Description: Photograph showing President Lyndon B. Johnson shaking the hand of Congressman John J. Gilligan of Ohio. In 1953, John Gilligan embarked upon a career in politics, winning election to the Cincinnati City Council as a member of the Democratic Party. Gilligan served on the council from 1953 to 1963. In 1964, Gilligan won election to the United States House of Representatives, representing Ohio's 1st District. He only served one term (1965-1967). He lost his reelection bid because the Republican-controlled state legislature redrew his district, placing a much larger number of Republicans in it. In 1968, Gilligan unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate. Undaunted after these two defeats, Gilligan remained active in politics, winning election to the Ohio governor's office in 1970. During Gilligan's administration, Ohio adopted a graduated state income tax to overcome budget shortfalls. Gilligan also saw the implementation of the state lottery during his time in office, although he opposed this measure. In 1973, the state legislature and the governor concurred to lower the voting age to eighteen years, and Gilligan also secured funding to improve Ohio's transportation infrastructure. The governor sought reelection in 1974, but he lost to former governor James Rhodes. In 1948, Lyndon B. Johnson won election to the United States Senate. He remained as one of Texas' two senators until 1960, when he ran for the vice presidency of the United States. John F. Kennedy was his running mate. Johnson helped Kennedy win the election of 1960 by helping convince white Southerners to vote for Kennedy, a Northerner from Massachusetts. The presidential election of 1960 was one of the closest elections in American history. While Johnson was a senator and as vice president, he was a supporter of space exploration, of extending civil rights to people of all races, and of increasing federal funding for education. He also became a strong opponent of communism. On November 22, 1963, an assassin killed John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. As vice president, Johnson succeeded Kennedy as president. Johnson urged the United States Congress and the American people to honor Kennedy by fulfilling the former president's call for a New Frontier in the United States. Johnson encouraged the Congress to eliminate racial discrimination, to end poverty and hunger in the United States, to redevelop dilapidated cities (Model Cities Program), to provide the American people with federally-financed health care (Medicare and Medicaid), and to increase funding for education (including the Jobs Corps and Project Head Start, among other programs). Ohioan Theodore Berry was instrumental in assisting Johnson in establishing Head Start. Johnson called his policy the Great Society, hoping to make the United States the greatest nation on the face of the earth. As part of this Great Society policy, Johnson also implemented the War on Poverty in 1964, hoping to eliminate poverty in the United States. Johnson experienced much success when it came to his domestic policy. The United States Congress implemented most of his budget proposals, and the number of Americans living in poverty declined during Johnson's administration. Because of his Great Society programs, Johnson won election to the presidency in 1964. When it came to his foreign policy, Johnson experienced far fewer successes. Johnson was the president who escalated American involvement in Vietnam. This conflict divided Americans and helped lead to a sense of distrust for many Americans with their government. Students, among other Americans, protested the Vietnam War, and sometimes these protests turned violent, such as at Kent State University, in Kent, Ohio, in 1970. As it became clear to the American people in 1968 that the United States was no closer to winning the Vietnam War than it had been in 1964, Johnson announced that he would not seek reelection to the presidency. His presidential term ended in January 1969. Because of Johnson's actions in Vietnam, Ohioans cast their ballots for the Republican candidate for president, Richard Milhous Nixon, in 1968. Nixon had the widest margin of victory in Ohio than he had in any other state.s as the governor of Kansas. Gilligan and Sebelius are the only father and daughter to be elected as state governors.

