Correspondence of the governor's office. 1950-1951.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43481094

Contains the working papers of the governor of Kansas from November 28, 1950 to January 8, 1951, Hagaman administration, including routine office correspondence among the various offices of state government, and subject matter relevant to the social, economic and political situation of the early 1950s. Frank Hagamn entered politics in 1939 as the state representative from Johnson County. By 1948 he was elected to the position of lieutenant governor (president of the Senate and chairman of the Legislative Council). In 1950, when Governor Frank Carlson was elected to the United States Senate, Hagaman was sworn into the governor's office to replace the resigning governor. Hagaman had lost his bid as the Republican Party's nominee, so his administration, a "caretaker" administration, lasted a mere forty-one days. During that time Hagaman concentrated almost exclusively on the budget, inviting governor-elect Edward Arn to attend the budget hearings.
