The papers of James Albertus Tawney contain correspondence that throws light on bills concerning such subjects as salaries of Post Office Department employees, arbitration of disputes between railroad companies and their employees, fortification of the Panama Canal, and appropriations for the U. S. Navy and the geological survey. Letters from manufacturers throughout the United States concern tariffs, especially on sugar, lumber, and tools. There is material on Tawney's disagreement with President Roosevelt regarding the secret service, on his relationship with Speaker Joseph Cannon, and on his work as chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, of its committee on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and of the International Joint Commission. Also present are campaign literature; propaganda issued by the National Dairy Union concerning Tawney's action against the oleomargarine law; data on the organization of the Republican party in Minnesota and other states, particularly Wisconsin and Missouri; drafts and printed copies of speeches; and eight boxes of newspaper clippings on Tawney and on political questions. Scrapbooks and diaries contain information on social life near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (1875), notations about lawsuits in Minnesota (1885, 1888), and a few comments on actions of the Minnesota Senate (1891). A finding aid is available in the repository.
