their assimilation. When Congress passed the General Allotment Act in 1887, the reformers’ efforts reached their culmination. The so-called Dawes Act provided for allotting the reservations in severalty and for opening them to white settlement. The implementation of this policy on any particular reservation rested upon the assumption that the Indians there were ready for assimilation. The Dawes Act made citizens of the Indian allottees and anticipated the eventual disappearance of the Indian reservations. Within the context of the national reform movement, this thesis focuses upon the administration of United States Indian Agent Peter Ronan. Between 1877 and 1893, Agent Ronan served the Flat-head Confederation, and during his extraordinarily long tenure, he initiated the reformers' programs for the Indians' assimilation. Although the confederation did not complete its allotment schedule until 1909, it was primarily during Agent Ronan's administration that they were prepared for assimilation. Peter Ronan was an unusually competent Indian agent, and this study examines his administrative policies as well as his political connections.
