  • The Artist As Patron: Gutzon Borglum and North Dakota Politics, 1922
    Copyright © 1990 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Artist as Patron: Gutzon Borglum and North Dakota Politics, 1922 RONALD F. BRILEY On a mountainside in South Dakota, the gifted, yet temperamental artist and sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the massive presiden- tial monuments of Mount Rushmore. In sculpting the carvings of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jeffer- son, and Theodore Roosevelt, Borglum had not only to grapple with the harsh Dakota environment but also to weather artistic and fi- nancial controversies with his sponsors in South Dakota and Con- gress. Borglum met the rigors of the task and forever linked his name with the state and the Shrine to Democracy. Yet, Mount Rushmore was by no means Borglum's first or only involvement with the Dakotas. In 1922, he played a key role in the political contests of North Dakota, helping to advance the agrarian reform movement that has become a hallmark of that state. In the early 1920s, the multifarious Borglum was living on his estate in Stamford, Connecticut, and working on war memorials for the Italian government, but his interests ranged beyond the confines of the artistic world and geographical boundaries of New England. Borglum, who considered himself an anti-establishment artist, was frequently embroiled in artistic and political disputes. A progressive Republican, he had formed a favorable opinion of North Dakota farmers supporting the candidacy of Robert LaFollette at the 1916 GOP convention. In 1918, he traveled to North Dakota and estab- lished himself as an eastern fund-raiser and promoter for the North Copyright © 1990 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

  • American Political Parties in History
    1 American Political Parties in History Federalist Party The Federalist party, in U.S. history, is a name that was originally applied to the advocates of ratification of the Constitution of the United States of 1787. Later, however, it came to designate supporters of the presidential administrations of George Washington and John Adams and especially supporters of the fiscal policies of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. During Adams's presidency the Federalists attempted to stifle dissent by the Alien and Sedition Act (1798). By the election of 1800, therefore, the Democratic-Republicans gained control of the federal government. The death of Washington in 1799 and of Hamilton in 1804 left the Federalists without a powerful leader, and they proved inept at the highly organized popular politics of the Democratic- Republicans. Although the party continued to have strength in New England, expressing the opposition of commercial interests to the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812 , it never made a comeback on the national level. After the Hartford Convention of 1815, the Federalists were a dying anachronism. Democratic-Republican Party An early political party in the United States, originally led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison; it was the forerunner of the present-day Democratic party, which name it formally adopted in 1828. The philosophy of the Democratic-Republican party, also known as Jeffersonian Democracy, favored rural, agricultural interests, strong states' rights, and strict construction (that is, interpretation) of the U.S. Constitution. Democratic-Republicans upheld the legitimacy of the French Revolution and opposed close ties with England. Democratic Party Democratic Party, one of the two main political parties of the United States.

THE APPOINTMENT OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES: III JOHN P. FRANK Two HITS, ONE ERROR The first representative of the New Freedom was to be the last apostle of the Old Deal on the Supreme Court. Hence the great mystery of James Clark McReynolds is how he ever came to be a Justice in the first place. Woodrow Wilson sincerely desired to put liberals on the Court, and the choices of John H. Clarke and Louis D. Brandeis mark two great successes in this attempt. Yet, perhaps by confusing a zeal for anti-trust law enforcement with liberalism, Wilson managed to choose the most conservative Justice since Stephen J. Field. Born at Elkton, Kentucky, in 1862, McReynolds soon moved to Tennessee, where he became a successful lawyer and real estate dealer. He was secretary to Justice Howell Jackson during the latter's short term on the Supreme Court in the 1890's and from 1900 to 1903 he was a professor of law at Vanderbilt.

    Guide to a Microfilm Edition of The National Nonpartisan League Papers Deborah K. Neubeck MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY' ST. PAUL' 1970 --, COPYRIGIIT, 1970 © BY THE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY STANDARD BOOK NUMBER: 87351-058-5 This pamphlet and the microfilm edition of the Nattonal Nonpartisan League Papers which it describes were made possible by a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission to the Minnesota Historical Society. ---- --- --'--~~--------------~------j Introduction THE NATIONAL NONPARTISAN LEAGUE PAPERS are the fifth of the Minnesota Historical Society's collections to be microfilmed under a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission. They document the league's meteoric rise to power in 1915-16 and its equally rapid decline as a regional political movement by 1924, although it remained a force in the state of its birth- North Dakota- for a generation thereafter and cast a long shadow in shaping and flavoring the political traditions of a number of other states. The economic ills of the midwestern farmer provided the reason for the league's birth; the direct primmy provided the mechanism which made it possible. Arthur C. Townley, a native of Browns Valley, Minnesota, gave the organization the dominant, dynamic leadership that carried it to power with the help of other forceful and articulate spokesmen of, faITIl protest such as Charles A. Lindhergh, Sr., Lynn J. Frazier, William J. Lemke, Arthur Le Sueur, and Hemy G. Teigan, whose papers for 1916-23 aTe included in the microfihn as a supplement. The -league was an unusual experiment in American politics. It advocated public ownership and control as a solution for economic problems, and it won the opportunity to put its proposals to work on a state-wide scale with North Dakota as its chief laboratory.
