	Encyclopedia: Gough Whitlam
		(Senate elections at that time were not synchronised with House of Representative elections: at the time Whitlam took office, half the Senate had been elected two years previously, the other half five years earlier.) After 23 years of continuous conservative rule, the bureaucracy was unhelpful, and the conservative state governments were implacably opposed to reform.
		When Hubert Lazzarini, the sitting member for the safe Federal electoral seat of Werriwa, died in 1952, Whitlam was elected to the House of Representatives at the by-election on November 29 1952.
		His successor as Liberal Party leader, Harold Holt, led the coalition to a landslide election victory in November that year on the pro-American, pro- Vietnam War slogan "All the way with LBJ." This crushing defeat prompted Calwell to step down in early 1967.

		The party's leader in the Senate, Ernest McFarland of Arizona, had been defeated in the election of 1952, and Johnson's years of legislative experience and his connections with most factions of the party recommended him for the post.

		In 1964, Congress had been closely divided on the more controversial and liberal measures in Johnson's legislative program; now a clear majority was ready to vote for them.

	U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Officers & Staff > President Pro Tempore
		From John Adams in 1789 to Alben Barkley in 1952, presiding over the Senate was the chief function of vice presidents, who had an office in the Capitol, received their staff support and office expenses through the legislative appropriations, and who often were not invited to participate in cabinet meetings or other executive activities.
		Since vice presidents presided routinely in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Senate thought it necessary to choose a president pro tempore only for the limited periods when the vice president might be ill or otherwise absent.
		When we consider that the vice president used to be the Senate's regular presiding officer, we can better understand why the Constitution further provided that in the absence of the vice president the Senate could choose a president pro tempore to perform the duties of the chair.
