Excerpt from Third Biennial Report of the Department of Agriculture of the State of Washington to the Governor: July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1918 It is urgently recommended that provision be made for six veterinarians on this force instead of three, as heretofore. Our recommendation would be to divide the state into five veterinary districts; these doctors working from a home base would be less expensive to the state than heretofore, because they would have no expense account when in their home towns. The idea of having the sixth man is to use him where most needed and in special emergencies. The advantage of having men assigned to definite districts is, that they will be in closer touch with livestock sanitary conditions, and better able to prevent the introduction and spread of such diseases as sheep scab, hog cholera, glanders, and any other contagious or infectious animal disease that might be introduced in any portion of the state. They could also assist in the enforcement of stallion registration and licenses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

At the apex of progressive reform in Texas from 1907 to 1911, Thomas M. Campbell served as the state’s chief executive. Closely associated with former Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg, Campbell played a central role in reviving the Hogg reform movement and building a strong record of progressive laws in areas such as social welfare, public education, and tax reform. In the broader context of southern progressivism, Campbell was a leading progressive governor much like Hoke Smith of Georgia, Benjamin Comer of Alabama, Charles B. Aycock of North Carolina, and Andrew Jackson Montague of Virginia. This full biography of Campbell’s life and political career shines a light on his contributions and successes as well as his failures and shortcomings. In Our Fighting Governor, Janet Schmelzer explores Campbell’s life, political career, and legacy. At the same time, she provides new insight into the inner workings of the Texas Democratic Party at the turn of the twentieth century. She uncovers Campbell’s political philosophy and the importance of his leadership that guided the agenda for progressive reform, resulted in the passage of reform legislation, and marked him as a southern progressive governor.
