Lesson Essential Question # 4 How did the political career of Eugene Talmadge impact Georgia?

Eugene Talmadge Eugene Talmadge served as governor of Georgia from 1933 to 1937 and again from 1941 to 1943. His personality and actions polarized voters into Talmadge and anti-Talmadge factions in the state’s one-party politics of that era. His death in 1946 touched off the unprecedented “three governors controversy.”

Eugene Talmadge Political figure that rose about the same time as FDR. Served 4 consecutive terms as Governor starting in 1932.

Eugene Talmadge Known as a tireless politician who gave fiery speeches and whose personality gave him the nickname “the wild man from Sugar Creek.” Appealed to farmers and took advantage of the county unit system.

Eugene Talmadge Opposed much of the New Deal Thought government should keep its hands OUT of state matters and refused to back any of Roosevelt’s policies Resulted in money from New Deal programs not reaching Georgia until Talmadge left office (1937) Despite this, because he preached white supremacy and related well to “country folk,” Talmadge became the most popular rural candidate since the days of Tom Watson

Eugene Talmadge Ran for 4th term as governor in 1942 and lost. Ran again in 1946 and was elected Promoting white supremacy Said “poor dirt farmers in Georgia ain’t got but three friends on this earth: God Almighty, Sears & Roebuck, and Gene Talmadge!” Strengthened racism in Georgia and reinforced the idea that the federal government was something for white Southerners to fear He died before he could take office (1946)

Three Governors Controversy (1946-1948) When Eugene Talmadge died shortly after being elected governor of Georgia, his supporters came up with a new plan allowing the legislature to elect his son, Herman, to fill the office. The newly elected Lt. Governor, Melvin Thompson, also claimed the office. The outgoing governor, Ellis Arnall, refused to leave the office.

Three Governors Controversy (1946-1948) The Georgia Supreme Court chose Melvin Thompson to fill the role until a special election could be held to decide the remainder of the term. Herman Talmadge easily won the special election and served as governor from 1948 – 1951. The controversy was a source of great embarrassment for business leaders of Georgia and our national reputation took yet another negative blow.
