The Wizard of Washington
Historians have tended to point to John F. Kennedy's 1960 bid for the presidency as the first time a candidate relied extensively on public opinion polls to drive a campaign. Polling has come to define American politics, and is perhaps most clearly embodied in Bill Clinton, the post poll-driven president in history. Melvin G. Holli dismisses this notion, however, and reveals that presidential reliance on public opinion polls dates back to the New Deal Era, when Franklin Roosevelt employed a first-generation Finnish-American named Emil Hurja to conduct polls for this 1932 and 1936 presidential campaigns. Holli shows us how Hurja convinced the Democratic National Committee to allow him to apply the new science of polling FDR's presidential campaign of 1932. Roosevelt's triumph at the polls in that year and again in 1936, as well as the spectacular 1934 Democratic mid-term congressional victory was legendary. Holli restores Hurja to his rightful place in American history and politics, showing us that the Washington press corps were right on target when they dubbed Hurja the 'Wizard of Washington'.
Iron County Historical Sites and Landmarks 1885-1985
This publication is an extension of several studies which have identified historic sites and landmarks of Iron County. Among the first studies was an "Inventory of Michigan's Western Upper Peninsula" by Phillip Metzger for the Michigan History Division and the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources in 1972. This was followed by a County Historical Sites Survey made by Marcia Bernhardt for the Iron County Historical and Museum Society under the auspices of a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts in 1974. This resulted in new state sites and the placement of the Iron County Courthouse on the National Register. The next survey was made in 1975-76 by David Stewart in cooperation with the County Society for Western Upper Peninsula Planning and Development Region (WUPPDR) and resulted in a 1977 publication, a "Historic Preservation Plan." Charles K. Hyde, Wayne State University, inventoried historic engineering and industrial sites in the Upper Peninsula under the auspices of the Historic American Engineering Record, and published the inventory in 1978, which included Iron County power plants, depots, bridges and water towers.
