Scope and Content Note
The papers of Henry Justin Allen (1868-1950) span the years 1896-1942, with the bulk
concentrated in the period 1919-1942. The collection is organized in three series: [Pre-Gubernatorial File](pregubfile),
[Gubernatorial File](gubfile),
and [Post-Gubernatorial File
](postgubfile). Letters concerning family affairs, including occasional letters to his wife, are
scattered throughout the collection. Material relating to his business activities is
located in both the [
Gubernatorial ](gubfile) and [Post-Gubernatorial Files.](postgubfile)
Allen served four years as governor of Kansas, 1919-1923, and the achievements and
controversies that marked these years are documented in the [Gubernatorial File](gubfile). Arranged in seventeen
subseries, this series is composed primarily of correspondence and touches upon
virtually all aspects of Allen's tenure as governor. The material concerning the [Kansas Court of
Industrial Relations](gubfilecourtindrela) and a subseries on [labor relations](gubfilelabrelat) is particularly complete, while the
relatively small [Presidential File](gubfilepresfile) is a good source of information for Republican Party
politics in the months preceding the National Republican Convention in 1920. Other
topics include the Ku Klux Klan, the Industrial Workers of the World, the National
Nonpartisan League and Allen's debate over labor relations with Samuel Gompers. The
extensive [General
Correspondence](gubfilegencorres) subseries relates to all aspects of Allen's tenure, and letters
sent and received from prominent persons form the basis of the [Special Correspondence](gubfilespecorresp).
Prominent correspondents in the latter group include Will H. Hays, Harold L. Ickes,
Alfred M. Landon, Arthur H. Vandenberg, William Allen White, and Leonard Wood.
The [Post-Gubernatorial
File](postgubfile) chronicles Allen's public career after leaving the governorship, including
his brief tenure as United States senator, 1929-1930, and is divided into thirteen
subseries. The material in the [Special Correspondence](postgubfilespecorresp) and [General Correspondence](postgubfilegencorres)
subseries relates to all aspects of his career during this period, as does the material
in the [Publications
](postgubfilepub) and [Speech
Material ](postgubfilespeemat) files. The less-publicized facets of Allen's career, including his
activities on behalf of [Near East Relief](postgubfilenearrelief), [the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater
Association](postgubfilestlaw), and [Save the Children (U.S.)](postgubfilesavechilfed), are also amply
documented.
