Political devil. The Judas Iscariot of Oregon politics. Little
Napoleon. Those are among the terms used to describe Joseph Simon,
the nation's first Jewish Republican senator. Oregon's Boss Simon
was a machine politician who hobnobbed with U.S. presidents. But he
had an ugly falling out with Teddy Roosevelt, accusing the
president of discriminating against him because he was Jewish. The
author had heard about his famous relative. But no one in the
family knew much about Senator Simon. So, Richard Simon, a former
congressional correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, looked into
Senator Simon's life. What he discovered was a man described as
?worse than a Southern Pacific train robber.? Joe Simon's election
to the U.S. Senate was called ?one of the greatest political
surprises ever. Simon, an attorney for powerful railroads, played a
critical role in the development of the Pacific Northwest.
