Biographical/historical
note:
Clarence
E. Manion, lawyer, educator, broadcaster, author, and lecturer, was born in
Henderson, Kentucky, on July 7, 1896. He received an A.B. degree from St. Mary's
College in St. Mary, Kentucky, in 1915 and a Master's degree in philosophy from
the Catholic University of America in 1917. Manion became a teacher of history
and government at Notre Dame University in 1919. In 1922, after receiving a
J.D. degree from Notre Dame, he was admitted to the Indiana Bar. He practiced
law in Evansville until 1925, when he rejoined the Notre Dame faculty, this
time as a Professor of Constitutional Law.
In
1936, he married Virginia ("Gina") O'Brien. They had five children.
In
1936 also he established a private law practice in South Bend, named Doran and
Manion, which in 1958 became the firm of Doran, Manion, Boynton, and Kamm. Manion
became Dean of Notre Dame's Law School in 1941 and held this position until he
retired from the university in 1952. Even after his retirement, he was often
referred to as "Dean" Manion although his closest associates called
him "Pat". In addition to his flourishing law practice, Manion owned
considerable land in the South Bend area.
Manion
was appointed Chairman of the Commission on Intergovernmental Relations by
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in September 1953. The Commission, made up of U.S.
senators and representatives and other prominent citizens, was appointed to
study the federal government's relationship to the states, particularly in
fiscal matters. Manion's support of the Bricker Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, designed to limit the president's treaty-making powers, apparently
made him a political liability to the Eisenhower administration. He resigned
his chairmanship in February 1954 at the request of the President.
This
event marked the transition to a new career. Manion, who earlier in his life
had been a registered Democrat and even a "New Dealer" went on to
become one of the leading exponents of and spokesmen for political conservatism
in the United States. In addition to his writings and public addresses, Manion
delivered a short series of radio broadcasts in 1954 expressing a conservative
viewpoint. The broadcasts proved so popular that the series was extended,
becoming known as the Manion Forum. The Forum first consisted of commentaries
by Manion, but the format later was changed to include guest speakers and interviews
with them. At one time or another, most of the leading conservatives of the day
were guests of the Manion Forum. Weekly programs were broadcast nation-wide on
radio and later on television as well until Manion's death, July 28, 1979.
Apart
from his Manion Forum radio and television broadcasts, Clarence Manion was best
known for his role in prompting the Presidential candidacy of Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona. Manion was active in attempting to secure Goldwater's
nomination in 1960. His publication and distribution of Goldwater's book, The
Conscience of a Conservative, gave impetus to the Goldwater cause. Goldwater
became the Republican Party's standard bearer in 1964, but Manion was less
involved in the 1964 campaign than he had been in 1960.
Summary description of the collection:
Clarence
Manion's papers are comprised of incoming correspondence and carbon copies of
outgoing letters; transcripts of Manion Forum broadcasts, 1954-1979; and
publications advocating conservative positions on American domestic and foreign
affairs, including monographs written or published by Manion; speeches, news
clippings, and other materials. The manuscript of Barry Goldwater's book,
Conscience of a Conservative is included.
Topics
discussed in the collection include advocacy for the Bricker Amendment;
activities of the John Birch Society in California and elsewhere; support for
Goldwater's presidential campaigns in 1960 and 1964; Manion's appointment to
and resignation from the federal Commission on Intergovernmental Relations;
Manion's service on the American Bar Association's Committee for the Study of
Communist Tactics, Strategy and Objectives; the threat of Communist expansion
abroad and internal subversion; U.S. military preparedness; and the extension
of the power of the federal government in domestic affairs; Manion's activities
as a professor of constitutional law at Notre Dame University, and his
businesses, and family. Correspondents include William F. Buckley, Jr., General
Bonner Fellers, Barry Goldwater, J. Bracken Lee, J. Fred Schlafly, Phyllis Schlafly,
Paul Talbert, and Robert Welch.
The
papers not only state Dean Manion's personal views on history and political
theory. They also document conservative thought and action in America because
of the extraordinary breadth of Manion's contacts on the political right as
well as the wide reach of his radio and television programs. Correspondents
include personal friends as well as members of the general public who listened
to the Manion Forum; public officials and political leaders; and conservative
publicists, theoreticians, and organizers.
Description of some material related to the
collection:
Related
materials at Chicago History Museum, Research Center, include the Clarence
Manion photograph collection (1981.0117) and a complete run of the Manion
Forum Newsletter cataloged separately. A complete collection of audio
recordings of Manion Forum radio broadcasts, 1954-1979, on 1294 reels was given
to Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, by Mrs. Manion in 1980.

