Gracie Pfost (pronounced Post), Democrat, achieved distinction as
Idaho's only woman to serve in Congress. Representing the state's first
congressional district, she was elected to five consecutive terms in the U. S.
House of Representatives, ably serving her constituents from January 3, 1953 to
January 3, 1963. Described as a "unique and forceful political personality,"
Pfost diligently promoted the mining, timber and agricultural interests of the
Gem State's northern counties. In 1962, the Congresswoman declined to run for
her sixth term in the House and instead entered the Senate race. Nominated by
the Democratic State Central Committee, she lost by narrow margin to Republican
Len B. Jordan in the general election. But her career as a public servant did
not end. In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy appointed Pfost administrator
of Public Housing for the Elderly in the Federal Housing Administration, a
position she held until her death two years later.
Born March 12, 1906 in Harrison, Arkansas to William Layfette and Lily
Elizabeth (Wood) Bowers, Gracie moved with her family to the Boise Valley in
1911. She attended area schools receiving her secondary education at Meridian
High School, Meridian, Idaho, and graduating in 1926 from Links Business
University. On August 4, 1923 she married John Walter (Jack) Pfost, a man 22
years her senior, who played an important role in his wife's later political
career. In fact Gracie credits him as the person who most encouraged and
supported her campaign for election to Congress. Once Gracie was elected to the
House of Representatives, Jack Pfost acted unofficially as the Congresswoman's
political advisor. He worked long hours beside his wife and after his death on
July 17, 1961, at the age of 77, it was said of him that his death "cost Idaho
an unofficial but effective public servant who was as untiring as he was
unassuming."
Gracie Pfost's public career began in 1929 when, at age 23, she was
appointed deputy county clerk, auditor and recorder for Canyon County. She
served the county in this capacity until 1940 at which time she was elected
Treasurer. After five consecutive terms as Treasurer, she ran unsuccessfully
against Republican John T. Wood in 1950 for a seat in congress. Defeated by 783
votes in that election, Pfost again announced her candidacy in 1952.
With the slogan "Tie Your Vote to a Solid Post--Gracie Pfost for
Congress," she canvased the counties of the first district profiling her
campaign issues. She supported stabilization of farm products, improved labor
legislation and the production and conservation of domestic minerals and
metals. Favoring broader Social Security coverage and reduced taxes, her
platform also included support for humanitarian legislation. Of greater
significance and one which marked her congressional career, she opposed private
interests and championed the federal construction of a high, multi-purpose dam
at Hells Canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border. Later, in her first speech before
the House of Representatives on April 16, 1953, she introduced the bill to
allow the federal government the right to construct a dam on the Snake River.
Her vigorous support of the project earned her the sobriquet: "Hell's Belle."
Throughout her career in the House, Pfost continued to support legislation
protecting mining (lead-zinc) and timber interests as well as bills providing
for public works and federal aid to education.
In Congress, Pfost was appointed to the House Committee on Interior
and Insular Affairs and served on or chaired the subcommittees on Irrigation
and Reclamation, Mines and Mining and Public Lands. She was also a member of
the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee. She was also named to
special subcommittees, one to study water resources and one to investigate
Foundations Exempt from Income Tax. In 1960 she was a conference delegate to
the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission.
In addition to her political responsibilities, Pfost was a member of
the Idaho Federation of Womens' Clubs, Business and Professional Women's Club,
Soroptimist Club, Gem Area Girl Scout Council, Nampa Chamber of Commerce and
the Idaho Real Estate Board. Before election to Congress, she was a delegate to
the Democratic National Conventions in 1944, 1948 and 1952. For recreation and
relaxation she enjoyed hunting, fishing, and painting.
On August 11, 1965, Gracie Pfost died of Hodgkin's Disease at Johns
Hopkins Hospital near Baltimore, Maryland. With her death "Idaho [lost its]
First Lady of Politics."
The papers of Gracie Pfost span the years 1950 to 1963, with the bulk
of the material covering the years 1953 to 1962. A few of her speeches dating
from the 1940s are also included.
The congressional papers include administrative records, such as
inter-office memos and mailing lists; constituent correspondence, which is
divided into three sections and forms the major part of the collection; general
and personal correspondence; legislative material which includes bills
introduced by Gracie Pfost, her statements to congressional committees,
Congressional Record inserts, and committee files; public relations material
which includes her speeches, newspaper clippings, news releases, and audio
tapes of radio speeches. The campaign files include campaign material, files of
clippings on people, places, or events of interest to her, as well as other
political files.
Signatures of well known politicians such as Harry Truman, John
McCormack, Frank Church, and John F. Kennedy may be found in some of the
folders. Presence of these signatures is noted on the folder itself.
The University of Idaho library also has the congressional papers of
Mrs. Pfost's successor in the House of Representatives, Compton I. White, Jr.
(Manuscript Group 93).
