Massachusetts Election of 1878ABAA

MR. WALLACE FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE TO INQUIRE INTO ALLEGED FRAUDS IN THE LATE ELECTIONS SUBMITTED THE FOLLOWING REPORT.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1840ABAA

Ohio And Pennsylvania Politicians Reflect On The State Of Pennsylvania Politics Just After The 1840 Election Of William Henry Harrison To The Presidency

5149PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1840. ALS. 2pgs. November 18 1840. Cincinnati Ohio. An autograph letter signed â€œJ Burnetâ€ by Ohio lawyer and politician Jacob Burnet 1770-1853. It is addressed to James Dunlap of Pittsburg. Burnet replies to Dunlapâ€™s letter stating his concerns about Pennsylvania politics in light of the recent 1840 Presidential election in which William Henry Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren. Harrison would die only a month into his Presidency. Mentioning a â€œschismâ€ at one point Burnet seems to anticipate the national divide that would eventually lead to the American Civil War although this may have referred to economic issues rather than the question of slavery: â€œDear Sir I have received your letter of the 12th inst and read it with interest. The matter it containsâ€¦the view you have taken of the state of parties in Penna are highly interesting and are certainly entitled to serious consideration. The mixture of parties of which you speak as having taken place in the late struggle can not as you observeâ€¦There is reason to fear that when the cause whichâ€¦the union the fruits of which we have just gathered shall warn so often at the repelling principleâ€¦will throw the parts from each other as far as they win before the conflict began unless something can be done to effect such a permanent combination as you refer to. I confess I now have understood the theory of partyâ€¦as they have existed in and have agitated your state or the principles on which they have been found or by which they areâ€¦I can however easilyâ€¦schism may be the result of such an injudicious course on the part of theâ€¦you are anxious to prevent. It would give mow me great pleasure to be instrumental in preventing the wit you depict so strikingly were it in my power. I was known unequal to the task because I have no claims to the confidence of the General beyond those of his friends generally not because in addition to this I could not point him to the parties or the persons as to whom he ought to be on his guard. A frank communication from a confidential friend in Penna who understands the whole subject would receive the attention it deserves. An intelligent Pennaâ€¦can communicate the specific information necessary to show him the danger and the mode of avoiding it. Advice or caution in a care like this to have its proper influence should come from the power of information. Your views on the subject of claims founded on services rendered in the late political contest are precisely those I entertain and express on all occasions and I have reason to believe the General looks on the subject though the same medium and views it in the same light. If our motives have been patriotic our labor has been done for the country and success is our only legitimate reward. If they have been personal they are not praiseworthy and ought not to be rewarded. I am confident that president elect views the matter in that light and that he does not feel personal obligations to any body on account of no part taken in the contest. If this be not so I have very much misunderstood his character. Yours very respectfully J Burnetâ€. The letter is in very good condition with a loss to the back page that does not affect any content. A reminder of the eternal contention and controversy in American political elections. unknown books

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1936ABAA

Artwork for FDRâ€™s 1936 Reelection Campaign proposed by Artist Franz Felix

193624942This sheet contains five rough sketches of graphics calling on the workers and voters of America to support Franklin D. Roosevelt's reelection in 1936. They did in record numbers. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1936.Typed Document Signed. Artwork by Franz Felix and Ideas and Copy by Richard Barron "Set of Rough Sketches Containing Some Suggested Promotion Ideas to be Used in the 1936 Democratic Presidential Campaign" July 2 1936. 1 p. 12 x 10Â½ in. Excerpts:"1. Sounding the call against 'economic royalists' in the spirit of 1776.""2. Appropriating the well-known symbol of violence upraised fist diverting it to peaceful democratic use. To include the farmer phrase the appeal: TOILERS OF AMERICA â€“ UNITE FOR ROOSEVELT.""3. The statue of 'The Thinker' as a symbol of the man today who thinks the toiler with brawn and brain.everyman.""4. Direct appeal to radical labor and leftists in general.""5. Another way of appealing to the working class men and women.""This collaborative effort respectfully submitted for consideration to the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Mr. James A. Farley."Historical BackgroundAfter unseating incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover in 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for reelection in 1936. His Republican opponent was Governor Alf Landon of Kansas. Although the Great Depression had entered its eighth year Roosevelt's New Deal policies were broadly popular. He won the highest share of the popular and electoral vote since the uncontested 1820 election. Roosevelt attracted more than 60 percent of the popular vote and won the electoral votes of 46 states; Landon won the electoral votes of only Maine and Vermont.Democratic Party chairman James Farley had predicted that Roosevelt would lose only Maine and Vermont. After the results of the 1936 election Farley quipped that the nation needed to revise the conventional political wisdom of "As Maine goes so goes the nation" to "As Maine goes so goes Vermont."These ideas for campaign imagery employed or modified common images to support Roosevelt's campaign. One drew on the imagery of artist Archibald Willard's 1875 painting The Spirit of '76 and employed three figures of workers to match the subjects of Willard's image. Another appropriated the upraised fist as a symbol of violence and repurposed it as a symbol of defiant unity against "economic royalists." A third used an image of The Thinkerby French sculptor Auguste Rodin 1840-1917 to appeal to thinking voters. Another image appeals to the fears of radicals that the alternative to Roosevelt is "Reaction."Richard Barron and artist Franz Felix submitted these ideas to Democratic National Committee chairman James A. Farley on July 2 1936 three weeks before the Democratic Party held its convention in Philadelphia. There is no evidence that these images were used in the campaign and it is possible that Farley rejected them. At the end of the campaign the Democratic National Committee had a campaign deficit of approximately $850000. To help offset those expenses the treasurer convinced President Roosevelt to sign 2500 brief Forewords which were bound into The Democratic Book 1936 and sent to donors of $250. Purchases brought in more than $400000 for the party and led Republicans to charge corrupt practices for allowing corporations to contribute to the campaign by buying copies.Franz Felix 1892-1967 was born in Vienna Austria and developed an ability as a child to draw portraits in charcoal. He studied portraiture in Vienna and immigrated to the United States shortly after World War I. He settled in San Francisco where he established himself as a portrait artist and commercial illustrator. In the late 1920s he moved to New York and established a studio in the suburb of Spring Valley where he produced book and magazine illustrations. During World War II he painted a series of murals of wartime activities of Spring Valley residents.James A. Farley 1888-1976 was born in New York into an Irish Catholic family. After his father died he helped his mother with a small business to support the family. After graduating from Packard Business College in New York City where he studied bookkeeping and other business skills Farley got a job with the U.S. Gypsum Corporation. He served as a Democratic town clerk in Stony Point New York and became chairman of the county's Democratic Party in 1918. He organized upstate Democrats and helped elect Alfred E. Smith as Governor that year. He served in the New York State Assembly in 1923 but was defeated at the next election for supporting the repeal of Prohibition. As chair of the state Athletic Commission Farley fought for the civil rights of African American athletes. Farley founded he General Builders Corporation from smaller firms to become New York City's largest building supply company. Farley directed Franklin D. Roosevelt's narrowly successful New York gubernatorial campaign in 1928 and his reelection in 1930. Farley served as chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee from 1930 to 1944 and helped build the national New Deal coalition that elected Roosevelt to the Presidency four times. In 1932 Farley became the chairman of the Democratic National Committee and in 1933 U.S. Postmaster General. He held both positions until 1940. Farley and Roosevelt broke on the two-term tradition of the Presidency in 1940 and he later helped propose the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limiting a person to two elections as president approved by Congress in 1947 and ratified in 1951. Farley became chairman of the board of the Coca-Cola Export Corporation in 1940 and held that position for more than thirty years. books

