A Souvenir of Massachusetts Legislators 1917 A SOUVENIR OF MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS 1917 Vol XXVI \ Published by ArAI^SRIDGMAN Stoughton. Mass. Pliotograplis from Jolley, 304 Boylston Street, Boston Engravings by Star Engraving Co.. 117 Summer Street, Boston Composition and Presswork ty The Pcqua Press, Inc., StougKton, Me OCT 9 1947 STATE HOubt, BOSTON PREFACE "Coming events cast their shadows before,"—and the coming of the Constitutional Convention cast a "shadow" over many measures that would otherwise have taken the time of the Legislature of 1917. "Coming ev- ents cast their shadows before,"—and the coming of the Country into the greatest war of history also had its effect upon the Legislature of 1917. It had new and grave issues to meet and it met them wisely and well. It made generous provision for the men in uniform, who were to be called to fight for American principles, and also generous provision for the welfare of those dependent upon them. Doubtless a longer experience with the conduct of the war would have broadened and deepened the currents of legislation ; but any sins of omission will be corrected by legislators who will follow those of 1917. Especially notable was the reception on Satur- day, May 12, of Marshal JofTre and his fellow-representatives of the French Republic, a fuller account of which is given on page 19. Such an event is without parallel in the history of any Legislature. The zeal and efficiency of the members was proven by making the session really the shortest for many years, while it was prolonged several days by "war" legislation. The great preponderance of Republicans tended to lessen party considerations; and the legislation, as a whole, was progressive, sound and for the public interest. The members were in close touch with the desires of their con- stituents and with those of vhe Adniinistration, uo there was a co-ordination of effort for the public good. A.

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • Dead Last: the Public Memory of Warren G. Harding's Scandalous
    Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 1 Questions Asked Democracy has no monuments. It strikes no medals. It bears the head of no man on a coin. —John Quincy Adams To enter into any serious historical criticism of these stories [regarding George Washington’s childhood] would be to break a butterfly. 1 —Henry Cabot Lodge Harding and the Log Cabin Myth Warren G. Harding’s story is an American myth gone wrong. As our twenty-ninth president, Harding occupied the office that stands at the symbolic center of American national identity.1 Harding’s biography should have easily slipped into American history and mythology when he died in office, on August 2, 1923. Having been born to a humble midwestern farm family, what better ending could there be to his story than death in the service of his nation? What stronger image could stand as a lasting tribute than grieving citizens lining the railroad tracks, as they had for Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley, to view Har- ding’s body? The public grief that accompanied the passing of Harding’s burial train would seem to have foreshadowed a positive place in the national memory. Warren and Florence Harding were laid to rest in a classically designed marble mau- soleum in their hometown of Marion, Ohio, a mausoleum that was the last great memorial in the older style popular before the rise of presidential libraries. However, the near perfection Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 2 Dead Last of his political biography and his contemporary popularity did not follow him into history.

  • Former Women Members “I’M No Lady, I’M a Member of Congress”
    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.
