Butler B. Hare papers, c. 1900-1966.

Papers consist of one linear foot of material arranged in four series: general papers, speeches, photographs, and clippings; bulk of collection consists of speeches and clippings, 1928-1932 and 1942-1947, re Hare's service in Congress; general papers, most of which date ca. 1910-1932, consist chiefly of constituent letters on issues before Congress, including the cancellation of European debts and the Home Loan Bank Bill, and copies of legislation introduced by Hare. Speeches, ca. 1942-1947, reflect Hare's interest in such topics as military highways, postal affairs, states' rights, and labor issues; Hare was gave numerous speeches about strikes and the nature of the federal government's obligations to working men; his strong religious beliefs are evident in many speeches, including those on education and racial prejudice. Hare's defense of the poll tax and other states' rights issues are also well-represented in his speeches.
