Victor Murdock was born on March 18, 1871, inBurlingame, Kansas, to Marshall Murdock, editor of theOsage County Chronicle, and Victoria Mayberry Murdock. In 1872, the family moved to Wichita, where Murdock received his common school education and began learning the printing trade. At the age of 15, Murdock became a reporter. In 1890, he married Mary Pearl Allen and spent some time in Chicago, where he worked on theChicago Inter Ocean. From 1894 to 1903, he worked as the managing editor ofThe Wichita Eagle.^[1] In 1892, he reported on and future presidentWilliam McKinley's campaign for governor of Ohio.^[2]

Murdock was covering theKansas Legislature in 1903 when he decided to run for a vacancy in the United States House of Representatives and was elected to succeedChester I. Long, who had resigned to take a seat in theUnited States Senate. He took office on November 9, 1903.^[3] During the1912 United States presidential election, he left the Republican Party to support and join former PresidentTheodore Roosevelt'sProgressive Party and was the party's choice for Speaker of the House in1912. Murdock served in Congress until March 3, 1915.

He was elected as chairman of the Progressive Party in 1914 and 1916.^[4]^[5] In1916, when Theodore Roosevelt refused the party's nomination for president, the Progressive Party instead nominated Murdock, but he did not appear on the ballot. Murdock worked as a war correspondent in 1916, and in 1917, he was appointed to theFederal Trade Commission by PresidentWoodrow Wilson. Murdock served in that role until his resignation in 1924 to become the editor forThe Wichita Eagle, until his death in Wichita on July 8, 1945.^[6]
