Title	A statement on public education by John F. Dockweiler, candidate for the democratic nomination for Governor
Creator	Unknown
Date Published	1938
Description	A trifold brochure supporting John F. Dockweiler's 1938 campaign to become Governor of California. A statement at the bottom of the first page reads, "The statement contained in this folder is in answer to a request addressed to Congressman John F. Dockweiler in Washington by the Executive Committee of Dockweiler for Governor, Inc., asking him for his views on public education in California." In the statement, he claims that public education should be supported generously by both the community and the state, and stresses the importance of public education to a democratic society.
Historical Background	The Dockweiler family has been closely intertwined with Los Angeles religious, political, and civic life. John Francis Dockweiler (d. 1943) was one of thirteen children born to Isidore Dockweiler (1867-1947) and Gertrude Reeve Dockweiler (1871-1937), eleven of whom survived infancy. John Francis followed in his father's political footsteps, serving as a Democratic U.S. Congressman (1933-1939), District Attorney of Los Angeles County (1940-1943), and running unsuccessfully for governor of California in the 1938 Democratic primary.

Transcription	[left panel] MEET JOHN F. DOCKWEILER Congressman John F. Dockweiler, Representative of the Sixteenth District of California, is a Statesman with a National reputation. He is the fourth ranking member of the Democratic Party in Congress, with advanced seniority as a member of the Appropriations Committee. Dockweiler is a native of California, well acquainted with its need. He was born, educated, and practiced as an attorney in Los Angeles for 10 years before going to Congress. He is a descendant of one of the State's pio-neer famlies, and he is a worthy representative of that family, which for 50 years has been prominently identi-fied with the upbuilding of the State. He is one of eleven children... eight sons and three daughters. Of the eight sons, one is a Congressman, one a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Construction Corps, one a Judge of the Superior Court, one is a doc-tor, three are practicing attorneys, and the youngest a law student. His three sisters are married and living in California. Here is the brilliant son of a brilliant Cali-fornia family, headed by Isidore B. Dockweiler, former National Democratic Committeeman and for 50 years identified with local, State and National affairs. Dockweiler comes from a family prominent in Cali-fornia since 1852 and in that time there has never been one word of censure, one word of criticism directed to ward a member of the Dockweiler family. John Dockweiler is 43 years of age this year. He has been a representative in the Congress of the United States for six years. He is able, qualified, fearless and is a champion of the cause of business, as well as a friend of the laboring man. [middle panel] [star] Be sure that you and your friends are reg-istered as Democrats so that you may cast your ballots for John F. Dockweiler for Governor on August 30, 1938, and on November 8, 1938. Congressman John F. Dockweiler's posi-tion on any public question may be learned by communicating with the nearest local Dockweiler-for-Governor headquarters.
