Abstract: Papers of James S. Haney, a Neenah, Wisconsin paper company executive, lawyer, and Republican Party activist. Haney was active in Republican and student politics throughout his years at the University of Wisconsin, 1963-1972, and was a part-time aide to Governor Warren P. Knowles. Following graduation from law school, Haney served as chairman of the Dane County Republican Party, 1973-1974, and as chairman of the New Republican Conference, organized to recruit moderate Republican candidates and to develop Republican alternatives in Wisconsin. The papers include correspondence, mostly pertaining to Haney's political activities, including reference to national, state, and county conventions, fundraising, campaigns, and recruitment. Also included are copies of Knowles' speeches, press releases, and bulletins; correspondence of Knowles' executive secretary, Paul Hasset; form letters used in the governor's office; and newsletters, press releases, committee reports, and miscellany relating to various political groups and events from 1962 to 1974.
