Researchers can look for topics in the Dispatch as a key to possible additional articles in its competitor, The Gazette and Daily.<br \/>\nHatch and co-author G.A. Mellander also traced county presidential voting patterns from the 1800s to 1968. They attacked conventional wisdom by concluding that York County voters avoided candidates from either extreme&#8230; .<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nExhibit A came in 1964 when the county heavily backed Democrat Lyndon Johnson vs. the perceived extremism of Republican Barry Goldwater, after backing GOP candidates in previous elections.<br \/>\nAfter the first switch of voting patterns from Federalism to anti-Federalism in the early 1800s because the former party reminded voters of King George III\u2019s policies, Hatch and Mellander wrote:<br \/>\n\u201cAnd this first reversal provides clues to York\u2019s voting trends from that time to present, because all future voting pattern changes would have essentially the same reason or characteristics behind them, namely, (1) a bent for practicality rather than dogma and (2) a penchant for moderation rather than excess. \u201c<br \/>\nThe authors quoted a local voter discussing the 1972 election: \u201cWe Yorkers like common sense in a President, and we like a man who won\u2019t go overboard in his policies.&#8221;<br \/>\nIt was refreshing to see an academic do so much for county-level historical research. Hatch was arguably academia\u2019s biggest direct contributor to the study of York County history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The York County historical community lost a major contributor with the death this week of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,14,7,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives-all-posts","category-books-reading","category-explanationscontroversy","category-people"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>York historical community will miss Carl Hatch - York Town Square<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/york-historical-community-will\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"York historical community will miss Carl Hatch - York Town Square\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The York County historical community lost a major contributor with the death this week of\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/yorkblog.com\/yorktownsquare\/york-historical-community-will\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"York Town Square\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2006-08-29T13:01:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jim McClure\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@JamesMcClure\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jim McClure\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/york-historical-community-will\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/york-historical-community-will\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jim McClure\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b48a19c4bb41c9ee494a3eb75485cdd0\"},\"headline\":\"York historical community will miss Carl Hatch\",\"datePublished\":\"2006-08-29T13:01:30+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/yorkblog.com\\\/yorktownsquare\\\/york-historical-community-will\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":291,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Archives, all posts\",\"Books &amp;
