Scope and Content Note
The papers of Josephus Daniels (1862-1948) trace his career in journalism, theDemocratic Party, the United States Navy, and the diplomatic service. They also reflect hisprivate life, especially his family relationships. Although the papers span the years 1829-1948,they are concentrated in the period 1913-1921. The period before 1913 is represented mainly byfamily letters because a fire in that year destroyed correspondence and records stored at theRaleigh, North Carolina, News and Observer plant.
Although in the collection contians diaries, family papers, correspondence, subject files,speeches and writings, and miscellany, not much pertains to the activities of Daniels or his familybefore 1913. Included are Daniels’s small collection of nineteenth century North Carolinanewspapers (with the July 1877 edition of the Cornucopia, an amateur newspaper that he editedwith his brother Frank), detailed letters to his mother, and correspondence beginning in 1887with “Addie” Bagley, whom he married in 1888. Daniels’s correspondence with his wife, whichcontinued until her death in 1943, is the longest and perhaps the most nearly complete in thecollection. Besides revealing their deep affection, the letters contain frank comments on thenewspaper business, local and national politics, and Daniels’s government service.
Other family papers include those that Daniels collected relating to five generations of theDaniels, Seabrook, Bagley, and Worth families, as well as Daniels’s correspondence with hisbrothers Frank, a judge, and Charles, an attorney for the Department of Justice. Lettersexchanged with the wife, children, and grandchildren of each brother are interfiled with thecorrespondence of the particular brother, an arrangement that is followed throughout the FamilyPapers series.
Daniels’s work in the Democratic Party’s publicity office during the presidentialcampaigns of William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson is described in letters in the SpecialCorrespondence subseries with Newton D. Baker, William Jennings Bryan, Albert S. Burleson,Homer Cummings, Joseph P. Tumulty, William G. McAdoo, and Woodrow Wilson. Otherelection material, including lists of county chairmen and contributors to Democratic campaignsin North Carolina and information on party activities at the national level, is in the GeneralSubject File.
Material concerning the Raleigh News and Observer is also in the General subseries ofthe Subject File. Though chiefly dating from 1913, some items relate to Daniels’s early yearswith the paper. There are a few documents concerning its reorganization under Daniels’s
Papers of Josephus Daniels Page 5
leadership, subscription correspondence, information on a 1904 contempt of court citationagainst Daniels, summaries of the paper’s financial condition, communications regarding variouspress associations or syndicates, legal briefs, and offers of help after fires in 1913 and 1915.
With Daniels’s appointment to Wilson’s cabinet, the letters in the News and Observer filebecome more concerned with day-to-day publishing activities than with such infrequent crises aslawsuits and conflagrations. From Washington, its owner attempted to influrence editorialpolicy, improve news coverage of local affairs, increase circulation, mediate disputes betweenstaff members, and maintain the paper’s reputation for constructive criticism while avoidingembarrassments to the Wilson administration. Daniels sent lengthy instructions to editor EdwardE. Britton, and he consulted frequently with business manager William Henry Bagley andfinancial adviser Herbert Worth Jackson, both relatives of Mrs. Daniels.
Daniels served as secretary of the navy throughout the Wilson administration. Most ofthe papers relating to policy decisions during his tenure are in five subseries: Cabinet Diaries,Special Correspondence, Letterbooks, Miscellaneous Correspondence, and the Navy SubjectFile. The nearly illegible notes he made in pencil about his activities, except for jottings in apocket volume coverning the period July 8-22, 1920, were published in The Cabinet Diaries ofJosephus Daniels, 1913-1921 (Lincoln, University of Nebraska Press [1963]), edited by EdmundDavid Cronon. The letterpress copies of Daniels correspondence often duplicate the carboncopies in other subseries.
The Special Correspondence files contain holograph private letters as well as officialcorrespondence and case files in the form of enclosures. Exchanges with several naval admiralsand marine generals include candid discussions of departmental affairs. Within this group are theletters of Charles J. Badger, George Barnett, William S. Benson, Victor Blue, Frank F. Fletcher,Albert Gleaves, John A. Lejeune, Samuel McGowan, Henry T. Mayo, Albert Niblack, HughRodman, Archibald H. Scales, William S. Sims, Thomas Washington, and Albert G.Winterhalter. Correspondence between the secretary and his civilian assistants, Howard A.Banks, Edward E. Britton, Gilbert F. Close, John W. Jenkins. Franklin D. Roosevelt, and FrankSmith, tends to be concerned with the daily routine of office as do communications with hisuniformed aides, Percy Foote and Leigh C. Palmer. After he left the department, Danielscontinued to write to many of these men, often to clarify for his autobiography accounts of eventsthat occurred when he was secretary.
As secretary of the navy, Daniels’s innovations included an attempt to make the navymore democratic by elevating the status of enlisted men. Papers bearing on his efforts to makeeach ship a school may be found in the Navy Subject File along with information related to therecruiting, training, and treatment of enlisted men. There is also correspondence pertaining to theappointment of qualified sailors to the United States Naval Academy and Daniels’s campaign toeliminate hazing there as well as speeches and articles on these reforms. Other reforms initiatedby Daniels include his controversial elimination of the wine mess, the serving of alcoholic
Papers of Josephus Daniels Page 6
beverages to officers on board naval vessels and at shore stations, and attempts to promotetemperance among the sailors. The secretary’s concern for the personal welfare of the men whoserved under him is evident in the Navy Subject File, especially in material on alcohol and vicecontrol and on the work of organizations such as the Navy League, Red Cross, YMCA-YWCA,Commission on Training Camp Activities, and Chaplain Corps.
