Abstract
"Hyde's Background: After the tempestuous days following the Civil War, political power in Missouri fell into the hands of the Democratic Party. From 1870 to 1904 was a period of Democratic dominance. However, the Republican Party gradually increased its strength, and a tendency toward independent voting developed so that in 1904 Missouri joined the ranks of states voting for President Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican. A Democrat, Joseph W, Folk, was elected governor, but the other major state officials were Republicans. Herbert 8. Hadley attained prominence as attorney general under Folk and succeeded to the governorship, being the first Republican governor in more than thirty years. Democratic governors headed the state government in the two following administrations with the election of Elliott W, Major in 1912 and of Frederick D. Gardner in 1916."--Introduction.
