dc.description.abstractBorn in Lonoke County, Arkansas, in 1872, Joseph Taylor Robinson rose to political prominence through the Democratic Party as first congressman (1903-1912), then governor (1913), and finally senator (1913-1937). He served as his party's leader of the Senate from 1923 until his death in 1937. In addition he acted as the Permanent Chairman of the Democratic National Convention in 1920, 1928, and 1936. In 1928 he received the Vice-presidential nomination, becoming the first southerner since the Civil War to have a place on the Democratic ticket. He received his greatest accolades as majority leader during the New Deal when he pushed much of Franklin Roosevelt's legislation through the Senate. He died in 1937 at the climax of the Supreme Court reorganization or "packing" plan, having been promised a seat on the court if the legislation passed.
