Description: "Democrats of Oregon in the first history of the Oregon Democratic Party in the twentieth century. Although the major objective has been to sketch party history between the years 1900 to 1956, there is also a description of the tenor of Oregon politics in the first half of the century and the impact of national political trends on state affairs.

The author proceeds on the assumption that national politics is based on state politics, and the history of one political party in one state contributes to an understanding of the political life of the nation.".

"This book is based on original source materials, including original records, letters and manuscripts from the first half of the twentieth century. The major portions of these documents are in the collections of the University of Oregon in Eugene and the Oregon Historical Society in Portland."--BOOK JACKET.
