Scope and Content NoteThe papers of William Allen White (1868-1944) span the years 1859-1944, with the bulk of the material from 1899 to1944. The collection consists almost entirely of correspondence and relates to White's personal life and career as editor ofthe Emporia Gazette who figured prominently in public affairs nationally and in Kansas. The letters range from requestsfrom autograph collectors and comments on editorials appearing in the Emporia Gazette that White edited to hisvoluminous and significant correspondence with each president from Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Thecollection is arranged in six series: Family Correspondence, Letterbooks, General Correspondence, SpecialCorrespondence, Miscellany, and Addition.


The major aspects of White's career as a politician, newspaper editor, and author are richly illuminated in hiscorrespondence. In the area of politics, there is correspondence concerning both the national and local scenes. There is alsoa great deal of material concerning White's attempt to win elective office when he ran as an independent candidate forgovernor of Kansas in 1924. This segment of the papers contains information as well about his fight against the risinginfluence in the state of the Ku Klux Klan. His pervasive influence in the politics of Kansas is revealed in correspondencewith Governors Henry Justin Allen, Arthur Capper, Edward W. Hoch, George H. Hodges, Alfred M. Landon, Ben Paulen,Clyde Reed, Walter R. Stubbs, Payne Ratner, and Frank Carlson. Other political figures from Kansas with whom he wasclosely allied are Joseph Dolley, Joseph Little Bristow, Victor Murdock, and Edward H. Rees. Of particular significance isWhite's correspondence with Henry Justin Allen, Arthur Capper, Alfred M. Landon, and Victor Murdock. Allenaccompanied White overseas during World War I as an observer for the American Red Cross and shared equal billing withhim in White's novel, The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me. Correspondence with Landon shows White's influence inthe shaping of his political philosophy.

The most numerous of White's presidential correspondence is with Theodore Roosevelt, which reveals the part played byWhite during the election of 1912, when he temporarily broke from the Republican Party to participate in the Bull Moosecampaign as a national committeeman and chairman of publicity for Roosevelt.

Writers represented in the papers include Hamlin Garland, Upton Sinclair, H. L. Mencken, Carl Sandburg, William RoseBenét, Ida M. Tarbell, Oswald Garrison Villard, Mark Sullivan, Drew Pearson, and Walter Lippmann. Of particular interestis White's correspondence with Harry Kemp and Edna Ferber. Kemp's letters cover the years 1909 to 1919 and offer a viewof the author's development from his first publication, a four-act play titled Judas (New York, M. Kennerley, 1913), up tothe eve of the publication of Chanteys and Ballads (New York, Brentano's [circa 1920]). Ferber was a friend and confidanteof White, and her letters, beginning in 1912 extend throughout the correspondence.

As one of the judges appointed to the original panel of the Book-of-the-Month Club when it was founded in 1926, Whiteparticipated in the selection of books until his death. There is much correspondence with the club's founder, HarryScherman; its directors, Robert Haas and Meredith Wood; and with his fellow judges, Clifton Fadiman, ChristopherMorley, Amy Loveman, and Henry Seidel Canby. There is an abundance of correspondence with Dorothy Canfield Fisher,little of which is concerned with the book club's activities.

The day-to-day business of editing and managing a small-town daily newspaper was White's main concern.Correspondence with newspapermen such as Henry Haskell, Roy Roberts, Roy Bailey, Medill McCormick, Arthur H.Sulzberger, and Josephus Daniels is voluminous. There are many letters exchanged with the Associated Press, the only wireservice furnishing news for the Gazette, and papers related to White's work with the American Society of NewspaperEditors.

Among others who are well represented in the papers are William Smith Culbertson, a native of Emporia who had adistinguished diplomatic career and whose papers are also located in the Library; the cartoonist Jay N. (“Ding”) Darling;architect Frank Lloyd Wright; Kansas artist John Steuart Curry; psychiatrist Karl Menninger; Walter White and RoyWilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and various chancellors of Kansas StateUniversity during the time White served as a regent, 1900-1913. Throughout the papers are letters from persons writing oftheir responses to White's editorial tribute to his daughter, Mary White, who was killed in a horseback riding accident in1921.

Family correspondence includes the letters of White's wife, Sallie, and his son, William Lindsay White, who succeeded himas editor of the Gazette.

A section of chronologically arranged correspondence relates to White's chairmanship of the Committee to Defend Americaby Aiding the Allies, 1940-1941; arrangements for his speaking engagements, 1924-1943, and papers concerning theinternal workings of the Gazette, such as subscriptions, orders for paper stock, and advertising.
