  • Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019
    Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Valerie Heitshusen Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 4, 2019 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30567 Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Summary This report briefly describes current responsibilities and selection mechanisms for 15 House and Senate party leadership posts and provides tables with historical data, including service dates, party affiliation, and other information for each. Tables have been updated as of the report’s issuance date to reflect leadership changes. Although party divisions appeared almost from the First Congress, the formally structured party leadership organizations now taken for granted are a relatively modern development. Constitutionally specified leaders, namely the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, can be identified since the First Congress. Other leadership posts, however, were not formally recognized until about the middle of the 19th century, and some are 20th-century creations. In the earliest Congresses, those House Members who took some role in leading their parties were often designated by the President as his spokesperson in the chamber. By the early 1800s, an informal system developed when the Speaker began naming his lieutenant to chair one of the most influential House committees. Eventually, other Members wielded significant influence via other committee posts (e.g., the post-1880 Committee on Rules). By the end of the 19th century, the formal position of floor leaders had been established in the House. The Senate was slower than the House to develop formal party leadership positions, and there are similar problems in identifying individual early leaders.

  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

  • 100 Years of Women Voting the First Berlin Women Voters
    100 years of women voting The First Berlin Women Voters Research by Cathy Nelson Sarah Caliandri, Nelson, Librarian Emeritus, President Berlin-Peck Memorial Library Berlin Historical Society Kate Wall, Berlin Town Clerk Lorraine Stub, Secretary, Berlin Historical Society 1 Title photographs: Top: Freda and Ethel Lund atop Lamentation Mountain Left: Lillie Lindquist Right: Marie Stange Center: Pearl Woods Gate, 1st woman voter Oct. 4, 1920 Bottom: Inez Williams December 2020 2 100 years of women voting One hundred years ago, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers won the right to vote. It began in July1848 when 300 women gathered in Seneca Falls, New York for a convention that started the campaign to allow women to vote. The Women’s Rights Convention was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucetia Mott, Mary McClintock, Mary Coffin Wright, and Jane Hunt. Many were also part of the anti-slavery cause. Susan B. Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 and soon dedicated her life to women’s rights and anti-slavery. Elizabeth died in 1902 and Susan died in 1906. When these ladies died, they still could not vote. Meanwhile, the question of women voting was a worldwide issue. The first country to allow women to vote was New Zealand in 1893. New Zealand: 1893 Australia: 1902 Finland: 1906 Norway: 1913 Denmark: 1915 Russia: 1917 Canada: 1918 Armenia: 1919 Estonia: 1920 In 1893 Connecticut women were given the right to vote on Board of Education issues. In 1909 Connecticut women were given the right to vote on library issues. In Berlin, over the years, there probably were discussions and support for the women’s vote.
