(15 archives boxes, 20 flat boxes, 1 card box)Papers of Ellis Baker Usher, a La Crosse, Wisconsin, newspaperman, historian, and Democratic Party leader, consisting of political correspondence, and records of his newspaper business and of several local organizations with which he was involved. Most of the incoming correspondence is for the years 1887-1888, and deals primarily with details of the management of the Harrison Presidential campaign, and includes letters from Edward C. Wall, William F. Vilas, and Frank P. Coburn. Usher's correspondents in 1896 and shortly after included an increasing number of Stalwart Republican leaders in Wisconsin, among whom were Joseph Babcock, Ira Bradford, John Esch, and Elisha Keyes. Other correspondents include Wendell Anderson, Edward Bragg, Will Brawley, Joshua Dodge, Charles Felker, Charles Jonas, John Knight, John L. Mitchell, George Peck, and Clarence Snyder. The Journalism papers, 1872-1899, concern the La Crosse Liberal Democrat and its successor, the La Crosse Morning Chronicle. The early records were created by Usher, but the volumes of letters sent and financial records dating from the 1890s were created by Manager T.A. Goodrich. Papers dealing with La Crosse history include correspondence from John Esch, James H. Davidson, and others concerning the Upper Mississippi River Improvement Association and from Charles E. Brown about the Wisconsin Archaeological Society; there are also clipping scrapbooks concerning both organizations. Records which were collected rather than created by Usher include a register of federal ad valorem taxes paid by La Crosse businesses during the Civil War which give individual occupations, the value of items produced, and the assessment.

Cornell University LibraryEkern, Herman Lewis, 1872-1954. Herman Lewis Ekern papers, 1872-1954.Ekern, Herman Lewis, 1872-1954.Herman Lewis Ekern papers, 1872-1954.36.4 c.f. (91 archives boxes)Papers of Herman L. Ekern, a Wisconsin attorney, progressive Republican, and state official, relating to progressive politics and campaigns, insurance practices and legislation, the St. Lawrence Seaway, Great Lakes water diversion, the University of Wisconsin, and programs such as social security and unemployment compensation. Primarily correspondence, the collection also includes speeches and writings of Ekern on insurance or related topics; records of the Lutheran Brotherhood, a large fraternal life insurance company which he helped found; materials collected during his studies of war-risk insurance and of social security; legal files; papers from his own political campaigns and from the La Follette-Wheeler 1924 campaign; and copies of minutes and reports of the Wisconsin Unemployment Commission, 1931-1932. The correspondence reflects Ekern's personal, political, and business interests. Early correspondence concerns family affairs and the beginning of his law practice at Whitehall, Wis. (1894-1911). With his election to the Assembly in 1902, politics and legislation become prominent topics. Ekern authored railroad retirement and teachers' retirement acts and was actively interested in other legislation involving taxation, redistricting, the county court system, and establishment of the state life insurance code. Ekern served as state insurance commissioner, 1910-1915, and letters from this period concern insurance as well as his interest in other progressive legislation and in the national progressive campaign in 1912. His 1924 files as finance chairman of the La Follette-Wheeler presidential ticket are present as are the files of Will R. McCord, a professional fund-raiser employed to direct solicitation of funds in other states. In 1926 there are letters concerning Ekern's unsuccessful bid for the Wisconsin governorship. Ekern later was in private law practice in Chicago and Madison, was an unsuccessful Progressive candidate for United States senate in 1938, and served on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, 1939-1943. Much of his correspondence relates to the regents, alumni activities, and University fund-raising projects.

Occasional personal letters include a very few from La Follette's immediate family. Most of the legal papers are for the period prior to 1900. Bulk of the collection consists of correspondence of the period 1900-1910, pertaining to Wisconsin politics and the progressive movement within the Republican Party. Correspondents include Joseph W.