The majority of Gracie Pfost's papers were in labeled folders when
received; the unlabeled material was sorted and integrated into existing
categories. Every effort was made to retain the original folder headings,
although it was sometimes necessary to make slight alterations, such as adding
a committee name in the legislative correspondence. Occasionally material
relating to the same subject shows up in several series, and it is necessary
for the researcher to consult each series to identify all the material.
The first series, Correspondence, is divided into five subseries, the
first three of which deal with constituent correspondence. The first
subdivision, Legislation, is arranged alphabetically by the Congressional
committee which Mrs. Pfost contacted for assistance in answering a question or
to which a particular piece of legislation had been referred. The second
subseries is arranged by the government department which supplied information
for answers to constituent problems; and the third subseries is arranged
alphabetically by independent agency. The general correspondence contains both
constituent and official letters, and is arranged alphabetically by subject.
Many of the folders in this subseries were heavily sampled since many requests
for publications were routine and duplicated year after year. This subseries
also includes form letters, mimeographed letters, and mass mailings sent by the
office, and applications for post office positions. Returns of Small Business
Ballots, the opinions of small businessmen on legislation before Congress as
registered on printed forms, which were also heavily sampled, are also in this
section. The final subseries in this series contains personal and political
correspondence.
The second series consists of legislative material. The bills
introduced by Congresswoman Pfost are filed both cumulatively by Congress, and
also individually by House Bill number if there is any supporting documentation
such as committee or departmental reports. Some correspondence is also included
in the files. Also included are typescripts of her statements to congressional
committees, typescripts of speeches made on the floor of the House,
Congressional Record inserts, and voting records, both official and those
prepared by special interest groups. Other material includes material gathered
while serving on committees. Some of these which include inter-committee
correspondence or material relating to specific committee activities are filed
by committee. Most of the remainder of the material is arranged alphabetically
by subject. The majority of Hells Canyon material is in this section.
The Administrative series contains inter-office memos, lists of Idaho
newspapers, various post office statistics, e.g. the number of box holders, to
assist the staff with mass mailings, lists of members of organizations in Idaho
which were used for specialized mass mailings, and samples of stationery,
telephone, and telegraph accounts. Also included are names of members of a
variety of organizations which were used for specialized mailing lists.
The Public Relations series contains various biographical sketches
prepared by Mrs. Pfost's staff, and some published articles by and about her.
Also included are her newsletters to constituents, press releases issued by her
office, newspaper clippings, typed copies of speeches, and several audio tapes
(reel to reel) of radio speeches.
The final series contains campaign files dating from her unsuccessful
first bid for Congress in 1950 through her Senate race in 1962, also
unsuccessful. Included in these files are campaign brochures, newspaper
clippings dealing with Mrs. Pfost and her opponents, and election results.
There are also files concerning the Democratic party and other material of a
political nature, including files on Idaho politicians, and a card file listing
Democrats in Idaho alphabetically by county, and items of personal
interest.
The historical and research value of 33 boxes of "white" carbon copies
of outgoing letters which were filed alphabetically by correspondent was
questioned and found to be very limited, therefore they were discarded. Many
large "single issue" files, such as the anti-liquor advertising campaign, were
sampled by taking every 10th or in some cases every 25th item. In other cases
only one complete folder was retained. The Small Business Ballots were sampled
using the "fat folder" criteria. Only one year of statements for the
teletephone, telegraph and stationery accounts was retained. The method of
sampling is noted on the first folder in the sequence. The only large single
issue not sampled, but retained in total, was the correspondence concerning
Hells Canyon which was Pfost's major campaign issue. Single copies of machine
and sample letters were retained.
In arriving at item counts for each folder all material stapled
together, regardless of the number of papers involved, was counted as a single
item. After the count was determined, the staples were removed.
Following the guidelines in the Senate records management guide the
following types of material were discarded: declined invitations, when filed
separately; out of state correspondence, when filed separately; and job
applications. Using the same guidelines, only the records of those applicants
accepted at the several service academies were retained. Duplicates of
mimeographed material were discarded without notation; however, many
correspondence files contained similar carbon responses attached to incoming
letters. In these cases the carbons were discarded and a separation sheet
documenting the number of such carbons was prepared. Similarly separation
sheets were prepared when individual replies were sent to signers of petitions
or mail campaigns waged by special interest groups.
Government documents were separated from the collection and sent to
the government documents library. Other published material was removed for
consideration for the general book collection.
When the Records Storage Center transferred the papers of Gracie Pfost
to the office of Senator Frank Church they totaled 355 cubic feet. He and his
staff reduced the records to 170 cubic feet before sending them to the
University of Idaho Library where they were reduced to 157 cubic feet. There is
no record of what material Church discarded, but it appears from transfer
documents that the material discarded after receipt by the university library
included books, government documents, plus many duplicate copies of
publications. In the final processing, undertaken 22 years after receipt of the
papers, the collection was reduced by another 96 cubic feet.
The congressional papers of Representative Gracie Pfost were donated
to the University of Idaho Library by Idaho's Senior Senator Frank Church, in
1968.
The papers were processed by Judith Nielsen, with the assistance of
Wilma Woods and Randy Doyle, between October 1990 and June 1991.
