A lifelong Republican, White saw himself as defending the common man - "The Voice of Main Street"--Even against fellow Republicans, and built a reputation as a man with little interest in partisan games. But while he positioned himself as the voice of small-town, Midwestern common sense, he was also a savvy political operative with connections to state and national political figures from both parties. Herbert Hoover and Teddy Roosevelt visited White at his home in Emporia; FDR famously quipped that he could count on White's support "three and a half out of every four years." In the first scholarly work on White in nearly twenty years, Charles Delgadillo foregrounds the famed journalist's political relationships, revealing White as a critical, influential political figure - one who represented a brand of moderate conservatism that seems to have faded amid today's heated partisanship."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a White, William Allen, $d 1868-1944 $x Political and social views. 630 00 $a Emporia gazette (Emporia, Kan. : 1899) 610 20 $a Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) $v Biography. 600 17 $a White, William Allen, $d 1868-1944. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029318 610 27 $a Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00544975 650 0 $a Journalists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Reformers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political activists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Progressivism (United States politics) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1901-1953. 650 0 $a Middle class $z Middle West. 651 0 $a Emporia (Kan.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Newspaper editors $z Kansas $v Biography. 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 650 7 $a Middle class. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020437 650 7 $a Newspaper editors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037053 650 7 $a Political activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069192 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Progressivism (United States politics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01078751 650 7 $a Reformers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092647 651 7 $a Kansas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204323 651 7 $a Kansas $z Emporia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204306 651 7 $a Middle West. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240052 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210022828.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180824010204.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802014223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90E9F0B4961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
