1900 Dictionary of American Politics

What I have here is a page for page photo of a 1900 "Dictionary of American Politics" on CD. This dictionary is a very good companion to the law dictionaries as they cover the politics of matters rather than the meaning of the law on matters. Many platforms are defined and many platforms given. One would be shocked to see the politics of the late 1800's as it was then and to see where we have gone now. There are many examples I would love to point out but time and space does not permit. One in particular is "Returning boards" Read this definition and you will see that Florida’s last election that was ruled on by the Supreme was not the first of its kind. Some States during reconstruction set these "returning Boards" up. A board that could nullify any election results if they even thought something was wrong, or for that matters going against their wishes. It even gives an example of when in 1876 the Republicans was running a close tie and then had 41 votes come in, but the board rejected them and the Democrats won the election. I think it is very important that these books get preserved and sent out among caring citizens that will help this information stay around.