Description: This photograph shows various military aircraft at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. Two men are standing in the center background of the photograph. Beginning in the 1910s, with World War I's outbreak, the United States government began investigating the use of airplanes in war. In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson created the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA). This committee suggested establishing a center to research the use of airplanes in the military and also to seek improvements in airplane technology. Due to the presence of several automobile and aircraft plants in Ohio, the NACA established this center at McCook Field in Dayton, Ohio. By 1924 the United States Air Corps had outgrown the facilities at McCook Field. Hoping to keep the Air Corps in Dayton, city officials and residents donated 5,250 acres of land on the city's outskirts. The Air Corps accepted the land and built Wright Field on the site. The base was named Wright Field to honor Orville and Wilbur Wright's contributions to flight. The Wrights had tested many of their early airplanes in the vicinity of Wright Field. Wright Field formally opened in 1927. In 1926 the United States government created the Army Air Corps, replacing the earlier Air Corps. The Army Air Corps stationed its Materiel Division at Wright Field. Here, scientists continued to improve aircraft. The scientists also realized that they had to work together to create the best possible plane. Before creation of the Army Air Corps, researchers studied individual parts of the plane, like engines, armor, wings, and propellers. Now scientists continued to specialize in individual components of planes, but they realized that changes in a plane's armor would affect all other parts of the plane. The same held true for changes in engines, wings, and the other parts of a plane. Under the Army Air Corps, researchers now kept a dialogue open between the various experts. Despite Wright Field's existence, the United States Army Air Corps entered World War II at a severe disadvantage numerically and technologically when compared to the air forces of other nations. To help overcome these weaknesses, the federal government in 1940 designated $300 million to improve Wright Field and to create an Air Corps with at least 5,500 planes. In 1941 only forty buildings existed at Wright Field, but by 1944 the airfield consisted of more than three hundred buildings. During World War II, research continued on airplanes, with much attention focused upon improving the horsepower of plane engines, airplanes' ranges and maneuverability, safety features for crews, and weapons. Workers at Wright Field helped to design and to construct numerous airplanes, such as the C-47 Skytrain, the C-54 Skymaster, the Curtiss C-46 Commando, the Sikorsky XR-4, the Curtiss-Wright P-40 Warhawk, the B-24 Liberator, and the B-29 Superfortress, among many others, during World War II. After World War II, Wright Field continued to play a major role in aircraft research and construction. In 1947 the United States government created the United States Air Force, eliminating the Army Air Forces and establishing a new branch of the United States military. That same year the Air Force combined Wright Field with nearby Patterson Field, creating Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Research continues at the base's facilities today, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is also home to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows a street scene of William Harrison's inauguration. William Henry Harrison was an American political and military leader and the ninth President of the United States. He was born in Charles County, Virginia, on February 9, 1773. He attended and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College and, at his father's insistence, studied medicine from 1790 to 1791 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Upon his father's death in 1791, Harrison immediately joined the United States Army. Harrison continued to serve in the military until 1798, when he resigned and accepted a new position as the Secretary of the Northwest Territory. He held this position until 1799. Because of Harrison's excellent political skills, President John Adams selected him to be the governor of the Indiana Territory on May 12, 1800. The Indiana Territory included modern-day Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. He held this office until 1813. In 1812, the War of 1812 began between the United States and Great Britain. President James Madison promoted Harrison to the rank of brigadier-general and put him in command of the Army of the Northwest. In October 1813, Harrison led the Army of the Northwest against a combined British and Native American force led by General Henry Proctor and Tecumseh. Known as the Battle of the Thames, the United States emerged victorious. The British ran from the battlefield, leaving the Native Americans to fight on alone. The Americans defeated the Native Americans, killing Tecumseh. Following the War of 1812, Harrison returned to politics. He made his home at North Bend just west of Cincinnati, Ohio. He represented Ohio in the United States Congress for two terms. He also served as the United States ambassador to Colombia in 1828 and 1829. In 1836, he ran as a member of the Whig Party against Democrat Martin Van Buren for the Presidency of the United States. Van Buren, Vice President under Andrew Jackson, won the election. In 1840, Harrison ran against the incumbent. He emphasized his military record against Tecumseh and the British in the War of 1812 with John Tyler of Virginia as his running mate. His campaign slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too." The sixty-eight-year-old Harrison was inaugurated into office on March 4, 1841, on a cold, overcast day. His speech was one of the longest inauguration speeches in presidential history at 8,445 words. He served the shortest time in office of any man elected to the presidency. He died from pneumonia on April 4, 1841, one month after taking office. John Tyler was his Vice president and successor. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photographic reproduction of an engraving is a portrait of John A. Bingham, who served as a U.S. Representative from Ohio from 1855 to 1863 and again from 1865 to 1873. The image appears to be one of several portraits of government officials; portions of oval frames are visible to the lower right and left of Bingham’s portrait. Header text on the page reads: “Clerk’s Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District…” The caption underneath Bingham’s portrait identifies him as “Bingham, Ohio.” Likely the portraits are included in an official government directory or record. Bingham, an early advocate of emancipation, is credited with drafting the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He also served as a prosecutor during the trial of the individuals charged with conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives chose Bingham as one of seven “managers” to lead impeachment proceedings against President Andrew Johnson in 1868. Bingham was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, the son of Hugh Bingham and Ester Bailey Bingham. The elder Bingham was a prosperous artisan who was active in local politics. When John Bingham was twelve years old, his mother died, and he went to live with his uncle, Thomas Bingham, in Cadiz, Ohio. He worked as a printer’s apprentice for two years, then attended Franklin College (New Athens, Ohio), studied law, and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1840. He established a law practice in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, but later returned to Cadiz, where he married his first cousin, Amanda Bingham, in 1844. Active in local politics, Bingham originally was a member of the Whig Party. In 1846, Tuscarawas County voters elected him to the office of prosecuting attorney, a position he held until 1849. Five years later he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Whig and was re-elected as a Republican for three more consecutive terms (serving from 1855 to 1863). He unsuccessfully ran for re-election to the House in 1862. