Hazen S. Pingree papers, 1889-1926

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/631650526

Collection includes correspondence, appointments, speeches. The Detroit Almanac describes Pingree as a successful shoe manufacturer before being elected. "His brand of social reform was the forerunner for reforms of the Progressive Era. He battled the phone, gas and light utilities, stood up to the privately owned streetcar companies, and cut taxes. Under Pingree, Detroit formed the Public Lighting Commission to put streetlights under public control. Pingree also reached out to poor people during the 1893 Depression by initiating work-relief programs and establishing `potato patches' where residents could grow vegetables. He was elected governor while serving as mayor, and tried to keep both posts. When courts ruled he couldn't, he went to Lansing."
