BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD JOHN THYE
Spanning almost thirty years of public service, the life of Edward
John Thye reflected much of Minnesota's heritage and political personality.
Thye was born near Frederick, South Dakota, on April 26, 1896, the son of
Andrew J. Thye, a Norwegian immigrant farmer. His family moved to a farm near
Northfield, Minnesota, when he was a young boy. After serving in the Army Air
Corps during World War I, Thye became a tractor expert and salesman for the
Deere and Webber Company of Minneapolis. In 1922, he resigned to become manager
and, later, owner of a dairy farm near Northfield.
In 1929, Thye was elected president of the Dakota County Farm Bureau.
While president of the bureau, he became friends with Dakota County Attorney
Harold Stassen, and actively supported Stassen's candidacy for governor of
Minnesota in 1938. With Sassen's victory came Thye's appointment as Minnesota's
Dairy and Food Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture
(1939-1942).
In 1942, he was elected lieutenant governor, and in April 1943,
assumed the governorship when Stassen resigned to enlist in the Navy. He was
reelected by a landslide in 1944. In 1946, after defeating incumbent Henrik
Shipstead in the primary race, Thye was elected United States Senator over
Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidate Theodore Jorgenson. He served in the Senate
until defeated by Eugene McCarthy in 1958.
Thye served on the Senate committees on Agriculture and Forestry,
Civil Service, Expenditures in the Executive Departments, Appropriations, the
Select Committee on Small Business (chairman), the subcommittee on
appropriation for the departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare,
the Subcommittee on Relations of Business to Government (chairman), the
Minority Policy Committee, and the Thomas subcommittee that toured Europe in
1949. He came into prominence as one of the seven cosigners of the "Declaration
of Conscience" written by Senator Margaret Chase Smith in reaction to
McCarthyism, and as a member of the Special Committee on Campaign Contributions
(1956). He was noted for his support of the interests of farmers and small
businessmen.
Biographical information was taken from the
Biographical Directory of the American Congress; from biographical
materials in the collection; from Who's Who in
Minnesota, 1958; and from Current
Biography, October 1951, p. 57.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Correspondence, speeches, background materials, bills and reports,
clippings, campaign literature, and related materials reflecting Thye's public
and official activities as U.S. senator (Republican) from Minnesota, 1947-1958.
A large percentage of the files deal with Thye's constituent relations and
services; expressions of Minnesota opinion on matters of national, state, and
local interest; and bills introduced or supported by Thye. The remainder
concern legislation, policies, programs, and projects which Congress and the
executive branch of the government acted upon during Thye's tenure.
The papers emphasize Minnesota issues, projects, events, communities,
and agricultural topics; U.S. Department of Agriculture programs and the work
of the Senate Agriculture Committee; military bases and facilities, Minnesota
defense contracts, activities of the U.S. Department of Defense, and related
topics; Indian affairs, especially community facilities, programs, and services
for Minnesota Indians; Minnesota post offices, airport facilities, and air
services; and the work of the Senate Select Committee on Small Business
(1953-1958), especially regarding assistance to Minnesota businesses.
There are substantial files relating to waterway improvements,
including Minnesota floods (from 1940), watershed and flood protection and
control, and reservoirs and dams, especially projects of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers in Minnesota and the upper Midwest.
Other files cover general political and Republican party matters, the
1952 presidential campaign, and Thye's own publicity activities, speeches,
statements, and 1952 Senate campaign.
ARRANGEMENT
The collection is primarily arranged as one large alphabetical subject
set. For the most part, topical matters appear as file units under the U.S.
department or agency with administrative responsibility for the pertinent
issue. Other file units, such as those regarding Thye's political campaigns,
his speeches, and authored bills, appear within the full alphabetical set.
Materials filed within the last five boxes of the collection comprise
such miscellaneous items as guestbooks, photographs, and clippings
scrapbooks.
