Papers of Charles Kading, a Watertown, Wisconsin lawyer and Progressive Republican Congressman; of his wife, Elizabeth, a lawyer and president of the Wisconsin State Board of Control; and of their son, Charles E., a lawyer and county court judge; including correspondence, speeches, financial records, newspaper clippings, and other papers. The senior Kading's congressional career is documented in correspondence demonstrating his constituents' concerns and his contacts with the Fox River Improvement Association, the Portage Deep Waterway Committee, and the United States Federal Radio Commission. Prominent correspondents include Charles Goff, Charles E. Broughton, Herman L. Ekern, William Theodore Evjue, Carlisle V. Hibbard, Halbert L. Hoard, Philip Fox La Follette, Robert M. La Follette, Jr., O.J.G. Peters, and Edward Voigt. Other correspondence concerns Mrs. Kading's work for the State Board of Control, 1923-1924. Also present are speeches and other material related to the elder Kadings' employment as educators with the Theresa, Wis., school system, which ended in 1900. The Charles E.
