1920List2706Chicago or New York 1920. 6 x 9 inches single sided. Toning several small stains small fold at top left corner; near fine. An anonymous handbill decrying lynching in the United States and advertising the differences in anti-lynching policy between the Republican and Democratic parties. The header states that “Everyone agrees that lynching is the chief crime against the colored man in the United States†and the remainder illustrates the great disagreement over just what to do about it. The left column quotes the Republican platform and its then-nominees Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who would shortly be elected to office on their support for federal anti-lynching legislation. The right column points out that the Democratic platform and its nominees James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt all “said: NOTHING!†on this issue. Lynching would not be made a federal hate crime until 2022 nearly 100 years later. As of writing we find no other copies of this handbill in OCLC. unknown

18643721N.p. but most likely Newark N.J. 1864. Good plus. Letterpress broadside printed in two columns 16.5 x 10 inches. Old folds small chip to top outer margin two tiny holes affecting just a few letters. A very rare Unionist broadside supporting the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in the critical presidential contest of 1864. The present broadside was authored in early June 1864 by New Jersey Republican Party stalwart Horace N. Congar an editor diplomat and politician who was at that time serving as U.S. consul to Hong Kong. In this rather stirring broadside which Congar writes from his position in Hong Kong he lauds "the thousands of earnest faithful men who are giving freely of their blood and treasure to the suppression of this infamous rebellion" and "the noble daring the undaunted courage and the determined valour of our brave soldiers of Freedom" and urges that "in November New Jersey will stand in the unbroken rank of States giving their verdict for the Party of Union." He also spends considerable space discussing the clear role of "the social moral and political evil" of slavery as the precipitating event of the Civil War. Congar writes that "the evil it has wrought was as natural as the poisoned breath of the Upas tree." Stated clearly Congar writes "I heartily rejoice at the destruction of slavery" and looks forward to the time when "I shall tread my native land with a newer life if within its boundless domain there shall not be heard the clanking chain or the cry of the suffering and the oppressed."<br /> <br /> "Horace Newton Congar 1817-1893 was a radical republican politician during the midnineteenth century and served on both the state and national levels. Mr. Congar had a great love for his party and hope for its success which is reflected in his writing . Horace Newton Congar was born in Newark on July 31 1817. He married Isabell Reeves and had two children; a daughter Ella and a son Horace Junior. Horace Congar taught school for a while and he studied law in his leisure time. He was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar in 1847 and later Cornelius Boice of Plainfield and Lewis Grove of Newark were his law partners. Congar was a friend of the abolitionist cause and he was one of the founders of the antislavery Free Soil Party in New Jersey. The party slogan ‘Free Soil Free Speech Free Labor and Free Men’ basically described the party platform. Congar later became a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican National Convention in 1848 which was held in Buffalo. He supported the nomination of Van Buren for president and Adams for vice-president" - New Jersey Historical Society.<br /> <br /> A rare and unusual Lincoln campaign broadside with just two physical copies in OCLC at AAS and Middlebury College. unknown

Good.<br /> <br /> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New Yorkers urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. The dangers of jealousy among the States require that "Virginia herself as she values the confederation should abdicate a situation which she cannot retain without wounding the feelings of her associates and weakening their attachment for our union."<br /> The Committee objects to nominations by "congressional caucus" which favors Madison. The Constitution requires that the President be chosen "by the States composing the Union in their separate sovereign capacities each state voting in the ratio of its population." The Committee also criticizes Madison's conduct of the War of 1812. The Address is signed in type at the end by 16 New Yorkers.<br /> AI 25250 7 26pp. Sabin 13725. Pelsue and Gould unknown

Sporadic browning occasional ink annotations to margins and text sympathetic repair of tear to title of second work. Tables of eligible electors and their respective votes for the Wiltshire county poll of 1772 between candidates Ambrose Goddard and Henry Herbert. The latter polled well on the August 18th opening only to rapidly lose the majority over the next four days as Goddard's supporters rolled in to secure superiority of over two votes to one. When the poll closed it was said that Goddard had a substantial number of voters left. Given that half of Herbert's supporters polled on day one when no oath had been taken the likelihood is that Goddard's victory was even more decisive than the final count suggests.

