Collection, n.d.-1958.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51783107

The collection contains twelve signed, inscribed portraits of Indiana politicians, one photograph of the ship Chiriqui, and three letters from Indiana politicians to Harold C. Feightner. Feightner acquired the photographs beginning in the 1920s when he worked as a news reporter and editor for the Indianapolis News. His association with Indiana politicians continued until his death in 1969. For this reason the collection reflects Feightner's long career as a confidant within Indiana political circles. The Indiana politicians represented in the collection are as follows: Ralph F. Gates; James P. Goodrich; Harold Handley; Harry G. Leslie; William Ezra Jenner; Frank Martin McHale; Warren T. McCray; Paul V. McNutt; Henry F. Schricker; Thomas Taggart; James E. Watson; and Matthew E. Welsh. Each portrait is signed and inscribed to Feightner. James P. Goodrich, Warren T. McCray, and James E. Watson also wrote letters to Feightner regarding their portraits.

James E. Watson "Impossible Not to Like" "Who is more a 'real Republican' than Jim Watson?" asked a writer for Collier's magazine in 1931. The answer to the question was obvious: "no one." Indeed, the Senate's second official majority leader had all the credentials necessary for membership in the Republican "Old Guard"–a family history in politics, seniority in the House and Senate, and a devotion to every plank in the Republican platform. But unlike his notoriously abrasive "Old Guard" co...
