  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.

NORRIS IN THE,1942 . , NEBRASKA SENATORIAL ELECTION Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE ?fy" purpose in preparing this study is to present an account of the senatorial election of 1942 in Nebraska and significant political trends within the state, and in so doing explain the political background of George W. Norris up to the time of his defeat. The primary campaign and the activities of both the Republican and Democratic senatorial nominees are also a vital part of the paper. The thesis is not, however, intended to be merely a relating of events, but is designed to present an analysis of the defeat of the central figure, George Norris. It is my sincere hope that it will in some way contribute both to a more profound under­ standing of an evolving political pattern in Nebraska and to a greater insight into the political career of George W. Norris, one of America 's most able and dedicated public servants. There are a number of people to whom I would like to express my thanks for their help during the writing and the preparation of this thesis: Dro Jerome Tweton for encouraging me to pursue this particular topic; Dro James Olson, who was instrumental in helping me gain access to the Wherry papers; Eugene Johnson, who allowed me to use t he fa­ cilities of Love Library; and the library staff at Omaha University for their fine cooperation.

It was the 75th anniversary of the first Admiralship being presented and the 20th Anniversary of the Nebraska Admirals Association. Included in this edition is the history of the Admiralship and the Association. History of the Admiralship In 1931, then-Nebraska Lt. Gov. Theodore W. Metcalf, a Republican, found himself to be acting Governor for several weeks when Gov. Charles Bryan (a Democrat and brother to William Jennings Bryan) was out of the state. Bryan usually didn’t alert Metcalf of his absences; Metcalf found out by accident when Bryan’s secretary of state needed an official signature and advised Metcalf that he was the highest-ranking official in the state that day. Metcalf related this in a 1946 letter to Governor Griswold’s secretary, answering his inquiry about the origin of the Great Navy. Metcalf said he then asked to be notified when Bryan was out of the state. Pictured to the left: Former Lt. Gov.