184834739Newport 1848. 24pp. Disbound printed in two columns per page. Light wear faint blindstamp on final leaf. Good<br /> <br /> On "the wisdom and good policy" of the Whigs' 1848 nomination of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore for the presidency. The pamphlet soothes the wounds of the failed candidates and their supporters: Winfield Scott the "noble old chief who had just carried the eagles of our Republic in triumph over the mountains of Mexico;" Henry Clay "the gallant chivalrous and accomplished statesman of the West;" Webster "the strong towering giant defender of the constitution of the North." <br /> "Circumstances demanded the nomination of another patriotic whig as the standard bearer of our party." Taylor is a man of "TRUTH JUSTICE INTEGRITY FIDELITY and a NOBLE GENEROSITY." In this complicated election the Whigs had to contend not only with the Democrats and their nominee Lewis Cass but also with former President Martin Van Buren and his Free Soil Party. Seeking to hold the votes of anti-slavery Whigs this pamphlet derides Van Buren's last-minute conversion: his record shows a complete subservience to the Slave Power. <br /> Sabin 70526.

The Federal Election Commission FEC is the independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House Senate Presidency and the Vice Presidency. In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. Following reports of serious financial abuses in the 1972 presidential campaign Congress amended the Federal Election Campaign Act in 1974 to set limits on contributions by individuals political parties and PACs. The 1974 amendments also established an independent agency the FEC. The FEC opened its doors in 1975. Not until 1974 following the documentation of campaign abuses in the 1972 Presidential elections did a consensus emerge to create an independent body to ensure compliance with the campaign finance laws. Comprehensive amendments to the FECA P.L. No. 93-443 established the Federal Election Commission an independent agency to assume the administrative functions previously divided between Congressional officers and GAO. The Commission was given jurisdiction in civil enforcement matters authority to write regulations and responsibility for monitoring compliance with the FECA. Additionally the amendments transferred from GAO to the Commission the function of serving as a national clearinghouse for information on the administration of elections. Under the 1974 amendments the President the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate each appointed two of the six voting Commissioners. The Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House were designated nonvoting ex-officio Commissioners. The first Commissioners were sworn in on April 14 1975. The 1974 amendments also completed the system currently used for the public financing of Presidential elections. The amendments provided for partial Federal funding in the form of matching funds for Presidential primary candidates and also extended public funding to political parties to finance their Presidential nominating conventions. Complementing these provisions Congress also enacted strict limits on both contributions and expenditures. These limits applied to all candidates for Federal office and to political committees influencing Federal elections. Another amendment relaxed a 1939 prohibition on contributions from Federal government contractors. The FECA as amended now permitted corporations and unions with Federal contracts to establish and operate PACs. The Federal Election Commission hardcover

In 1971 Congress consolidated its earlier reform efforts in the Federal Election Campaign Act FECA instituting more stringent disclosure requirements for federal candidates political parties and political action committees PACs. Still without a central administrative authority the campaign finance laws were difficult to enforce. FECA has been amended in 1976 after the Supreme Court struck down several provisions as unconstitutional in Buckley v. Valeo. Buckley v. Valeo 424 U.S. 1 1976 was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court on campaign finance. A majority of justices held that as provided by section 608 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 limits on election expenditures are unconstitutional. In a per curiam by the Court opinion they ruled that expenditure limits contravene the First Amendment provision on freedom of speech because a restriction on spending for political communication necessarily reduces the quantity of expression. It limited disclosure provisions and limited the Federal Election Commission's power.<br /> By some measures Buckley is the longest opinion ever issued by the Supreme Court.
