Part Three THE PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL CONVENTION Chicago, August 5-7, 1912 (note.--It was the original intention of Mr. Bryan to treat in this work only the regular Republican and Democratic conventions. Subsequently he decided to include in the volume the speech of Ex-President Roosevelt before the Progressive convention and the Progressive party platform, with his com- ments on both, as published in leading daily newspapers immediately following the close of the convention. It is interesting to note here, as to Mr. Bryan's letters from the Republican convention at Chicago, that, in asking for a ticket for the press gallery, Mr, Bryan promised the Chairman of the National Committee that he would not say anything worse about Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt than they had said about each other; but that understanding would leave him sufficient to say. Mr. Bryan felt that he was in a position to report the Republican convention with fairness and completeness. He knew both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt well enough to know what they had said about each other, and he was willing to give it the widest publicity. Mr. Bryan occupied seat Number 13 in the press gallery at the Republican convention, and it was not an unlucky seat either.) I A SUMMARY OF EVENTS AT THE CONVENTION In obedience to the call of the provisional national committee, the first national convention of the Progressive party assembled in Chicago on Monday, August 5, 1912. Albert J. Beveridge, former United States Senator from Indiana, was made temporary chairman without opposition, and 0. K. Davis was made secretary. The temporary organization was afterward made permanent. Mr. Beveridge's keynote speech was the only feature of the first day's session. On Tuesday, the second day, ...

Book excerpt: Drawing on contemporaneous accounts of the First World War from Canada and the United States, freelance journalist Melina Druga offers readers an insightful exploration of early-20th-century attitudes toward the conflict, in A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was two and a half years away from inheriting the Austro-Hungarian throne when he was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. World War I began exactly one month later. That conflict would reshape Europe entirely, bring Canada into its own as an independent state, and stoke progressive activist fires in the United States. In hindsight, it’s easy to see how WWI radically changed the course of history. But how did people in Canada and the U.S. view the war at the time? What was worth reporting on, in the minds of news outlets and journalists, and which opinions dominated the broadsheets? Druga addresses these questions and more in this unique work of journalism history, which excavates opinions and coverage of the conflict to show how North American media framed the war as it was raging. This omnibus edition contains all five volumes of the A Tale of Two Nations series, with an expanded bibliography and a glossary of terms. Book 1: 1914 The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in 1914 Sarajevo plunged the globe into a massive war. The United States’ and Canada’s predominant viewpoints on the war served only to magnify pre-existing tensions between the nations. Book 2: 1915 The newly founded Canadian Expeditionary Force’s first sortie is the Second Battle of Ypres. Fifteen days after the chemical attack on Allied troops, the German Navy sank the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, killing more than 1,100 passengers and crew. Book 3: 1916 The Battle of the Somme claimed more than 700,000 Allied casualties between July 1 and November 13, 1916. As war raged across Europe, the United States found itself preoccupied with homegrown violence. Book 4: 1917 The Canadian Expeditionary Force secures yet another hard-won victory, this time at Vimy Ridge. After years of speculation in the United States, President Woodrow Wilson finally declared war on Germany, plunging America into the international conflict. Book 5: 1918 By the time of the Allies’ armistice with Germany, Canada had been at war for more than four years, and the U.S. for nineteen months. No one could have predicted that a bigger, deadlier shadow was just over the horizon: the Spanish influenza pandemic.

Book excerpt: A riveting account of the notorious “Ilford murder” by the New York Times bestselling author of The Six. The death penalty is never without its ethical conflicts or moral questions. Never more so than when the person being led to the gallows may very well be innocent of the actual crime, if not innocent according social concepts of femininity. A Tale of Two Murders is an engrossing examination of the Ilford murder, which became a legal cause ce´le`bre in the 1920s, and led to the hanging of Edith Thompson and her lover, Freddy Bywaters. On the night of October 3, 1922, as Edith and her husband, Percy, were walking home from the theatre, a man sprang out of the darkness and stabbed Percy to death. The assailant was none other than Bywaters. When the police discovered his relationship with Edith, she—who had denied knowledge of the attack—was arrested as his accomplice. Her passionate love letters to Bywaters, read out at the ensuing trial, sealed her fate, even though Bywaters insisted Edith had no part in planning the murder. They were both hanged. Freddy was demonstrably guilty; but was Edith truly so? In shattering detail and with masterful emotional insight, Laura Thompson charts the course of a liaison with thrice-fatal consequences, and investigates what a troubling case tells us about perceptions of women, innocence, and guilt.

