An embodiment of the Horatio Alger tradition. Mantle had begun life in Amer­ ica as a penniless English immigrant. By 1895, in addition to being a successful politician, he had become a prominent entrepreneur of Butte who was credited with contributing more to the development of the city than any other businessman outside the ranks of the large mine opera­ tors. The ambitious, enterprising, young Englishman had fully utilized the opportunities for financial success offered by the fluid economy of Montana. A genial, friendly personality had aided him not only in busi­ ness but also in politics. As an important Republican politician, both in Butte and in the state, he had held many elective offices and important policy-making positions within the party. For example, prior to his elec­ tion to the Senate, he had served as the Speaker of the House in the last Montana territorial legislature and also as the chairman of the state central committee. For six years, the road to the Senate had been the scene of frus­ trations which would have discouraged a less persistent and determined politician. In 1889, when the first legislature met in the newly organ­ ized state of Montana, he had been considered one of the leading candidates for the Senate. Thomas C. Power had been elected instead. This rebuff had not disheartened Mantle, and he had persisted in his attempts to reach his goal. In 1895» the governor had appointed him as senator, when the - 1- Clark-Daly feud had made it impossible for the legislature to select one. Then the United States Senate had refused to seat him, basing its decision on the grounds that a governor could appoint a senator only in the event of a vacancy as prescribed in the United States Constitution. Finally, in 1895t he received the reward for his dogged determination, when the legislature elected him to the Senate. This was the zenith of his career. Never again was he to reach such heights. Mantle, bom Theophilus Washington l^ntle on December 1), 1851» at Birmingham, England, was the youngest of the seven children of Joseph and Mary Patrick Mantle. The death of the father shortly before the birth of hie youngest son left the family in dire financial straits How the family managed to eke out a living has not been recorded, but 2 one Bister, Mary Ann, dipped hairpins in a factory when she was eight. They were so poor that Lee, aa he was called, never received any 3 formal schooling. The Mantles were early converts to the Mormon church. The exact date is not known, but the name of Mary Mantle is one of the first en­ tries on the church register of the Birmingham Branch Mission of the Latter Day Saints.^ Young Lee received the children's blessing on May 1, 5 1855» from Elder Charles Jones of the Birmin^am Mission. His brothers ^Encyclopedia of American Biography (Hew York: The American His­ torical Society, 1 9 5 0 ), XLII, p. 191# ^Personal reminiscence of Mrs. J. D. McGregor to the author.

In 1661, one of Lee's sisters, Ehaily, came to the United States with a Mormon contingent, and another sister, Matilda, followed her the next year.7 It was a common practice for a family to save enough money to send one or more members to America; and those who left first would in turn find means to help the rest of the family. On June 3» I 8 6 4, Mary Mantle and three of her children, Joseph, Lee, and Mary Ann, sailed from London on the "Hudson.”® The "Hudson,!' which carried the Iswit group of Mor­ mons to leav e England th a t y e a r, had 863 people on board. Although the majority were Mormons from the B ritish Isles, they were accompanied by about one hundred Saints^ from Switzerland, Germany, and Holland. During the long, tedious voyage of forty-six days, measles broke out. Although nine people died, the Mantles seem to have escaped the infection. The ship reached New York on July 19* and the immigrants immediately con­ tinued their journey to the west. On the first stage of their trip, they went by rail via Albany, New York, to St. Joseph, Missouri, where they boarded river steamers for Wyoming, Nebraska. Wyoming, a village situated on the west bank of the Missouri River, seven miles north of Nebraska City, and forty miles south of Omaha, had been selected as the & Ibid. ^Records in the Office of the Church Historian, Latter Day Saints, Salt Lake City; Journal History and Church Chronology.

On September 11, when the danger from Indian attack was no longer imminent, the church offi­ cials left them at Julesburg, Nebraska, on the Platte River. They also telegraphed to Salt Lake that fifty yoke of oxen should be sent to the head of Butler Creek to meet the two companies, as some of the cattle had developed a hoof disease. Soon scant feed for the animals forced the two companies to separate. By traveling about two days' journey apart and encamping at different points, they were able to find enough grass to keep the oxen alive. The emigrants theneelves also experienced hardship, as th ^ had been late in starting.

  • 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.
