Daniel Dodge Frisbie (November 30, 1859 Middleburgh, Schoharie County, New York) - August 6, 1931 Middleburgh, Schoharie Co., NY) was an American newspaperman and politician.
Life
Frisbie attended Hartwick Seminary in Cooperstown, New York, and graduated from Cornell University. In 1882, he married Eleanor Manning, and they had three children.
In the 1880s, Frisbie purchased two local newspapers and opened two insurance companies. Later, he was president of the local railroad and utility company. In 1904, as the editor of the Schoharie Democratic-Republican, he was elected President of the Democratic New York State Editorial Association.
Frisbie was a member of the New York State Assembly (Schoharie Co.) in 1900, 1901, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. He was Minority Leader in 1901, 1909 and 1910; and Speaker in 1911.
During his speakership happened the last election of a U.S. Senator from New York by the State Legislature. Tammany Hall boss Charles F. Murphy wanted William F. Sheehan to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. Members of the State Legislature led by State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt successfully blocked Sheehan's election. After a three-month long deadlock, they compromised on James Aloysius O`Gorman. Shortly afterwards, the U.S. Constitution was amended, and henceforth U.S. Senators have been elected by the people.