Download or read book Five Days In Philadelphia written by Charles Peters and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were four strong contenders when the Republican party met in June of 1940 in Philadelphia to nominate its candidate for president: the crusading young attorney and rising Republican star Tom Dewey, solid members of the Republican establishment Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenberg, and dark horse Wendell Willkie, utilities executive, favorite of the literati and only very recently even a Republican. The leading Republican candidates campaigned as isolationists. The charismatic Willkie, newcomer and upstager, was a liberal interventionist, just as anti-Hitler as FDR. After five days of floor rallies, telegrams from across the country, multiple ballots, rousing speeches, backroom deals, terrifying international news, and, most of all, the relentless chanting of "We Want Willkie" from the gallery, Willkie walked away with the nomination. The story of how this happened — and of how essential his nomination would prove in allowing FDR to save Britain and prepare this country for entry into World War II — is all told in Charles Peters' Five Days in Philadelphia. As Peters shows, these five action-packed days and their improbable outcome were as important as the Battle of Britain in defeating the Nazis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dina and Julia first meet at a surgical convention and bond over frustrations with their husbands’ demanding schedules. But geography, time, and growing families make maintaining their friendship difficult and their relationship eventually falls apart. One of them is left to wonder why; the other has a secret. But neither of them knows that decisions made by family members decades earlier have set them on a collision course. Years after their friendship ends, Julia gets word that her daughter has suddenly become seriously ill—and she and Dina must decide whether they can face the history that now unites them and muster the maturity to rescue their emotionally tattered families. A sweeping saga that follows generations from a shtetl in Odessa to the comforts of Scarsdale, an uprising in Glasgow to servitude in the Caribbean, and a trek through the Alps to a displaced persons camp in Italy, The Convention of Wives is a story about the ever-evolving messiness of friendship and marriage, and the wonder of survival.

Download or read book Wild Child written by Naomi Morgenstern and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how the figure of the “wild child” in contemporary fiction grapples with contemporary cultural anxieties about reproductive ethics and the future of humanity In the eighteenth century, Western philosophy positioned the figure of “the child” at the border between untamed nature and rational adulthood. Contemporary cultural anxieties about the ethics and politics of reproductive choice and the crisis of parental responsibility have freighted this liminal figure with new meaning in twenty-first-century narratives. In Wild Child, Naomi Morgenstern explores depictions of children and their adult caregivers in extreme situations—ranging from the violence of slavery and sexual captivity to accidental death, mass murder, torture, and global apocalypse—in such works as Toni Morrison’s A Mercy, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin, Emma Donoghue’s Room, and Denis Villeneuve’s film Prisoners. Morgenstern shows how, in such narratives, “wild” children function as symptoms of new ethical crises and existential fears raised by transformations in the technology and politics of reproduction and by increased ethical questions about the very decision to reproduce. In the face of an uncertain future that no longer confirms the confidence of patriarchal humanism, such narratives displace or project present-day apprehensions about maternal sacrifice and paternal protection onto the wildness of children in a series of hyperbolically violent scenes. Urgent and engaging, Wild Child offers the only extended consideration of how twenty-first-century fiction has begun to imagine the decision to reproduce and the ethical challenges of posthumanist parenting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you want to understand not only what happened in 2016, but what’s going to happen tomorrow, this book is essential reading. Susan Bordo brings a scholar’s rigor and a lioness’ heart to this important work.” —Paul Begala “Among the best books I’ve read on the 2016 election . . . the perfect companion to Clinton’s What Happened.” —Peter Daou NOW WITH A NEW AFTERWORD The Destruction of Hillary Clinton is an answer to the question many have been asking: How did an extraordinarily well-qualified, experienced, and admired candidate—whose victory would have been as historic as Barack Obama's—come to be seen as a tool of the establishment, a chronic liar, and a talentless politician? In this masterful narrative of the 2016 campaign year and the events that led up to it, Susan Bordo unpacks the Rights' assault on Clinton and her reputation, the way the left provoked suspicion and indifference among the youth vote, the inescapable presence of James Comey, questions about Russian influence, and the media's malpractice in covering the candidate. Urgent, insightful, and engrossing, The Destruction of Hillary Clinton is an essential guide to understanding the most controversial presidential election in American history.
