Abstract

To understand the growth of William Allen White from a spokesman for the business-in-government conservatism of Mark Hanna to leadership in the revolt of the middle-class liberals one has to see him in the surroundings of the society into which he was born, to examine parental influence, and to realize the importance of the ideas he absorbed in his schooling and in his early journalistic training. It is also necessary, in explaining White's rebellion against the conservatism of his youth, to take into full account the impact of Theodore Roosevelt's personality on the life of William Allen White.
