	Thomas Brackett Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Brackett Reed (October 18, 1839 – December 7, 1902) was a U.S. Representative from Maine, and Speaker of the House from 1889–1891 and from 1895–1899.
		Reed gained the support of young Theodore Roosevelt, whose influence with the newly elected delegate from the Dakota territories was the decisive factor.
		Reed set out to put into practical effect his dictum that "The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch"; this was accomplished by carefully studying the existing procedures of the U.S. House, most dating to the original designs written by Thomas Jefferson.

	Thomas Brackett Reed - LoveToKnow 1911
		THOMAS BRACKETT REED (1839-1902),1902), American statesman, was born in Portland, Maine, on the 18th of October 1839.
		The "Reed Rules," drawn up by him, William McKinley and J. Cannon, were adopted on the 14th of February 1890; they provided that every member must vote, unless pecuniarily interested in a measure, that members present and not voting may be counted for a quorum, and that no dilatory motion be entertained by the speaker.
		Reed was a remarkable personality, of whom many good stories were told, and opinions varied as to his conduct in the chair; but he was essentially a man of rugged honesty and power, whose death was a loss to American public life.

	Hale Tribute to Thomas Brackett Reed
		Yet brilliant as was Reed's record as a debater and as a party and parliamentary leader, he is best and most justly recalled as the Speaker who by giving a bold and courageous interpretation to the rules of this House rescued its procedure from discredit and enabled it to transact the Nation's business.
		Reed alone remained calm, and when the House for a moment subsided he persisted in his count of Democrats present and not answering to the roll call.
		Reed then stated at length the legal and constitutional reasons for his ruling with the precedents from other bodies in its support.