Republican Party. Free Trade. Election of 1894ABAA

Three Pamphlets Issues by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee on Free Trade

189443553n.p.: Hartman & Cadick 1894. First editions. Self wrappers. Good to very good. 8 pp. 8 pp. 8 pp. 8vo. The mid-term elections of 1884 were a disaster for the Democrats led by Grover Cleveland. Republicans and Populists in large part due to the efforts of Joseph Weeks Babcock 1850-1909 a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin who helped organize the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1893 and was a major force in routing the Democrats in the 1894 House elections which cost the Democrats 113 of their 218 seats. They are most likely printed by Hartman & Cadick Republican printers. All follow the same format of quoting leading figures and using bold face type. 1: Caption title "If the Laboring Class be to Perish I Say the Whole Nation." A the head of the title: No. 1 - From the Congressional Record. The caption title is from the English Reformer William Cobbett followed by "You cannot reduce the laborer to a state of starvation and degradation without also destroying national prosperity" a quote from Joseph Norton Dolph 1835-1897 Senator from Oregon from one of his many speeches quoted here. OCLC locates only a single copy at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center. A very good copy docketed on front wrapper mail fold. 2: Caption title "The industrial side of the tariff controversy must not be overlooked. The four millions of people who work in our factory system are the most potent factors outside of agriculture in our civilization." - Hon. J. W. Babcock Wisconsin. A the head of the title: Record No. 3. Apparently unrecorded. We could find no copies in OCLC NUC or other reference sources. Chip to front wrapper else very good with docketing stamp. 3: Caption title "When you Rob the Laboring Men of their Employment you Rob the Farmers of their Customers." The quote from the caption title belongs to Charles Curtis 1860-1936 Republican from Kansas who would go on to become Hoover's Vice President. OCLC locates one copy at the Western Reserve Historical Society Library. A good copy browned some minor chipping docketing stamp on front wrapper. [Hartman & Cadick?] unknown books

Tennessee: Confederacy: Election TicketABAA

FOR GOVERNOR. HON. ROBERT L. CARUTHERS caption title

1863WRCAM53688Winchester 1863. Broadside 5 x 3 3/4 inches. Toned minor soiling and wrinkling. Very good. An exceedingly rare Confederate Tennessee state election ticket from 1863 nominating Robert L. Caruthers for governor and eleven others as state senators. In 1863 state elections were due in Tennessee. The state was fractured by war and secession and both Unionists and Confederates expressed the desire to hold elections for state government. Confederate supporters held a convention in Winchester and nominated a governor the State Legislature and members for the Confederate Congress. It was a bit of a fool's errand. Isham G. Harris who still considered himself the governor of Tennessee issued a proclamation calling for the election to be held on the first Thursday in August. Just who voted and how many or how few will probably never be known. According to historians the State Archives in Nashville are scant and inconclusive; returns from only thirty-two counties are found some of which reported the vote of only one civil district. Not a single report was from West Tennessee counties and only eight Middle Tennessee counties made returns. Robert L. Caruthers was elected governor on the face of returns but he was never inaugurated and thus never served a day as governor of Tennessee. No Confederate State Legislature ever convened either. The Confederate Congressmen were the only lucky ones. Those who were elected in 1863 took their seats in Richmond however briefly. George Webb notes this copy in his NOT IN ALLEN bibliography in 2013. Not in Parrish & Willingham. The only other copy or shall we say copies resides at the Library of Virginia in an uncut sheet of six tickets. This will likely be the only copy ever available in the marketplace. WEBB NOT IN ALLEN 199 this copy. unknown books