(214 archives boxes, 18 black boxes, and 1 flat box) and163 reels of microfilm (35 mm); plusadditions of 0.1 c.f.Papers of Wisconsin statesman and politician Robert M. La Follette, Sr., consisting of correspondence, governor's letterbooks, speeches and writings, records of the Wisconsin Republican Party, financial records, and miscellaneous records. La Follette served as a Wisconsin congressman, governor, and U.S. senator and was a crucial figure in the Progressive Movement of the early twentieth century. The collection documents his early career in the political reform movement in Wisconsin. In 1901 the reformers won control of the state Republican Party and La Follette began the first of his three terms as governor. Under his leadership, the state enacted the chief planks of his reform program--the primary election law and the railroad regulation act. These important pieces of legislation then served as the models for similar reforms by other states and by the federal government. The largest section of the La Follette Papers consists of personal, political, and legal correspondence. Included in addition to La Follette's own letters are letters to his law office, letters to his campaign offices, and mail between other members of the reform coalition. Little personal correspondence among members of the La Follette family is present. The letters prior to 1900 largely relate to La Follette's law practice; after that date constituent correspondence predominates including opinions and questions on pending legislation, speaking invitations, and job applications. Constituent correspondence after his election to the Senate in 1906 chiefly concerns those issues upon which La Follette had established a national reputation including interstate commerce, railroad reform, Indian affairs, and other topics. In addition routine correspondence from his 1908 Presidential campaign and his 1910 Senatorial campaign is included. Included is information on the founding of the Milwaukee Free Press as a statewide progressive newspaper and its financial difficulties. Numerous letters from both Wisconsin and national figures reflect La Follette's activities and growing influence in political affairs. The governor's letterbooks contain outgoing correspondence, 1901-1905. Many of the letters are routine although a few personal letters are included. The speeches and writings section contains speeches and drafts, messages to the legislature, statements and proclamations, remarks, books and articles, and some campaign documents. Also present is a large amount of research material on railroad rates used in speech preparation. The Wisconsin Republican Party records consist of correspondence, voter lists, registers of electors, legal material for the tumultuous 1904 convention from which the "stalwart" segments of the party withdrew to nominate their own candidate, and miscellaneous material. The voter lists were used for campaign mailings and to aid in organizing local Republican committees; these are among the few records of personal party affiliation during this significant period. The lists provide notes on occupation, national origin, and degree of party influence. The registers of electors concern a small number of Wisconsin cities. The 1904 convention material consists of research material, affidavits and exhibits, and drafts, all concerning the La Follette slate's brief for the Wisconsin Supreme Court deciding which was the legitimate ticket of the Republican Party. The collection's only materials dating after 1910 are the correspondence from 1922 and 1924 included in this section. This is generally routine material from La Follette's Senate campaign office in 1922 and from the Wisconsin organization of his 1924 Presidential campaign. Included in 1924 are forms listing names, occupations, and amounts of contributions. Financial records date primarily before 1900 and consist of checks, check stubs, deposit books, bills and receipts, the personal financial records of law partner Samuel A. Harper, and the records of the law firm La Follette, Harper, Roe, and Zimmerman. Miscellaneous records include shorthand notebooks, a register of letters of application and endorsement, and two volumes from La Follette's law practice. The processed portion of this collection is summarized above, dates 1879-1910, 1922-1924, and is described in the box list and published guide. An additional accession, 1896-1906, is described below.

(29 archives boxes); plusadditions of 1 tape recording.Papers of Orland S. Loomis, a Progressive lawyer and politician from Mauston, Wis., who was a member of both houses of the Wisconsin state legislature, state attorney general, and governor-elect in 1942. The collection includes correspondence, legal papers, copies of proposed legislation, memoranda, personal accounts, campaign materials, schedules, speeches, and press releases. The correspondence between 1929 and 1933, when Loomis served in the state legislature, reflects his concern with the problems of farmers, veterans, education, and public electric power. Most of the correspondence from 1936 to 1942 relates to electioneering, but a few letters exchanged with Robert M. La Follette, Jr. and Philip La Follette from 1931 to 1935 and in 1942 contain references to Progressive party programs and problems. Correspondence for 1937 and 1938, when he served as attorney general, include several legal opinions. Other correspondents include Herman Ekern, John J. Esch, William Evjue, Halbert Hoard, Merlin Hull, Charles A. Kading, Irvine Lenroot, Gaylord Nelson, George W. Norris, and Gifford Pinchot. A large part of the collection relates to Loomis' attempts to bring publicly owned electric power to Wisconsin, and includes briefs, exhibits, correspondence, and legal papers relating to the municipalities Loomis represented in public-power cases between 1933 and 1942. Loomis' clients included Bangor, Edgerton, Viroqua, Hustisford, Fennimore, Waterloo, Kendall, McFarland, Poynette, and Pardeeville. The extensive materials for Pardeeville follow the case from the village decision by referendum to purchase their power plant through twelve years of litigation. The collection also includes a folder of briefs and other materials on the Wisconsin Development Authority, established in 1937 to aid municipal ownership and the orderly development of Wisconsin resources. Loomis' papers contain some of the records of his campaigns for governor in 1940 and 1942, and a group of letters and proposals for his administration made after the 1942 election. Loomis died, however, before he could take office. The processed portion of this collection is summarized above and described in the register. Additional accessions are described below.
