Martin Ashton Hutchinson Papers, Accession #7736,
Special Collections, University of Virginia Library,
Charlottesville, Va.
Acquisition Information
The papers were a gift to the library on 16 November
1964 from Mrs. Martin A. Hutchinson, 1625 Westbrook Avenue,
Richmond, Virginia, through Joseph H. Harrison, Jr., 11
Ashby Road, Fairfax, Virginia.
The son of Daniel Mason Hutchinson and Theresa (Jones)
Hutchinson, Martin Ashtin Hutchinson was born in Newport,
Giles County, Virginia, on September 13, 1892. Raised on a
farm, he attended public schools, and in 1914 he studied at
Roanoke National Business College. From 1915-1919 he worked in
a law office in Pearisburg and was Deputy Treasurer of Giles
County. He served in the army for a seven month period in 1918
and in that same year married Mary Estelle Givens of Craig
County by whom he had one daughter, Madge. Hutchinson had
helped E. Lee Trinkle in his campaign for the state senate,
and Trinkle, later governor, got him a job as journal clerk of
the Senate. Hutchinson served in this post from 1920 to 1923.
He then served as chief clerk to the secretary of the
Commonwealth, 1925-1927. He studied law at night for two years
and was admitted to the Virginia Bar on 20 December 1927.
In 1927, Governor Harry F. Byrd appointed him secretary of
the Commonwealth; however, Byrd later decided to abolish this
office and merge the duties with those of the governor's
secretary. Hutchinson opposed this move, not only because he
would lose his post, but also because he believed Byrd's plan
was undemocratic. Byrd did in fact abolish the job in 1930.
Hutchinson devoted himself to the practice of law, mainly tax
and corporate cases, in the Richmond firm of Kirsch and Bazile
from this time until his death in 1962. He continued to be
heavily involved in politics, as he served as secretary of the
Democratic State Central Committee from 1925-1939. He became a
staunch backer of the progressive governor James Price, and
held the post of chairman of the State Compensation Board in
Price's administration from 1939-1942. During World War II he
was United States Government Appeal Agent, Richmond Local
[Draft] Board No. 6.
Through his career, Hutchinson consistently supported the
Democratic party on the national level and worked hard for all
of the presidential candidates. He greatly admired Franklin D.
Roosevelt and criticized Byrd and Carter Glass for their
opposition to the New Deal. By the mid-forties, Hutchinson had
emerged as one of the leading Democratic liberals who opposed
the Byrd "organization" and advocated improved social services
and education. In 1946, he challenged Senator Byrd in the
Democratic primary. His campaign was handicapped by a lack of
money and manpower, however, and he received only 31.6% of the
vote. In the wake of his defeat, he and other liberal leaders
organized the Committee for Democracy in Virginia to discuss
and articulate their political principles.
In 1948 Hutchinson managed and directed the campaign of the
Truman-Barkley Straight Ticket Committee, which was believed
to have significantly contributed to the Truman victory in
Virginia and to have strengthened the liberal cause.
Hutchinson actively assisted his friend Francis Pickens Miller
in the Democratic gubernatorial primary in 1949 and the
senatorial primary of 1952; Miller was defeated on both
occasions. In 1950, President Truman nominated Hutchinson for
the position of Federal Trade Commissioner, but the nomination
was blocked by Senator Byrd for political reasons. By 1954,
Hutchinson was suffering from impaired vision and was unable
to actively participate in politics during the latter part of
his life.
Hutchinson was a member of the Richmond City and American
Bar Association, the Scottish Rite Masons of Richmond, and the
Virginia Historical Society. He belonged to Centenary
Methodist Church where he taught Sunday School. He died of a
heart attack on November 27, 1962.
The Martin Ashton Hutchinson collection, ca. 25,000 items
(21.7 shelf feet), consists of correspondence, papers and
newspaper clippings documenting the political and legal career
of this prominent Virginia Democrat, 1923-1962. The principal
subject of the correspondence is Democratic party politics,
and its theme is Hutchinson's gradual shift from alliance with
Harry F. Byrd to leadership of the liberal anti-Byrd faction.
The Hutchinson papers would be useful to students of twentieth
century Virginia politics and invaluable to those interested
in the development of the liberal wing of the state Democratic
party. This collection complements the Byrd, Miller, and
Whitehead papers in the Manuscripts Department.
In his capacity as state government official, secretary of
the Democratic State Central Committee, and party faithful,
Hutchinson corresponded with Democratic leaders such as J. M.
Hooker, John W. Flannigan, James P. Hart, P. H. Drewry, E. Lee
Trinkle, James H. Price, G. Walter Mapp, E. R. Combs, Leonard
G. Muse, Claude Pepper, Colgate Darden, and others. The
subjects include political strategy, primary and general
election campaigns, fund-raising, patronage, and state issues.
There are many letters to Hutchinson from persons seeking
jobs. Hutchinson corresponded with national Democratic party
leaders such as James A. Farley and J. Howard McGrath
concerning various presidential campaigns.
In the mid-1930's, Hutchinson expressed his strong support
for Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal and in 1945 began
to correspond primarily with liberal Democrats who opposed the
Byrd organization such as Lloyd M. Robinette, Francis Pickens
Miller, Moss Plunkett, Robert Whitehead, and Joseph H.
Harrison. There is a great deal of correspondence relating to
Hutchinson's unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination
for senator in 1946, Miller's two unsuccessful primary races,
and the formation of the liberal "Committee for Democracy in
Virginia" in 1947. Hutchinson corresponded with President
Harry S. Truman, his Administrative Assistant Donald S.
Dawson, Assistant Attorney General H. Graham Morison, and
Senator Paul Douglas concerning his nomination for Federal
Trade Commissioner in 1949-1950. There is a little
correspondence with J. Lindsay Almond as well. Hutchinson
frequently wrote to newspapermen Virginius Dabney, James J.
Kilpatrick, and Drew Pearson, discussing political
subjects.
The collection includes correspondence pertaining to
Hutchinson's law practice, heaviest from 1942-1945, when his
political activity was at a relatively low ebb. The only
significant family correspondence in the collection is between
Hutchinson and his brother Curry P. Hutchinson. These letters
discuss not only family matters, but also national, state, and
local politics as Curry was extremely active in the Democratic
Party in southwest Virginia. Hutchinson also corresponded with
his parents Daniel Mason Hutchinson and Theresa (Jones)
Hutchinson, his daughter Madge (Mrs. Franklin Marsh), his
brother John, and his sister Gertrude. Several folders
concerning Hutchinson's participation in Centenary Methodist
Church, 1955-1962, complete the correspondence.
In addition to the letters, there are political papers such
as speeches, pamphlets, press releases, reports, and campaign
account records, and a few business papers. There are also a
number of miscellaneous papers such as Sunday School lessons
and inspirational quotations. The collection includes many
newspaper clippings, mainly relating to politics, and one
photograph of Senator Thomas S. Martin. There are seven
phonograph recordings of speeches by Hutchinson in his 1946
campaign. Legal case files from Hutchinson's office round out
the collection.
The collection arrived at the library in rough
chronological order, and this organization has been retained.
The material has been arranged into the following major
groups: Political and Business Correspondence; Political and
Business Papers, Miscellaneous Papers; Newspaper Clippings;
and Legal Case Files. The political, business and family
correspondence has all been interfiled and is followed by
several folders of correspondence concerning Centenary
Methodist Church. The Miscellaneous Papers include the Sunday
School lessons and inspirational quotations. All of the
material in each of the categories has been arranged
chronologically.
