He was born near Orlando, Cleveland County, Arkansas. Parnell was elected to the Arkansas House of Representatives from Chicot County in 1919, and to the State Senate representing Chicot and Ashley counties in 1923. In November 1926, he was the elected lieutenant governor in Arkansas, then became governor in 1928 following John E. Martineau's appointment as United States District Judge, and the next year was elected to the first of his two terms. In 1931, Parnell appointed Hattie Caraway to fill the United States Senate seat of her late husband, Thaddeus Caraway. Hattie later became the first woman elected to the United States Senate and served from 1932 to 1945. Parnell's term covered the first critical years of the Great Depression, and his administration worked with the federal government and other relief agencies to help the people of the state in agricultural, educational, and other matters relating to the economic depression. Parnell was seen as a progressive Democrat, who had both a business and an agricultural background. He supported the cigarette-tax law that helped to fund public schools in Arkansas in order to bring in more manufacturing companies. He was clear in his belief that all manufacturing business where being generated in states with good public school systems.

    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.

    I I Arkansas Post National Memorial I ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY I I I Signature Sheet I Prepared by: -,VXA cw^u.cr% 4^Q n Interpr ive Specialist (Historian), ARPO 1 I I I I I OFM!CROPILM I n I General Statement: Arkansas Post National Memorial commemorates the first settlement I in the lower Mississippi Valley. Originally established by the French as a fur-trading post in 1686, it became a minor military garrison. The location was shifted many times due to the vagaries of the Arkansas River and changes in ownership. By 1752 the Post I was established within present Park boundaries, and except for a short time in the early Spanish period, stayed here. When control passed to the United States in 1803, Arkansas Post was the major I settlement in this area, and was the territorial capitol from 1819-1821. After the capitol moved to Little Rock in 1821, the Post continued as a river port and trade center until its demise I during the Civil War. I I I I I I I I I I I 0 I I I. Arkansas Post is rediscovered Well into the 20th century, Arkansas Post was a somnolent hamlet of I about 100 people, surrounded by farm land, centering around Henry Jones' store, just to the north of the historic area. I The first stirring of interest in a memorial park was shown by Mrs. G. G. Lewis of Stuttgart, president of the Arkansas Authors' and Composers' Society. At a district organization meeting held in her home in November 1923, she proposed that some sort of memorial be I placed at the site.

At the bottom of the steps Vaughn Webb, an aide in the Secretary of State's office, presented Riley with an Arkansas state flag that had flown that morning of January 14, 1975, while several admirers applauded from the second floor railing above. Riley then left for Arkadelphia, where he would resume his role as head of the Political Science department at Ouachita Baptist University in time for spring registration. 1 So ended both the governorship and the political career of Dr.

  • Hattie and Huey: a Re-Examination of the Arkansas Senatorial Primary of 1932 Gary H
    Hattie and Huey: A Re-examination of the Arkansas Senatorial Primary of 1932 Gary H. Brooks Belmont Abbey College Abstract: The election of Hattie Caraway to the United States Senate in 1931 stands as one of the more remarkable events in Arkansas electoral history. The dominant view of the election credits her victory to the active intervention of Senator Huey P. Long and his extraordinary whirlwind speaking tour of Arkan­ sas on behalf of Mrs. Caraway. Utilizing multiple regression techniques, this paper derives estimates of the impact of Long's campaign on the outcome of the 1932 primary and concludes that Mrs. Caraway would have won a narrow victory without the active support of Long. In 1932, the voters of Arkansas conferred upon Hattie Caraway the distinction of becoming the first woman ever elected to serve a full six-year term in the United States Senate.
