Download or read book Roger C Sullivan and the Making of the Chicago Democratic Machine 1881 1908 written by Richard Allen Morton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominating the Windy City for decades, the Chicago Democratic Machine has become a fixture in American political history. Under Mayor Richard J. Daley, it acquired almost mythical (perhaps notorious) status. Yet its origins have remained murky--some say is began as a shady enterprise during the ethnic upheaval of the late 1920s. Based upon new research, this book offers a fresh perspective. Formed through factional warfare and consolidated with methods borrowed from the business world, the Machine grew out of the unfettered capitalism of the late 19th century. Its principal founder and first "boss," Roger C. Sullivan, represented a generation of businessmen-politicians who emerged in the 1880s. Sullivan and his allies created an informal public power structure that, while serving their own interests, also made government more functional. The Machine is a product of America's Gilded Age and the Progressive Era and offers a lesson in the advantages and limitations of representative government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Democracy, Vol. 3: A History of the Party and Its Representative Members, Past and Present Henry Horner, who is now serving his first term as governor of the state of Illinois, holds the distinction of being the third democratic governor of the state in the last forty years, his two predecessors having been Altgeld and Dunne. During the period in which he has held this high administrative office, he has demonstrated rare executive ability in affairs of state and in the conduct of those numerous and responsible duties which are assigned to him. Henry Horner was born in Chicago, Illinois, on the 30th of November, 1878, and is a son of Solomon A. And Dilah (horner) Horner. His earliest education was obtained in the public schools of his native city, after which he studied at the Chicago Manual Training School and the South Side Academy. He entered the Chicago Kent College of Law and received his Bachelor of Arts degree therefrom in 1898. He was admitted to the bar in 1899. Governor Horner also holds the Doctor of Laws degree from both the Lincoln Memorial University of Tennessee and Knox College of Galesburg, Illinois. In 1899, Governor Horner established himself in practice in Chicago, in partnership with Frank A. Whitney, whose father, Henry C. Whitney, was a law partner of Abraham Lincoln. The reputation of the state's present gover nor as a young lawyer quickly grew and his ability in litigation became widely recognized. He became vitally interested in civic affairs, and studied thor oughly the problems which entered into the social and civic life of the city. Naturally he became'a figure before the public, and in 1911 he was made a member of the Chicago Charter Convention. In 1914, he was nominated by the democratic party of Cook county for probate judge and was elected. For five terms thereafter, each of four years, he was reelected, each time with increasing majority, which is indicative of the character of his regime. Many innovations in court procedure were made by him during his tenure of office, many of his ideas now being put into effect in probate courts of other states. Among these may be mentioned the Horner Plan, which provides for care of all war veterans' estates entirely without legal costs, expenses or attorney's fees to the beneficiaries. Labor troubles and other conflicts provided other fields in which he could manifest his ability as an arbitrator, and he was a leading factor in the work of many commissions which had to do with social and public welfare problems. Naturally, these activities of Judge Horner led to bigger opportunities. His worth became known all over the state and as early as 1931 the movement to place him in the governor's chair started. By an overwhelming vote in the April primaries-of 1932, he won the democratic nomination, and on November 8th following he was elected by a landslide vote.
