Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Formation of the Republican Party as a National Political Organization: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Political Science, Columbia University The lack of an adequate work on the embryonic stage of the national organization of a great political party, which only a few years ago completed its first half century of record and accomplishment, may afford a sufficient justification for this essay. One phase of this study was undertaken by me at the suggestion of Professor William A. Dunning of Columbia University, and an essay based thereon was awarded the Chandler Historical Prize for 1905, in Columbia College, under the title of "The Formation of the Republican Party." Professor John W. Burgess then recommended an elaboration of that paper as a partial performance of the requirements for the Doctorate in the Faculty of Political Science in Columbia University. Shortly afterward Professor Charles A. Beard called my attention to another phase of this subject and upon this suggestion I began an investigation of the unexplored field of the formation and development of the national organization and machinery of the Republican party. To my surprise I found that, although "political parties," in the words of Mr. Bryce, "are as old as popular government itself," and while certain phases of the organization of various political parties have from time to time been considered by writers on American politics, yet no attempt had ever been made to put together a systematic account of the structural development of the Republican party as a national organization.
