Seller's Description:
Good. [12], 294, [8] pages. Frontispiece. Facsimile. Cover has some wear and soiling. Inscription on the fep. The inscription reads To Mary Tuebler with the affection of Bascom N. Timmons and the compliments of Wright Morrow. This appears to have been signed by Bascom and not Morrow. No dust jacket present. Bascom Nolley Timmons (March 31, 1890-June 8, 1987) was an American newspaperman based in Washington, D.C., in a career that spanned all or parts of six decades. He was an advisor to U.S. Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been competing opposite party candidates for Vice President of the United States in 1920. A native of Amarillo, Texas, Timmons began his career in journalism at the age of sixteen with the former Fort Worth Record in Fort Worth, Texas. He later worked for the defunct Dallas Times-Herald, the Amarillo News, and the Milwaukee Sentinel. In 1912, he joined The Washington Post''. In 1920, Timmons created a bureau in the nation's capital, to serve newspapers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, and Ohio. In 1932, Timmons became president of the National Press Club. Timmons was widely respected and liked in Washington, D.C., but his reporting long infuriated Lyndon B. Johnson. Timmons' press bureau served a number of newspapers. His biggest customer, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, listed him as its chief correspondent. Shortly after Johnson became President, he surreptitiously pressured the Amon G. Carter Jr., the Star-Telegram's owner, to drop Timmons. The paper phased him out; Timmons seemed unaware of Johnson's role. John Nance Garner III (November 22, 1868-November 7, 1967), known among his contemporaries as "Cactus Jack", was an American Democratic politician and lawyer from Texas. He served as the 39th speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1931 to 1933 and as the 32nd vice president of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1941. Garner and Schuyler Colfax (from 1863 to 1873) are the only politicians to have served as presiding officers of both chambers of the United States Congress as speaker of the House and vice president of the United States. Garner sought the Democratic presidential nomination in the 1932 presidential election, but agreed to serve as Franklin D. Roosevelt's running mate at the 1932 Democratic National Convention. He and Roosevelt won the 1932 election and were re-elected in 1936. He famously described the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss" (for many years, this quote was bowdlerized as "warm spit"). Wright Chalfant Morrow (1858-1942) attended law school at the University of Virginia. Upon his graduation, Morrow returned to Hillsboro and began practicing law with his brothers-in-law at their firm Tarlton, Tarlton, and Morrow. His brother-in-law Benjamin Dudley Tarlton would go on to have a distinguished legal career, with the University of Texas Law School named in his honor. At this time, most of Morrow's cases related to land disputes. One such case, concerning a dispute over the ownership of a homestead, reached the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 1900. Morrow was first elected as District Judge of Hill County in 1897 on the Democratic ticket. He was re-elected in 1889. Morrow was elected and served as a state senator for Hill, Ellis, and Johnson Counties from 1912 until 1916. While in office, he served on several committees, including the labor, public roads, towns and city corporation, and judiciary committees. He also served as the senate president pro tempore during his first term. While in office, Morrrow helped to draft and pass Senate Bill 166, which revised the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals' reversal policy. It held that" the case shall not be reversed unless an error was committed calculated to injure the rights of the defendant, and not then unless the error was pointed out in objections made as the charge was given, or in the refusal of special charges...
