Strom Thurmond

108th United States Congress

AllRefer.com - Trent Lott (U.S. History, Biography) - Encyclopedia Lott was subsequently minority leader (2001–3), resigning after he was widely criticized for remarks at a birthday party for Senator Strom Thurmond in which he implied that the United States would have better off if the 1948 presidential election had been won by Thurmond (who ran on a segregationist platform). Already a conservative, he became a Republican and was elected to the House of Representatives in 1972, serving as House Republican whip from 1981 to 1988, when he first won election to the Senate. He became Senate whip in 1994, and when the majority leader, Bob Dole, resigned to run for the presidency in mid-1996, Senate Republicans chose the gregarious, telegenic, and more strongly conservative Lott to succeed him. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/L/LottTrnt.html

Handbook of Texas Online: JOHNSON, LYNDON BAINES His Senate race against Coke Stevenson in 1948 remains one of the most controversial episodes in the history of American elections. In 1941 he ran for the Senate from Texas but was narrowly defeated in a special election. In the 1964 election, Johnson carried Texas by an overwhelming margin, swept Senator Yarborough to reelection against the Republican candidate, George H. Bush, and slowed the emergence of the GOP as a serious challenge to Democratic supremacy in Texas. www.tsha.utexas.edu /handbook/online/articles/view/JJ/fjo19.html   (1809 words)

LBJ And The 1948 Senate Race Some aspects of the 1948 election were still in court at the time of the Kennedy assassination. When newsman Bill Mason began looking into South Texas political corruption as a result of the 1948 election furor, he was fatally shot by one of the Jim Wells County deputy sheriffs, Sam Smithwick. On election days, armed "pistoleros" hired for the day as "deputy sheriffs" would escort Hispanic voters to the polls and hand them a poll tax receipt and a completed ballot. uweb.txstate.edu /~lf14/conspire/lbj.html   (1363 words)

Parliament of Australia: Senate: Briefs - 9 A major change to the Senate occurred in 1948 when the federal Parliament adopted the proportional representation electoral system for Senate elections, which is still used for Senate elections today (see Senate Brief No. 1). United States Senators were appointed by state legislatures until the United States Constitution was amended in 1913, but for many years some states had held popular elections to determine their appointees to the Senate. It was generally accepted throughout the conventions of 1891 and 1897–8 that the Senate should be able to initiate and amend any type of bill except a money bill, and that it should be able to reject any bill. www.aph.gov.au /senate/pubs/briefs/brief9.htm   (6980 words)

Should the Australian Electoral System be Changed? (Current Issues Brief 10 1998-99) One unanticipated consequence of the 1948 change to proportional representation for Senate elections, has been the propensity of many voters to vote for one party in lower house elections and for another for the upper house. After three uncontroversial elections in the first decade, in the 1910 election all 18 Senate seats were won by Labor, and in 1917 the eighteen were all won by the Nationalists. Before this change, the fact that five were to be elected in half-Senate elections meant that it was always possible that one party could gain a majority of Senate seats decided in a particular year-in 1955, for instance the Coalition won 17 of 30 seats across the nation. www.aph.gov.au /library/pubs/CIB/1998-99/99cib10.htm   (5441 words)

Master of the Senate - The Years of Lyndon Johnson - The Yale Review of Books The first two volumes, The Path to Power and Means of Ascent, covered Johnson's life from birth to his 1948 election to the Senate. In Master of the Senate, the focus shifts from Texas to Washington, to the story of how a first-term senator, elected by the slimmest and most dubious of margins, became the most powerful majority leader in Senate history. Caro begins by describing the Senate as it was in 1948. www.yalereviewofbooks.com /archive/fall02/review17.shtml.htm   (550 words)

Master of the Senate - Mises Institute This third book in Caro's series begins with LBJ's arrival in the U.S. Senate as a junior senator--a seat he stole his way into after a crooked 1948 Texas election, a bit of skullduggery which Caro documented in Means of Ascent, the previous installment of this series. By 1968, this former "master of the Senate," this once-popular president who had won a lopsided victory in the 1964 election by charging that Barry Goldwater would start World War III, was so hated that he restricted his public appearances primarily to military bases. All of a sudden, LBJ, the tacit supporter of the Jim Crow Southern senators in the 1950s, was singing "We Shall Overcome." In Vietnam, this devious, I-will-be-all-things-to-all-people formula met its match, but not before some 50,000 Americans and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese had died in a war that the U.S. easily could have avoided. www.mises.org /fullstory.asp?control=975&FS=Master+of+the+Senate   (1361 words)