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln appointed him judge-advocate of the Union Army with the rank of major in 1864. That fall Bingham defeated incumbent U.S. Representative Joseph White, a Democrat, in the Congressional elections. Bingham began his second tenure in the House in March 1865, just weeks before Lincoln’s assassination. Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton appointed Bingham to a three-member team that prosecuted the defendants on trial for conspiring to assassinate Lincoln. In December 1865, Republican leaders selected Bingham as one of nine congressmen to represent the House on the Joint Committee on Reconstruction. In January 1866, Bingham introduced a proposal that the United States Constitution be amended to establish that "The Congress shall have the power to make all laws necessary and proper to secure to all persons in every state within this Union equal protection in their rights of life, liberty and property." Bingham's proposal subsequently became the basis for the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was approved by Congress in June 1866 and ratified by the states in July 1868. On March 2, 1868, House members selected Bingham as one of seven "managers to conduct the impeachment against Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, on the part of the House" Bingham chaired the committee of managers and presented the prosecution's closing, three-day summation in Johnson's trial before the Senate. In 1872 Bingham lost his bid for re-election to the House. In 1873, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him as U.S. minister to Japan, a post he held until 1885. Bingham returned to Cadiz, Oho, where he was a vocal opponent of Jim Crow laws that were being enacted in the South. He died on March 19, 1900. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "U.S. Playing Card Co. Norwood, Ohio. Cincinnati, Ohio." The United States Playing Card Company, located on Beech Avenue at the end of Park Avenue, is a buff brick building with a Neo-Romanesque square clock tower. Russell, Morgan & Co. was started in 1867 in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a printing company making mostly posters, placards and labels. The company began printing playing cards in 1881, with 20 employees making about 1600 packs a day. In 1891, Russell, Morgan and Company renamed themselves The United States Printing Company. In 1894, due to growing sucess, the playing card business was separated from the main company and became The United States Playing Card Company. By 1900, The United States Playing Company moved from downtown, to a newly built factory in Norwood, a suburb in north-east Cincinnati. The four story bell tower was added at the main building entrance in 1926, and housed 12 carillon bells, which ranged from 1 1/2 feet to 5 1/2 feet. The chimes were connected electronically local radio station WSAI, and were the first set built for the purpose of radio broadcasting. WSAI was not only owned and operated by USPC from 1922 to 1930, but was located on their main campus, and used to broadcast bridge lessons, which could be heard as far away as New Zealand. WSAI was sold to Crosley Radio Station during the 1930s. Along with playing card accessories such as poker chips, it distributes cards, such as Kem, Bee, Bicycle, Arcane, Aviator, Alladin, Maverick, Tuxedo, Hoyle and tally Ho. The cards are also used by famous magicians and companies like Bicycle make cheats decks only for illusionists. Bee is a high quality brand used in casinos, while Bicycle is an inexpensive brand that has been the top selling brand in the world. During World War II, the company made cards that could be pulled apart when submerged in water. The inside was a map and wen all the cards were put together, it was a large map. These were supplied to POW's who could use the map to reach safety, if they were able to escape. During the Vietnam Was, the company provided U. S. Soldiers with cards. It was commonly believed that the Viet Cong thought the cards would a symbol of death and would flee if they say the ace of spades. This was not true, but the cards served to boast the morale of the soldiers. The company is now located in at 300 Gap Way in Erlanger, KY. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Sr., standing behind a podium and microphone. Behind him is a display of newspapers attached to a wood strip. Robert Alphonso Taft, Sr., was a prominent United States Senator from Ohio in the mid-twentieth century. Taft was born on September 8, 1889, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father was William Howard Taft, a president of the United States. Robert Taft attended public schools in Cincinnati, as well as schools in Manila, Philippines, where his father was governor general, and the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut. In 1910, he graduated from Yale University and then earned a law degree at Harvard University in 1913. Upon graduating from Harvard, Taft practiced law in Cincinnati. He served as an assistant counsel to the United States Food Administration from 1917 to 1918. A member of the Republican Party, Taft won election to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1920. He held this office from 1921 to 1926 and eventually rose to the rank of speaker and majority leader. During 1931 and 1932, he served in the Ohio Senate. In 1938, Taft won election to the United States Senate. He served until 1953, winning reelection in 1944 and 1950. His greatest contribution in the Senate was his co-sponsorship of the Taft-Hartley Act, which limited the power of unions by banning "unfair" union practices, outlawed closed union shops, and permitted the federal government to seek federal court injunctions against unions if a strike threatened the national interest. Believing that they were socialistic, Taft also sought to end many of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs. In 1940, 1948, and 1952, Taft sought the Republican Party's presidential nomination, but was unsuccessful each time. His firm support of Republican issues led him to be nicknamed "Mr. Republican." On January 3, 1953, he became majority leader of the Senate. Taft died on July 31, 1953, during his third Senate term. View on Ohio Memory.
