 Welcome to the University of Arkansas Press
This biography is a fitting tribute to the life and accomplishments of Senate majority leader Joseph Taylor Robinson, undoubtedly one of the most powerful U.S. senators of the early twentieth century.
Weller uses the story of Robinson's life to illuminate the inner chambers of the Senate and to explore such controversial issues as the Versailles Peace Treaty/League of Nations, the Teapot Dome Scandal, the legislation of the "first 100 days" of the New Deal, and FDR's plan to "pack" the Supreme Court.
The study further chronicles Robinson's run for the vice-presidency in 1928, the first southerner on a major ticket after the Civil War, and his three terms as chairman of the Democratic National Convention, in 1920, 1928, and 1936.

 TIME.com: Bailey v. Miller -- Oct. 25, 1937 -- Page 1
Last week, 96 days after the late great Joseph Taylor Robinson died in the heat of the Senate battle over Franklin Roosevelt's plan to enlarge the Supreme Court, Arkansas voters went to the polls to pick his successor.
Instead, last August he chose what then appeared to be the even less risky method of having himself nominated by the State Democratic Committee on the ground that 120 days was not enough time to hold a primary and an election.
Last summer, anti-Bailey Democrats, including the late Joe Robinson's faction of the party, held a convention of their own, nominated for Senator their own candidate, Arkansas'; Representative John Elvis Miller.
