Washington DC: The Catholic University of America, 1957. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. vii, [1], 135, [1] pages. Footnotes. Bibliography. Index. This is a dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of arts and Sciences of The Catholic University of America in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Manton Marble (1834–1917) was a New York journalist. He was the proprietor and editor of the New York World from 1860 to 1876. The New York World was formed in 1860. Marble became its proprietor and editor in 1862. He turned it into a free-trade Democratic Journal. Marble's World building was not attacked during the New York City Draft Riots of 1863, unlike the Republican newspapers The Tribune and The Times. In 1864, the World was charged with fraud after it published communications from President Lincoln that turned out to be forged. Lincoln arrested Marble and placed the World under military guard. Marble, and the World, was allowed to resume publication three days later. In 1872, the World vigorously opposed Horace Greeley's presidential campaign. Marble retired his editorial position in 1876. In 1885, he went to Europe as a delegate to the Bi-Metallic Congress. He became president of the Manhattan Club in 1888. The New York World was published in New York City from 1860 until 1931. The paper played a major role in the history of American newspapers. It was a leading national voice of the Democratic Party. From 1883 to 1911 under publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was a pioneer in yellow journalism, capturing readers' attention with sensation, sports, sex and scandal and pushing its daily circulation to the one-million mark.

She was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society while attending the University of Richmond. She graduated in 1948 from the University of Wisconsin, where she was also a campus beauty queen. As a young woman, she became active in building the Democratic Party in the state. She worked closely with Proxmire. Each had been married and divorced, and each had two children by the time they attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1956. They married that year. After the death of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) in 1957, William Proxmire won the special election to replace him. He won a full U.S. Senate term the next year and held the seat until deciding not to seek reelection in 1988. In Washington, William Proxmire became known for advocating consumer-protection measures, and he drew national attention for his Golden Fleece Awards, which highlighted wasteful and often ludicrous spending by the government. Ellen Proxmire managed two of her husband’s Senate campaigns and had run his Senate office in the couple’s early years in Washington. She also had been co-chairwoman of President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural ball in 1961.n 1963, she published “One Foot in Washington: The Perilous Life of a Senator’s Wife.” That life for Mrs. Proxmire, was a blend of child rearing, campaigning, working in the Senate and planning events.
