    Samuel Proctor Oral History Program College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Program Director: Dr. Paul Ortiz Office Manager: Tamarra Jenkins 241 Pugh Hall Digital Humanities Coordinator: Deborah Hendrix PO Box 115215 Gainesville, FL 32611 352-392-7168 352-846-1983 Fax The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (SPOHP) was founded by Dr. Samuel Proctor at the University of Florida in 1967. Its original projects were collections centered around Florida history with the purpose of preserving eyewitness accounts of economic, social, political, religious and intellectual life in Florida and the South. In the 45 years since its inception, SPOHP has collected over 5,000 interviews in its archives. Transcribed interviews are available through SPOHP for use by research scholars, students, journalists, and other interested groups. Material is frequently used for theses, dissertations, articles, books, documentaries, museum displays, and a variety of other public uses. As standard oral history practice dictates, SPOHP recommends that researchers refer to both the transcript and audio of an interview when conducting their work. A selection of interviews are available online here through the UF Digital Collections and the UF Smathers Library system. Suggested corrections to transcripts will be reviewed and processed on a case- by-case basis. Oral history interview transcripts available on the UF Digital Collections may be in draft or final format. SPOHP transcribers create interview transcripts by listening to the original oral history interview recording and typing a verbatim document of it. The transcript is written with careful attention to reflect original grammar and word choice of each interviewee; subjective or editorial changes are not made to their speech.

LOYALISTS AND REBELS: THE ELECTION OF 19?8 IN VIRGINIA by Susan Parker History Honors Seminar Mr. Jordan May 5, 1969 The election of 19~8 was a unique event in the political history of Virginia. For the first time since Reconstruction tbe state went Republican 1 in a national election, Herbert Hoover getting 53.9% of the total vote. This was not the beginning of a definite trend because the state did not go ? Republican in a presidential election again until 195~. The hold of the Democratic Party over the people appeared as strong as ever on both the local and national levels after this bolt. Since the Givil War the Republican Party in the South had been identified 3 with Reconstruction, emancipation, and civil rights for Negroes. It usually had little support. In Virginia this tendency to a one~party system was accentuated by the lack of several strong factions within the Democratic /Party, as was usual in most of the rest of the South.

Ile has never been subjected to the scrutiny of close and systematic study; ye� those familiar with his career, while not painting him as a wc�k governor, have not portraycci his administration as particularly striking either. Moreover, Stuart's relationship to the Demo­ cratic Party in the first two decades of this century is blurred. Some historians of the period place him squarely in the Martin org anization ranks as early as 1909; others consioer him an independent until 1920 at least. This essay seeks to clarify Stuart's political affilic1tions in Virginia. Moreover, while its sights are not firmly focused on hi� governorship, enough work has been done to indicate i i is major pcLicies as governor and to offer some evaluation of them. An iL-depth study of Stuart's a dministration, however, must await a iurcher study which is planned as a doctoral dissertation.
