1953 House Session
Your help solicited
Because a new House of Representatives is elected every two years, this
book will always be a work in progress. Additionally, this text presents iden-
tification problems that cannot be resolved from existing materials–problems
such as determining whether the “Wm.” Smith shown in one session’s House
Journal is the same person as “William” Smith representing the same
county 10 years later. Your assistance in clarifying such ambiguities is
always appreciated.

Re: The Reason for The People of Lawmaking
Few days pass in the Office of the Clerk without an inquiry about
some past member of the Legislature.
This revised edition continues the listing of legislators by political
party. Because the political parties changed names during the years
before 1885, it is recommended that users read the thumbnail sketch
of those changes in the definitions listed on the Introduction page.
It is respectfully suggested that you preserve this booklet. If you do,
some descendant may be spared the trouble of writing or telephoning
a future Clerk of the House to find out when you served in the Florida
Legislature.
For the use and benefit of all citizens, copies of The People ofLawmaking will also be deposited in Florida public libraries.
Introduction
Only regular and organization sessions are noted, with the following
exceptions: 1) if the first session served is other than a regular session; 2) if
the last session served is other than a regular session and occurs in the
succeeding year; and 3) if a session other than regular is at the beginning or
end of a time gap in a succession of terms.

Political parties as a cohesive force in Florida may be said to date from the
organization of the Jeffersonian Republican Democratic Party at St. Joseph
on January 11, 1839.
The organization of this party caused its opponents to similarly band together
in a group known as the Whig Party. By 1845, when Florida entered the
Union, the Jeffersonian Republican Democratic Party had trimmed its
awkward title to simply the Democratic Party.
By 1852, the Whigs had gravitated to two other parties: the Southern Rights
Whigs to the Democratic and the remaining Whigs to the American, or Know
Nothing, Party. In the crucial year 1860, they shifted again, to the
Constitutional Union Party.

This indicates that Representative Brown’s first legislative
service was in the Extraordinary Session in November 1962
and that his last service was in the Special Session in June
1968. He served in the Regular Sessions of 1963, 1965, and
1967 and in the Organization Session of 1966.
Sessions other than regular:
(adj) adjourned
(ex) extra or extraordinary
(org) organization
(spec) special
For example: Brown, J. R.
House, Seminole, 1962 (ex),
1963, 1965, 1966 (org),
1967, 1968 (spec).
The resurgence of party politics after the Civil War saw two national parties,
the Republican and the Democratic. In Florida, the question of white
supremacy attracted dissidents from both parties to a new Independent Party,
which won 12 of the 32 Senate seats and 23 of the 88 House seats in the
1884 Legislature. After that election, the status quo was restored to the
Democratic and Republican parties with a few deviations. Populists captured
a few legislative seats in 1890. Sidney J. Catts, while professing to be a
Democrat, won the governorship on the Prohibition ticket in 1916. On other
ballots, there have been Socialist, Progressive, Communist, and Dixiecrat
candidates. Of those, at least one Socialist, A. J. Pettigrew, won election to
the House from Manatee County for the 1907 Session.
In sum, the party labels used herein must be taken in the terminology of the
time.
The following abbreviations are used:
(Dem)—Democratic
(Rep)—Republican
(Pop)—Populist
(Soc)—Socialist
(Const Union)—Constitutional Unionist
(Ind)—Independent
(Cons)—Conservative