Detailed description of archival series in
the collection:
Series 1. Correspondence,
1922-1978 (box 1-56)
Series
1 is almost entirely composed of incoming letters and carbon copies of Manion's
replies to Manion Forum broadcast listeners across the nation, Conservative
friends and associates, and to a lesser extent, congressmen and other
government officials. A large portion of this correspondence relates to the
Manion Forum and concerns arrangements for guest speakers as well as listeners'
reactions to topics such as foreign aid, taxation, nuclear test bans, social
security, farm legislation, civil rights, Cubs, and socialist and Communist
forces at work in the U.S. and abroad. Besides correspondence, this series also
contains some legal briefs, news clippings and other items. Some of the
incoming letters from prominent individuals in this collection are copies of
originals which were retained by the Manion family. For the convenience of the
researcher, selected correspondence has been moved from its original file
location in Series 1 and re-filed into other series of the Manion papers in
order to consolidate materials related to certain important topics in a single
location. However, the remaining correspondence is wide-ranging and touches
upon many of the topics that appear in the other series.
Series
1 is made up of three subseries, the first arranged strictly by date from 1922
to 1965; the second, arranged by year and then filed alphabetically by
correspondent's name within each year from 1966 to 1979; Subseries 3 contains
correspondence with selected prominent persons filed under the name, 1961-1979.
It is sometimes possible to find a letter to/from or about the same person in
each of the subseries.
Of
special interest in Subseries 1, Chronological correspondence, are: 1927-1928
materials including correspondence with Nicholas Murray Butler about Manion's
article, "What Price Prohibition?"; a few items relative to Manion's
interest in running for elective office, including an April 25, 1940, letter
concerning his withdrawal from the U.S. congressional race in Indiana and an
August 7, 1933, news clipping on his interest in Indiana's U.S. Senate seat;
and papers concerning Manion's opposition to U.S. entry into World War II,
including letters to U.S. senators and correspondence with General Robert E.
Wood, chairman of the "America First" committee.
Subseries
1 also contains various materials relating to Dean Manion's association with
Notre Dame University. Papers from the 1940s discuss the possibility of closing
the Law School for the duration of World War II. An August 4, 1944 letter from
the President of Notre Dame, Rev. Hugh O'Donnell, comments on the admission of
an African American student in the Law School.
In
the 1953-1954 files, the publication and distribution of Clarence Manion's The
Key to Peace, a textbook on U.S. government and the Constitution, is
discussed. Materials concerning the aims, formation, and membership of
"For America," a group working to promote peace,
"Americanism," and national defense, and to oppose Communism and
totalitarianism, are present in the files from 1954 onward as are materials
relating to the John Birch Society.
Subseries
2, Alphabetical correspondence, dates from 1966 to the year of Manion's death,
1979; it lacks files "N" - "Z" for 1971. However, it is
sometimes possible to find a letter to/from or about the same person in each of
the subseries.
Subseries
3 contains correspondence with selected prominent persons filed under the name,
1961-1979. However, it is sometimes possible to find a letter to/from or about
the same person in each of the subseries.
Some
of the correspondents whom Manion regarded as "most prominent" were
kept separately filed after 1964 (subseries 3), including National Review
editor William F. Buckley, Jr., Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, Chicago
Tribune editor/reporter Clayton Kirkpatrick, William F. Rickenbacker of the
"Rickenbacker Report" and California insurance executive Paul H.
("Tex") Talbert. The Talbert correspondence is of special interest in
relation to the John Birch Society. Talbert was an officer of the Society who
was critical of its national leader Robert Welch. The "prominent
personalities" files have been retained as separate entities, but the
researcher should be aware that correspondence with these persons also may be
found in Series 1, Subseries 1 and 2, and elsewhere in the Manion papers.
Series 2. Topical correspondence
and clippings, 1950-1978 (box 57-81)
Series
2 consists primarily of subject files maintained by Clarence Manion to which
have been added smaller lots of subject files from other series of the Manion
Papers as well as some isolated files. The "Manion biographical
files" (filed under "M" document some aspects of Clarence Manion's
activities apart from the Manion Forum. The "Chicago Historical Society"
files contain materials that Manion set aside because he thought they would be
of special interest to researchers at CHS. The range of materials contained in
this series is illustrated by the following descriptions of three of the larger
topics: an American Bar Association committee on Communism, 1950-1953; the
Bricker Amendment, 1953-1957; and Harry Goldwater's presidential campaigns,
1959-1964.
The
American Bar Association Committee for the Study of Communist Tactics,
Strategy, and Objectives was formed to study communist activities in relation
to proper court procedure and law enforcement. This group of files include
correspondence (a good deal of it with Austin F. Canfield, the Committee's
chairman), minutes of meetings and other related papers. A major subject is the
drafting and publication of the ABA's "Brief on Communism: Marxism-Leninism,
Its Aims, Purposes, Objectives and Practices" in 1951. The Committee also
considered a proposal to poll its members in order to discover if any of them
were members of Marxist-Leninist organizations or the National Lawyers Guild,
which was suspected of Communist leanings.
