GREAT SOUTHERN
vintage political election
campaign pinback button for your growing collection...1972 Arkansas senate hopeful Ted Boswell
Ted Gene Boswell
was born in Little Rock, on Oct. 29,1932. He was a member of the US Marine Corps and served during the Korean War. Ted was a practicing attorney at the Boswell Law Firm in Bryant and practiced law for 62 years. He was a dedicated trial attorney committed to a professional life of advocacy for his clients, with a strong belief in the rule of law. His desire to help people who are less fortunate and the ability to work the courtroom were two of many reasons that Ted was recognized as one of the leading litigators in the state and in the Nation. In his words, "You've got to have a burning desire to serve… most clients are without the means to finance litigation and prevail. You have to have a strong presence on their behalf to face a strong corporate entity. You must have the tenacity in that you don't give up." He has been profiled in Best Lawyers in America since the beginning of the publication in 1983 and he served as a faculty member with the Center for International Legal Studies. He was honored by both local and national bar and trial lawyer associations.
Because of Ted's passion for a better quality of life for his fellow citizens, he was willing to participate in broader public service in a political way. In 1967, he was appointed by the Arkansas Speaker of the House to serve on the Arkansas Constitutional Revision Study Commission. In 1968, he declared his candidacy for Governor of Arkansas, as he continued to advocate for a new constitution, more funding for education in the state, economic development, a lower voting age and integration in the public schools. In the Fall of 1968, he hosted then Vice President Hubert Humphrey and his running mate, Senator Edmund Muskie, on Humphrey's presidential campaign visit to Arkansas. Ted had strong support from working people and labor unions as well as educators and teachers' unions.
***He decided to run for the U.S. Senate in 1972, advocating for a system of national health insurance during his campaign.
He was a member of the U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society, and enjoyed friendships with Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice William Brennan. Following in the footsteps of generations before him, Ted continued to support the community that nurtured him during his childhood and throughout his lifetime by investing in the beautification, growth and preservation of Bryant. In his advocacy with other community minded friends and in support of his brother, former Bryant Mayor Dean Boswell Jr., Ted worked to establish park space, preserved green space in commercial areas and encouraged private development that was in line with Smart Growth principles.
After his family donated land for the original Saline County Library Branch in Bryant in 1968, he and his wife, Joyce, donated additional land for expansion of the library, as well as land for the current library. He engaged in preservation and attempted preservation of many buildings in Bryant, as well as continuing the family ethic established by his mother, Mabel Boswell and his sister Valine Mayer of documenting and preserving a written history of Bryant.
Ted was a former board member of Arkansas Audubon, active with the Nature Conservancy Arkansas. He dearly loved the woodlands, stream and lake and all their natural inhabitants which surrounded the family home in Bryant, and he very much enjoyed sharing the beauty of nature with his family and friends. He treasured the land that he grew up on with his siblings, right next door to his grandparent's home, the same home where he eventually raised his own children and grandchildren. He and his wife Joyce valued conservation and together they worked to build upon their family's land to continue to share with future generations.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I know He holds my hand;
so whether in the green or desert land
I trust although I may not understand.
And by still waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path of thine I lead the way.
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
