Eleanor, turned him into a progressive. He backed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and he supported the controversial Supreme Court decisions of the Warren Court: the one-man, one-vote require- ment for apportionment of state legislatures; the prohibition of prayer in public schools; and the guarantee of the rights of defendants to re- main silent and to be represented by counsel. Both before and after the shooting of Bobby Kennedy in June of 1968, Tydings was a propo- nent of federal gun regulation. Although 100th in seniority when he arrived


in the Senate, Tydings wrangled the chairman- ship of an obscure Judiciary subcommittee and used it to make long overdue improvements to the federal court system – many of which are still in place today. He helped create the system of federal magistrates to lighten the workload of federal judges; improved jury selection so that federal juries more fairly represented the make- up of their communities; and he worked to keep unfi t, unqualifi ed, or mentally or physically inca- pacitated judges off the bench. He became an en- emy of Richard Nixon by helping defeat two of the president’s Supreme Court nominees, Clem- ent F. Haynsworth, Jr., and G. Harrold Carswell. He was an early advocate for family planning and worried all his life about the detrimental health and environmental eff ects of worldwide overpopulation. He often did this work in con- cert with Republican colleagues, such as then- Congressman George H.W. Bush. He regularly decried the lack of bipartisanship in the Con- gress today.


Like many of his congressional peers, Tydings


came to offi ce supporting American involve- ment in Vietnam. But as the war escalated, deaths mounted and protests spread through- out the country, Tydings fi nally broke with Lyndon Johnson and came out against the war. T e issue, however, was so divisive that part of the electorate considered his opposition unpa- triotic, while others thought he had done too little to end the war.


By the time he stood for re-election in 1970, www.equiery.com | 800-244-9580


Tydings later admitted, he had probably sup- ported one liberal position too many. T e coun- try had changed. Nixon had replaced Johnson as president, and Tydings’ progressive outlook had been supplanted by the backlash to new civil rights laws, fear over race riots in Ameri- can cities, and division over Vietnam. T ree months before the election, Life maga- zine published an expose on Tydings that slan- dered his good name, but which was later – after the election was over – shown to be untrue. It was also disclosed that the story had been plant- ed by Nixon henchman Charles Colson. On a rainy November election day, Tydings narrowly lost re-election to J. Glenn Beall, Jr., the son of the man he had beaten six years earlier. Tydings made a belated bid for his old seat in 1976, but lost badly in the Democratic pri-


mary to his friend Paul Sarbanes. He never again sought or held elective offi ce. Instead, he built a national and international career in law and performed public service in many other ways, including as a board member for the University of Maryland Medical System and by off ering his legal services pro bono in cases challenging the death penalty. One of the many causes to which he dedicated his energies was the protection of Tennessee Walking horses from the inhumane practice of “soring.” He sought vigorous imple- mentation of the Horse Protection Act of 1970 that he had authored while still in the Senate. Tydings was born as Joseph Davies Chees-


borough in Asheville, NC, on May 4, 1928 to Eleanor Davies of Watertown, WI, and Tom Cheesborough of Asheville. Tydings’ sister, El- eanor Cheesborough, was born in 1932. In 1935, Eleanor divorced Cheesborough and


married Millard Tydings, who was then serv- ing his second term in the U.S. Senate. Several years later, Millard Tydings formally adopted young Joe and his sister, Eleanor. Tydings attended public schools in Aber-


deen, MD, before entering the McDonough School in Baltimore County as a military ca- det in 1938. Rather than going to college af- ter graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1946 and served in one of the army’s last horse platoons as part of the post-war occupation of Germany. When he returned to the States, he entered the University of Maryland, where he played lacrosse and football, and then earned his law degree at the University of Maryland Law School in 1953. While attending a steeplechase race at Fair


Hill, MD, in 1954, Tydings met Virginia Reyn- olds Campbell of Lewes, DE, and a year later they were married. After the birth of their four children and his service in the U.S. Senate, they divorced in 1974. In 1975, he married Terry Lynn Huntingdon of Mt. Shasta, CA, the mother of his fi fth child. T is marriage and two subsequent marriages ended in divorce. Tydings practiced law until he was 90. Just this past spring, his autobiography My Life in Pro- gressive Politics: Against the Grain was published. Tydings is survived by his sister, Eleanor Ty- dings Russell of Monkton, MD, by the four children of his fi rst marriage: Mary Tydings Smith of Easton, MD, Millard Tydings of Skillman, NJ, Emlen Tydings Gaudino of Palm Beach, Australia, and Eleanor Tydings Gollob of McLean, VA. In addition, he is survived by Alexandra Tydings Luzzatto of Washington, DC, the daughter of his second marriage. He is also survived by nine grandchildren: Benjamin Tydings Smith, Jill Campbell Gollob, Sam Ty- dings Gollob, Margaret Campbell Tydings; Jay Davies Gollob, William Davies Tydings, Ruby Anne Luzzatto, Emerson Almeida Luzzatto, and Maeve Chaim Luzzatto.


From Joe Davies Uncle Joe loved his foxhunting, and I remem- ber him telling me on a T anksgiving hunt several years ago that galloping into a fence on his favorite foxhunter, Highlander, was the only time when he completely let go of every worry or care that had been cluttering his mind - save getting over the looming obstacle in front of us. In all his years foxhunting, protected mostly by a bowler hat, the worst thing that he ever sustained were a few briar scratches. Joe also was a great timber racing enthusi-


ast, owning several nice horses, including 2013 Maryland Novice Timber Champion and 2014 Grand National winner Spencer Road. He was a wonderful father fi gure and sup-


porter of mine, and even joined the Motorcade trip to Cheltenham!


From Emily Ehrhorn, Humane Society of the U.S U.S. Senator Joseph Tydings was a giant in the halls of Congress and in the hearts of horse lovers everywhere. We mourn his passing while acknowledging the rich legacy he leaves on preventing cruelty to horses. Senator Tydings, the father of the federal Horse Protection Act, represented Maryland from 1965 to 1971. He also lobbied pro bono with us in recent years to pass the Prevent All Soring Tactics Act. I fondly recall his stories of the U.S. Senate and his experiences there. He was a larger than life