The
files on the Bricker Amendment consist of Clarence Manion's correspondence with
individuals, including Senator John Bricker, and organizations which advocated
the passage of the Bricker Amendment or similar legislation to check the
treaty-making powers of the U.S. President. News clippings and other printed
materials amplify the correspondence. Scattered references to Senator Joseph
McCarthy of Wisconsin occur in the correspondence. Lyndon B. Johnson, than a
senator from Texas, stated his opposition to the Bricker amendment in a letter
which is attached to Arthur C. Hughes' letter of February 4, 1954. The Bricker
Amendment files also contain a photocopy of a letter from Supreme Court Justice
Sherman Minton (February 25, 1954) in which he takes issue with a Manion Forum
broadcast on the Court's decision in the steel seizure case.
The
Barry Goldwater files (box 68-71) begin with Minton's efforts to organize a
committee and to rally support for Goldwater's efforts to secure the Republican
Party's presidential or vice-presidential nomination in 1960. Of special
interest is an 18-page abstract of the minutes of a Goldwater for President
meeting at the Union League Club in Chicago, January 23, 1960. A major subject
of the Goldwater files is the 1960 publication and distribution by Clarence
Manion of Goldwater's book, Conscience of a Conservative, which played
an important role in securing the presidential nomination for Goldwater in
1964.
The
1960 campaign materials discuss, in some detail and depth, both the philosophy
and strategy of the Goldwater candidacy, specifically the relevancy of Goldwater's
campaign to the cause of conservatism in the United States, Republican strength
in the South, and the role of the civil rights question in the campaign. During
February and March 1959, correspondents comment on the advisability of
establishing a third major political party in the United States on conservative
lines.
Less
material from the 1964 campaign is present, but noteworthy is Manion's letter
to Senator Barry Goldwater of June 12, 1964, in which Manion suggested William
Miller of New York as Goldwater's vice-presidential candidate. Miller later
became Goldwater's running mate in the campaign.
Some
of the prominent individuals whose correspondence is filed with the Goldwater
topical files (and also found elsewhere in the collation) are J. Bracken Lee,
former governor of Utah and head of "For America," Bonner Fellers,
William F. Buckley, Jr., L.. Brent Bozell, and William J. Dorn. There is also a
good deal of correspondence with cattleman Hubbard Russell of Maricopa,
California, treasurer of the sponsoring committee for Conscience of a
Conservative, which purchased the book in lots in order to be able to
distribute it at a discount.
Series 3. Manion Forum, 1954-1979
(box 81-109)
Series
3 contains material generated in connection with Manion Forum broadcasts,
including a complete set of transcripts of radio and television programs from
October 3, 1954, through August 19, 1979, copies of Manion Forum publications,
correspondence from contributors and supporters, and some financial records. This
series cover all broadcasts, beginning with the first.
A complete
collection of audio tape recordings of Manion Forum radio broadcasts from 1954
to 1979 on 1294 reels was given to Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, by
Mrs. Manion in 1980.
Of
special interest in Series 3 is correspondence and other papers concerning the
cancellation by the Mutual Broadcasting System network stations of an October
10, 1957, Manion Forum broadcast by Herbert V. Kohler, president of the Kohler
Company near Sheboygan, Wisconsin. In this broadcast (which was carried by
stations not affiliated with the Mutual network), Kohler criticized actions of
the United Auto Workers in their strike against his company. The Mutual system
refused to broadcast the program on the grounds that it could lead to legal
action against the broadcasters, even though Herbert Kohler agreed to reimburse
any judgment claim against the network. In addition to correspondence with
Kohler and letters of support from Manion Forum listeners, Series 3 also
contains items relative to the cancellation of the Manion Forum's contract with
the Mutual system as a result of this censorship.
Series 4. Speeches, 1941-1978
(box 109-113)
Series
4. is arranged by date. The series consists primarily of texts of speeches
around the country by Manion as advocate of conservatism between 1941 and 1978
but also occasionally includes related correspondence, clippings, or programs. (Some
routine correspondence concerning travel and lodging arrangements in connection
with speeches between 1961 and 1965 is found also in Series 1, subseries 1). During
the early 1960s, Manion addressed a number of young conservative organizations
on college campuses.
Series 5. Publications and
other materials, 1926-1976 (box 113-119)
Series
5 contains books and pamphlets written or published by Clarence Manion. Most of
the series is arranged alphabetically by title, usually with a copy of the
publication preceding any manuscript materials about the publication.
Also
include is a box of computer printouts (box 117: Closed to researchers); a box
of appointment and desk books; a box of correspondence, 1926-1972; and one
oversize folder.
