Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference is the only book-length work to analyze all of the major speeches of one of the most significant politicians of the first part of the twentieth century, Robert La Follette, Sr. His speeches offer historic snapshots into the Progressive era and of the thinking of an outstanding governor of Wisconsin, U.S. senator, and social agitator. This rhetorical biography analyzes key speeches and provides texts demonstrating how Senator La Follette used melodramatic scenarios to enlist citizens in his reform crusade against the gravest danger that he saw in this country. This reference also provides texts of his most important speeches, a chronology of his major orations, and a lengthy bibliography. This unique volume is designed for students and specialists in political communication, rhetorical criticism, and American studies. This systematical analysis of Senator La Follette's public speeches is a short and highly readable history of the Progressive era, World War I and its aftermath, and the early 1920s from the perspective of a leading political figure of the times. The analysis of La Follette's rhetorical strategy illuminates his use of confrontational tactics, such as the filibuster in Congress to educate the voter and to plead for reforms that he considered essential. This reference provides the texts of five seminal orations and the most complete bibliography of speeches available to date.

Download or read book Progressivism A Very Short Introduction written by Walter Nugent and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of conservative dominance, the election of Barack Obama may signal the beginning of a new progressive era. But what exactly is progressivism? What role has it played in the political, social, and economic history of America? This very timely Very Short Introduction offers an engaging overview of progressivism in America--its origins, guiding principles, major leaders and major accomplishments. A many-sided reform movement that lasted from the late 1890s until the early 1920s, progressivism emerged as a response to the excesses of the Gilded Age, an era that plunged working Americans into poverty while a new class of ostentatious millionaires built huge mansions and flaunted their wealth. As capitalism ran unchecked and more and more economic power was concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, a sense of social crisis was pervasive. Progressive national leaders like William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette, and Woodrow Wilson, as well as muckraking journalists like Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell, and social workers like Jane Addams and Lillian Wald answered the growing call for change. They fought for worker's compensation, child labor laws, minimum wage and maximum hours legislation; they enacted anti-trust laws, improved living conditions in urban slums, instituted the graduated income tax, won women the right to vote, and laid the groundwork for Roosevelt's New Deal. Nugent shows that the progressives--with the glaring exception of race relations--shared a common conviction that society should be fair to all its members and that governments had a responsibility to see that fairness prevailed. Offering a succinct history of the broad reform movement that upset a stagnant conservative orthodoxy, this Very Short Introduction reveals many parallels, even lessons, highly appropriate to our own time. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some periods of American history, members of the legislative branch have been as influential, and sometimes more influential, than a particular president in crafting public policy and reacting to world events. Congressional Lions examines twelve influential members of Congress throughout American history to understand their role in shaping the life of the nation. The book does not focus exclusively on the biographical details of these lawmakers, although biography invariably plays a role in recalling their triumphs and tragedies. Instead, the book highlights members’ legislative accomplishments as well as the circumstances surrounding their congressional service.

Download or read book Belle La Follette written by Nancy C. Unger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1931, the New York Times hailed Belle Case La Follette as "probably the least known yet most influential of all the American women who have had to do with public affairs." A dedicated advocate for women's suffrage, peace, and other causes, she served as a key advisor to her husband, leading Progressive politician Robert La Follette. She also wielded considerable influence through her own speeches and journalism, as when she opposed racism by speaking out against the segregation of the federal government under President Woodrow Wilson. In a concise, lively, and engaging narrative, Nancy C. Unger shows how Belle La Follette uniquely contributed to progressive reform, as well as the ways her work was typical of women--and progressives--of her time. Supported by primary documents and a robust companion website, this book introduces students of American history to an extraordinary woman and the era of Progressive reform.

Download or read book Speech of Senator Robert M La Follette Classic Reprint written by United States; Congress; Sena Elections and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Senator Robert M. La Follette The Committee on Privileges and Elections has before it the question of the petition of the Public Safety Commission of Minnesota for the expulsion of Senator Robert M. La Follette. It will be unnecessary to quote in this memorandum the entire speech of Senator La Follette. The whole speech should be read, because undoubtedly the tenor of the speech tends to throw light upon the intent with which certain statements, which are challenged, were uttered. Among other things the Senator, after stating that there was something wrong with our Government, said: There is something fundamentally wrong with it. [Cheers and applause.] Of course, of course, I know that the fellows who are waving the flags of to-day most frantically [laughter], the bloated representatives of wealth, who are shouting loudest for democracy to-day, are trying to invest this particular time with a new form of democracy [laughter, cheers, and applause.] A democracy that has attached to it as a cardinal principle not liberty, not equality, but profits. [Laughter, applause, and cheers.] And, my friends, you can not enlist the thinking, intellectual, conservative population found upon the farms of this section of the country, which was known when I was a boy as the old Northwest territory; you can not stir that population very deeply and very profoundly unless there is a profound reason for it. [Applause.] And that profound reason, if you will be a bit critical and a bit analytical, you will find is due to the fact that the very men who are shouting at the top of their voices about democracy to-day are the men who have been pillaging the hard-working sons of toil, not only upon the farms but in the factories of the country. [Cheers and applause.] Now, fellow citizens, we are in the midst of a war. For my own part, I was not in favor of beginning the war. [Cheers and applause.] I don't mean to say that we hadn't suffered grievances; we had [a voice: Yes] at the hands of Germany. Serious grievances [a voice: You bet.] We had cause for complaint. They had interfered with the right of American citizens to travel upon the high seas on ships loaded with munitions for Great Britain. [Laughter, cheers, and applause.] Let me have the time; I have got to catch a train - unless I am stopped by somebody [laughter], and I have never been stopped yet [laughter and applause.] Cut it out. Let me have the time. I would not be understood as saying that we didn't have grievances. We did. And upon those grievances, which I regarded as insufficient, considering the amount involved and the rights involved, which was the right to ship munitions to Great Britain with American passengers on board to secure a safe transit. [Laughter and applause.] We had a right, a technical right, to ship the munitions, and the American citizens have a technical right to ride on those vessels. I was not in favor of the riding on them [laughter], because it seemed to me that the consequences resulting from any destruction of life that might occur would be so awful [A voice: Yellow.] What did you say? [A voice: Yellow.] Any man who says that in an audience where he can conceal his identity is yellow himself. [Many cries: Put him out! Put him out!] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