The Navy Subject File, as well as some of the speeches, articles, and scrapbooks, details anumber of the issues that emerged during Woodrow Wilson’s first term, including conflicts withrevolutionary leaders in Mexico, struggles with the “steel trust” over the price of armor plate,reorganization of the department, and controversies over naval preparedness, oil reserves, andcoal supply. As the war in Europe became more intense, Americans discussed the arming ofmerchant ships, ways of overcoming the submarine threat, and the need for selective service. Inaddition to information found under these headings, there is material on these topics under“Press” in the Navy Subject File. Some letters exchanged with Wilson and other cabinetmembers, all special correspondents, touch upon these issues.
The development of naval aviation and wireless communication was of high priority toDaniels. He had been interested in aviation since 1903, when an uncle, John T. Daniels, hadhelped the Wright brothers with their experiments at Kitty Hawk, N.C., and Daniels maintainedthis interest when he became secretary. Also as secretary, through the activities of theDepartment’s Communications Bureau, he became involved in the controversy over the federalgovernment’s responsibility to insure fair access to the airwaves by licensing commercial radiostations.
America’s entry into World War I greatly accelerated the expansion of the navy that hadbegun with the shipbuilding program of 1915-1916. Changes in the department included thesetting up of a Civilian Naval Consulting Board in order to take advantage of American inventivegenius like that of Thomas A. Edison and his assistant, Miller R. Hutchinson. The existingbureaus of the Department-Construction and Repair, Engineering, Navigation, and Ordnance,took on additional wartime responsibilities as reflected in the increased number of papers in theirfiles. The Office of Naval Intelligence investigaged not only breaches of security but also unrestamong workers at war plants, including alleged “Bolshevik” activity during the Red Scare (1919-1920).
Congressional oversight of Daniels’s work in the department is evident in letters receivedfrom members of the House and Senate Naval Affairs Committees and in the file on thecontroversy (1919-1920) with Admiral William S. Sims. A subcommittee of the Senate NavalAffairs Committee investigated charges made by Sims and his Republican allies that the Navyfailed to prosecute the war to best advantange because the secretary did not follow theprofessional advice of seasoned officers. Daniels, John W. Jenkins, and other staff membersfashoned a rebuttal in which they reviewed the important phases of the navy’s wartime activities,buttressing their arguments with comments by sympathetic naval officers. Drawing upon their
Papers of Josephus Daniels Page 7
experience with the mass media, they drafted a series of press releases so that the secretary’stestimony would have a maximum effect upon public opinion.
Daniels continued his interest in the navy and politics after he left Washington. Hecompleted a lecture tour, a series of articles on the navy, and several articles and a book onWoodrow Wilson, all of which are represented in the Speeches, Writings, and Related Materialseries. In addition to material in the election file and General Correspondence series about thepresidential campaigns of 1924, 1928, and 1932, there are letters from supporters who urgedDaniels to seek the North Carolina gubernatorial nomination in 1932.
An erroneous report early in 1933 that Daniels had been chosen by President Franklin D.Roosevelt to head a new transportation department brought a flurry of mail from those whothought their business interests would be affected by the mythical bureau. His appointment asambassador to Mexico caused an even greater outflow from well-wishers and businessmen. Daniels again worried about the management of the News and Observer and corresponded atlength with his sons in Raleigh, Josephus, Jonathan, and Frank. His fourth son, Worth BagleyDaniels, who lived in Washington, D.C., was also a frequent correspondent.
Upon his departure from Raleigh, the new ambassador began a series of comprehensivediary-letters for the purpose of keeping family members informed of his personal and diplomaticactivities. Daniels also wrote long letters to the president and to Cordell Hull, Summer Welles,Claude G. Bowers, and William E. Dodd. In this correspondence, the ambassador discussedissues affecting relations between Mexico and the United States , especially the settlement ofclaims arising from the seizure of American-owned lands, the strife between the Catholic Churchand the Mexican government, and expropriation of American oil properties. Additionalinformation on these problems, Daniels’s official dispatches, translations of articles fromMexican newspapers, and communications with embassy and Department of State personnel maybe found in the Mexico Subject File.
Of special interest in the Miscellany series is Daniels’s autograph collection. Friendsgave him a number of autograph letters of note, and he preserved others that were addressed tohim. Mary Custis Lee sent a voucher signed in 1839 by her father, Robert E. Lee, then a captainin the Army Engineer Corps. Admiral French E. Chadwick provided a letter in 1915 written byBrooks Adams predicting the end of civilization. Daniels received a poignant letter in 1918 fromErnestine Schumann-Heink, the operatic mezzo-soprano who had sons in both the American andGerman navies during World War I, in which she writes about their service. John Philip Sousacomplained in 1918 about the quality of the instruments furnished his band at Great Lakes NavalTraining Station. A social note (1934) in French from Mexican artist Diego Rivera and an appealin 1947 on behalf of international control of atomic energy signed by Albert Einstein are also inthe collection.
