The author, Ricky Dobbs, views Allan Shivers as a transitional figure in the 1950s who paved the way for two-party politics in Texas when he (the governor) rejected the political ideology of the national Democratic Party in favor of Eisenhower and the Republican Party. This essay explains how the author goes about proving this argument by answering the following questions. What historical circumstances during the 1930s and 1940s set the stage for ideological splits within the Democratic Party? What in Allan Shivers's family background predisposed him ideologically to lead the conservative wing of the Democratic Party in Texas What ideological stands did he take as lieutenant governor that displayed his conservative tendencies? During his terms as governor, what positions did he take against the national Democratic Party and the loyalists in Texas who supported the national Democrats? Why did he "defect" to Eisenhower during the presidential races of 1952 and 1956 and what was the effect that his defection had on the Democratic Party in Texas? How did Shivers's political ideology and Shivercratsthat of the "" reflect Southern conservatism - the kind that clashed with the ideology of the national Democratic Party? If Shivers made Republicanism respectable in the Democratic South during the 1950's, how does the ideology of the Republican Party in Texas today resemble the conservative Democratic Party philosophy that Shivers espoused? How effective was Dobbs in showing that Shivers did in fact prepare the way for two-party politics in Texas?
