Joseph C. Manning letters, MSS.3818
No full textAbstract: Letters showing Manning's efforts to stop the disenfranchisement of African American voters in Alabama in early twentieth century.Scope and Content Note: The collection is made up of fifty-seven letters written by Manning that show his efforts to stop the disenfranchisement of the African American voter in the Republican Party of Alabama in the early twentieth century. Most of the letters are written to Captain Charles H. Scott of Montgomery. While some are written on Southern American letterhead (the newspaper Manning helped begin), many of the letters are written on the versos of copies of broadsides published at the time.Biographical/Historical Note: Joseph Columbus Manning, son of Henry Allen and Martha B. Manning, was born on May 21, 1870, in Lineville, Alabama. Growing up in rural Alabama, he witnessed how continually declining cotton prices forced many of his father's (a general supply merchant) customers to lose their lands and become tenant farmers or sharecroppers. This influenced Manning's early support of populist agrarian movements. After graduating from the Florence Normal School (now the University of North Alabama) in 1888, he moved to Texas where he worked as a book salesman.
In 1891, he returned to the Deep South, moving to Atlanta, where he was a supporter of the radical agricultural and political reformer Thomas E. Watson and the People's Party (or Populists). In 1892, he was sent by the party leaders back to Alabama as an "evangel," or political organizer. His job was to create enthusiasm for the movement and to recruit new members. He was an effective organizer, but many of his efforts were undermined by extensive voter fraud in Alabama's Black Belt counties.
He married Zoe Duncan in 1894; the couple had three sons and two daughters. Also in 1894, Manning was elected to the state House of Representatives from Clay County. He was able to engineer a 1894 convention that merged the Jeffersonian Democrats and the People's Party. Speaking in northern cities, he managed to embarrass the Bourbon Democrats by exposing their fraudulent election practices, but no good came of it. Rather than a U.S. Senate investigation, the hope of any reformist party in Alabama was completely shattered when thousands of farmers voted for Williams Jennings Bryan, a candidate of the Free Silver wing of the Democratic Party. When he faced the fact that the Populist movement was - to all intents and purposes - over in Alabama, Manning became a Republican.
Manning secured an appointment as postmaster of Alexander City, Alabama, from President William McKinley's administration. He supported Booker T. Washington's successful effort to undercut the power of Alabama's overtly racist Republican faction. Manning left the postal service when William Howard Taft was elected president in 1908.
Manning spent his remaining years as a lobbyist for civil rights, a journalist for African American newspapers, a correspondent with early leaders of the NAACP, and a commentator on the racial politics of the south in general and of Alabama specifically. Very late in his life, he moved to New York where he died of cancer on May 19, 1930.

Warren G. Harding letter to Joseph C. Manning, May 11, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated May 11, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Joseph C. Manning of Boston in response to his letter of May 8. Manning previously wrote to Harding regarding Southern Republicans, their campaign methods in the past, and how they might impact Harding's nomination.

Joseph C. Manning letter to Warren G. Harding, May 8, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated May 8, 1920, Joseph C. Manning writes to Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican presidential candidate in the 1920 election, regarding the upcoming election. Republican U.S. Senator William Borah of Idaho proposed an investigation of Republican campaign practices after Theodore Roosevelt, Manning argues, dictated the nomination of William Howard Taft in the 1912 presidential election, who lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Manning criticized Republican presidential candidate General Leonard Wood, especially for his choice of Frank H. Hitchcock as his campaign manager, former Postmaster General under President Taft. He states that southern Democrats will do anything to eliminate an opposing party in the South, including disfranchisement practices against African American voters. Manning concludes by asking Harding to push for Borah's proposition to expose the overall problems with the system, rather than airing the dirty laundry of one candidate. Manning was a journalist and activist who fought for agricultural reform and African American voting rights in 1890s Alabama.
