Book excerpt: Robert Marion La Follette, Sr., was voted as one of the top five senators in United States history. Yet he remains ever so slightly outside the mainstream of historical argument. Associated with the Progressive Era, he tends to fall behind Theodore Roosevelt, as he did in the 1912 campaign for the Republican nomination for President. The final chapters of this book represent a diary of that campaign. It is quite a story. Part of the myth of "Fighting Bob." But you might discover that that myth is not as mythical as it may appear. That the man stood apart from his fellow politicians because he was simply not of their kind. He was beloved in Wisconsin, not just because of his success. He was beloved because of how he achieved that success. An accomplished speaker, he chose to speak for the people of Wisconsin. Not the people who already had a voice, but those who didn't: the farmers, the workers, the women, the minorities, the rest of Wisconsin. When he talked about trusts, unlike Roosevelt, he actually wanted to do something about them. He talked about the Referendum, Recall and Initiative. He talked about them not as grand ideas, but as practical means of extending democracy to the people he represented. The only downfall of this book is that it was published in the middle of his career. But it still burns with the passions that informed that missing period. Annotations have been added to give you some understanding of the people mentioned in the text.

Download or read book La Follette's Autobiography written by Robert Marion La Follette and published by . This book was released on 1913 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of Robert La Follette (1855-1925) traces the political life and accomplishments of this eminent Republican politician from his election as district attorney for Dane County, Wisconsin in 1880 to the presidential campaign of 1912, when his bid to dislodge President William Howard Taft was pushed aside by former president Theodore Roosevelt on the Progressive Party's national ticket. The book emphasizes tactics, strategies, and coalition-building as well as La Follette's assessments of various local and national public figures. We learn little about La Follette's childhood, education, legal training or family life, although he does pay tribute to his wife, a lawyer and civic reformer in her own right. La Follette served three terms in Congress (1885-1891); and after a decade of private law practice and grassroots activism, was elected Wisconsin's governor (1900-1904). From 1905 until his death, La Follette was a senator. He crusaded at state and national level against powerful, unregulated business interests--especially the railroads--which he felt exerted undue influence upon government. He also championed open primary elections, equitable taxation of corporations, and public management of public resources by highly qualified, non-partisan public servants. While many of these influential reforms were instituted at the state level during his governorship, his contribution in the Senate may have had less to do with his legislative record than with his ability to rally forces around well-articulated programs.

Download or read book Fighting Bob La Follette written by Nancy C. Unger and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette (1855-1925) was one of the most significant leaders of American progressivism. Nancy Unger integrates previously unknown details from La Follette's personal life with important events from his storied political career, revealing a complex man who was a compelling mixture of failure and accomplishment, tragedy and triumph. Serving as U.S. representative from 1885 to 1891, governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906, and senator from Wisconsin from 1906 to his death in 1925, La Follette earned the nickname "Fighting Bob" through his uncompromising efforts to reform both politics and society, especially by championing the rights of the poor, workers, women, and minorities. Based on La Follette family letters, diaries, and other papers, this biography covers the personal events that shaped the public man. In particular, Unger explores La Follette's relationship with his remarkable wife, feminist Belle Case La Follette, and with his sons, both of whom succeeded him in politics. The La Follette who emerges from this retelling is an imperfect yet appealing man who deserves to be remembered as one of the United States' most devoted and effective politicians.
