Kitchin, Claude (1869-1923)

Written by

Claude Kitchin represented North Carolina in the U.S. House during the early-twentieth century and served as Speaker of the House during the First World War.  In his public career, Kitchin typically adopted elements of the Populist and Progressive agendas and aligned his views with those of William Jennings Bryan.  But the North Carolinian is most known for questioning President Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy and the attempts to expand America’s role in world affairs.
