XV CLUB PAPERS 4.25 Linear Ft UALR.0134 B-44 XV CLUB PAPERS 4.25 linear ft. 1904-present. Donated. Revised Jan. 2009 jlm This collection contains the organizational materials, presentations, minutes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other materials related to the XV Club of Little Rock, Arkansas. The organizational meeting of the XV Club was held at the office of Harmon L. Remmel on January 7, 1904. Carl E. Voss brought the idea of the club to Little Rock from Pine Bluff where an XV Club had been organized. Limited to 15 individuals, the club meets fifteen times during the year (October-May) and a different member hosts each meeting. According to Article 1 of the Constitution, "the object shall be social intercourse and the discussion of literary, scientific, historical, political, and all current topics; but no question having a sectarian bearing on Christianity shall be discussed in the Club." The minutes of the organizational meeting of January 7, 1904 also noted that the intent of the Club was to be "cultured but not too cultured, literary but not too literary, political but not too political, scientific but not too scientific, funny but not too funny, serious but not too serious. .” At the meeting, there were four founding members, Harmon L. Remmel (No. I), Charles McKee (No. II), Carl Voss (No. III), and Charles Ferguson (No. IV). A major goal of the Club is to invite guests to meetings to maintain attendance at 15. Guests have been noted in the minutes listing when available, along with the evening's topic. Topics varied from year to year and cover a wide range of interests, knowledge, and information. Historical, literary, and scientific events were presented along with current topics. For many years, the President’s State of the Union address was the topic of discussion for the January meeting. Many of the presentations contain material on prominent personalities or notable events of a particular time period (“The Panama Canal” at a 1904 meeting; “Huey Long” at a 1934-35 meeting; “the National Debt and the Marshall Plan” in 1947-48; “presidential succession” in 1964). Many of the presentations include information and history of events in Arkansas (e.g., a 1934-35 presentation on liquor control or a 1961-62 topic of lotteries). Others are merely humorous, such as “The Human Mind – Its Cause and Prevention”. For additional XV materials in other UALR manuscript collections, see also: E. B.

  • Fight for the Right: the Quest for Republican Identity in the Postwar Period
    FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT: THE QUEST FOR REPUBLICAN IDENTITY IN THE POSTWAR PERIOD By MICHAEL D. BOWEN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Michael D. Bowen ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication, but it would not have been possible without assistance and support from a number of individuals along the way. First and foremost, I have to thank God and my parents for all that they have done for me since before I arrived at the University of Florida. Dr. Brian Ward, whose admiration for West Ham United is only surpassed by his love for the band Gov’t Mule, was everything I could have asked for in an advisor. Dr. Charles Montgomery pushed and prodded me to turn this project from a narrow study of the GOP to a work that advances our understanding of postwar America. Dr. Robert Zieger was a judicious editor whose suggestions greatly improved my writing at every step of the way. Drs. George Esenwein and Daniel Smith gave very helpful criticism in the later stages of the project and helped make the dissertation more accessible. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students in the Department of History, especially the rest of “Brian Ward’s Claret and Blue Army,” for helping make the basement of Keene-Flint into a collegial place and improving my scholarship through debate and discussion.

The efforts of white planters to supplant the loss of enslaved labor due to the abolition of American slavery played a crucial role in re-making the southern agrarian economy in the early twentieth century. My research explores how the conspicuous features of sharecropping, tenant farming, peonage, or other variations of debt servitude became a means for the re-enslavement of African Americans in the Arkansas Delta.

  • Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930
    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.

  • The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas
    The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas Art English University of Arkansas at Little Rock This article examines the political styles of former U.S. Senators Dale Bumpers and David Pryor, both from Arkansas. It argues that both Pryor and Bumpers exhibited a representational style different from those of their regional colleagues and that this difference was in large part a product of the particular political culture of Arkansas. It also argues that the representational style of Bumpers and Pryor, intertwined with Arkansas’s political culture, has subsequently had a strong influence on the political and representational styles exhibited by both of Arkansas’s current United States Senators and that this Bumpers\Pryor model is likely to continue to influence the presentational and representational style of future members of the Arkansas congressional delegation. Introduction This article addresses the concept of senatorial political and representational style by focusing on two of Arkansas’s most renowned United States Senators: Dale Bumpers and David Pryor. Political style is particularly difficult to conceptualize and operationally apply because each political actor has unique political abilities and skills (English, 1993, 1997). Despite this intrinsic difficulty, congressional scholars have found that attention to stylistic differences across members provides rich insight into the institutional and member behaviors of Congress and that theory- building is not impossible (Mayhew; Sinclair; and Fenno, 1978). In addition, scholars have found that members of Congress pay attention to the norms and values of their constituencies’ political cultures in developing their representational styles. In particular, Richard Fenno has written most perceptively on the issues of political and representational styles in his classic work Home StyIe: House Members in Their District.
