1952 Favorite Son Hopeful Political Campaign Pin Back Buttons!
James O'Brien 'Brien'
McMahon mounted a successful campaign for
a Connecticut United States Senate seat in 1944,
defeating incumbent John A. Danaher. The Atomic Energy Act
of 1946 created a special Congressional committee,
the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. Brien McMahon served
as its first chairman in 1946,and again in 1949-1952.
As chairman of the committee he advocated an expanded
American nuclear arsenal and the building of the hydrogen bomb.
Connecticut voters reelected McMahon to his Senate seat in 1950.
In 1952, before being diagnosed with what would become
his fatal cancer, McMahon launched a campaign for the presidency,
with the "campaign slogan ...'The Man is McMahon' and
his main platform ... to insure world peace through fear of atomic weapons."
From his sickbed, he sent a message to the Democratic state
convention in Hartford, Connecticut saying that if elected President,
he would tell the Atomic Energy Commission to manufacture
thousands of hydrogen bombs.
Brien McMahon served in the United States Senate until his death
in Washington, D.C. in 1952, at age 48. More than four years remained in
his second Senate term. During his entire tenure in the Senate,
he served as Secretary of the Senate Democratic Conference.
