# Stanley B. Smullen

Stanley Bartlett Smullen Jr. (September 3, 1906 – July 9, 1998) was a Philadelphia businessman who served briefly on the Philadelphia City Council as a Republican.
Smullen was born in 1906 in Point Breeze, Philadelphia, the eldest child of Stanley and Mabel Smullen. The family moved to the city's Mount Airy neighborhood where Smullen's father was worked in real estate. Smullen graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, then joined his father's business. In 1928, he married Charlotte E. Greenwood, with whom he had two children. Smullen also got involved in Republican politics and became the leader of the 59th Ward.
In 1961, the Democratic city councilman for the 8th district, Alfred Leopold Luongo, was appointed to the federal bench, and Republican ward leaders chose Smullen to run in the special election to replace him. He defeated his Democratic opponent, John A. Geisz, to take the seat for the Republicans.
Smullen's term was just over a year, and Republican ward leaders backed him for the nomination to a full term in 1963. In the 1963 election, redistricting added the 49th ward to Smullen's district; the result was a narrow victory for his Democratic opponent, Isadore H. Bellis. In 1964, Smullen ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, but fell short of victory, losing to Democrat Walter H. Morley. He continued to run his real estate business and worked for the state department of commerce, but did not run for office again. He later retired to Ship Bottom, New Jersey, where he died in 1998.

# Samuel Davis Wilson

Samuel Davis Wilson (August 31, 1881 – August 19, 1939) was an American politician; he served as the 86th Mayor of Philadelphia from 1936 until his death in 1939.

## Early life and career

Wilson was born in Boston in 1881. He was educated at the Phillips Exeter Academy.

## Career

He moved to Philadelphia in 1905 and by 1927 found work as an assistant to the city controller Will B. Hadley. This brought him in contact with Philadelphia political community. In 1930, he worked as a campaign manager for the Republican Gifford Pinchot’s gubernatorial campaign. This elevated his profile, leading him to a successful candidacy for city controller in 1931. He explored a run for the governor’s mansion in 1931 as a Democrat but dropped out and supported George Earle, who won the election.
He entered the 1935 race for mayor as a Republican after the Democratic Party selected John B. Kelly Sr., a former Olympic rower and the father of Grace Kelly. With the unusually strong challenge from Kelly, Wilson’s campaign at one point resorted to anti-Semitic rhetoric, accusing Kelly of being beholden to Jewish interests. Wilson won the election, but by only 45,000 votes, a strong result for the Democrats in the reliably Republican city.
As mayor, he clashed with Republican leaders and took on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company and UGI, the city’s gas operator. In 1937, he re-registered to vote as non-partisan, breaking with the Republican party.
He ran in the Democratic primary election for United States Senate against Governor Earle. He had publicly blamed Earle for wiretaps on his secretary’s phone. The race wasn’t close and Earle won handily by over 500,000 votes with Davis failing to carry any wards in Philadelphia.
Wilson’s actions cost him much of his political support. The district attorney of Philadelphia secured an indictment against him for failure to stop widespread gambling in the city, but a judge dismissed the charges.
He became ill in 1939 and sent a letter to the City Council to have the council president assume his duties on August 11. He died on August 19, 1939 after a stroke. George Connell succeeded him as mayor and served out the rest of his term.

# Peter Steedman

Alan Peter Steedman (7 December 1943 – 10 July 2024) was an Australian journalist and politician. He represented the Australian Labor Party (ALP) in the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1984, holding the Victorian seat of Casey.

## Early life

Steedman was born in Melbourne on 7 December 1943.
At Melbourne University Steedman edited Farrago, the Melbourne University Student Union paper. He also edited Lot's Wife at Monash University. After leaving university he joined The Age as "editor of a section aimed at the youth market".
He travelled to the United Kingdom, where in the early 1970s he was managing editor of Oz magazine during the period when the principal editors were facing the longest trial in British criminal history, for conspiracy to corrupt public morals.

## Politics

In September 1982, Steedman won ALP preselection for the Division of Casey. He was elected to the House of Representatives at the 1983 federal election, defeating the incumbent Liberal MP Peter Falconer. However, a redistribution made his seat marginally Liberal, and as a result he was defeated at the 1984 election by Liberal Bob Halverson.
In parliament, Steedman attracted attention for wearing jeans and a leather jacket to sittings of the House. He used parliamentary privilege on several occasions to allege that members of the Liberal and National parties were neo-Nazis, notably accusing Senator Florence Bjelke-Petersen of associating with a man he described as "one of Australia's most notorious Nazis and Hitler lovers".
Steedman was an unsuccessful candidate for ALP preselection at the 1986 Scullin by-election. His candidacy brought him into conflict with former state secretary Bill Hartley, who made public comments disparaging him. He was later defeated by Jenny Macklin for preselection in Jagajaga prior to the 1996 federal election. Steedman remained involved in the ALP as a delegate to state and national conferences. In 1990 he argued against the Hawke government's proposed privatisation of Qantas and Trans Australia Airlines, stating that Treasurer Paul Keating had "systematically and knowingly stuffed the airlines up and starved them of funds" as part of a strategy to "sabotage them".

## Other activities

Steedman was the executive director of Ausmusic from 1988 to 1996. The organisation was established with financial assistance from the federal government to support the Australian music industry. It was sold in March 1998 to Entertainment World Limited.
Steedman later coordinated a campaign to revive the Healesville railway line as a tourist line servicing the Yarra Valley.

## Personal life and death

Steedman previously owned a 4-hectare (9.9-acre) property in Hurstbridge, Victoria, with his wife Julie Reiter, a potter. He bought the property in the 1970s from playwright David Williamson, a university friend.
Steedman died on 10 July 2024, at the age of 80.
