Biographical Facts From Forsyth, Georgia Went to UGA Farmer, lawyer, and sawmill owner

Political Career Compared to Tom Watson – Also a conservative White Supremacist Served as Commissioner of Agriculture for THREE terms Elected as Georgia Governor: – 1933 – 1934 – 1940 Ran for Senate in 1936, but lost

Oppositions/Controversial Actions He was against the New Deal, specifically relief like public welfare and federal assistance programs. Used more federal $ for highways than the unemployed Fired those who disagreed with him and replaced them with supporters Refused to follow the New Deal programs, so it was taken over by the federal government Used martial law against millworkers on strike Fired UGA officials who wanted to integrate the university

Impact on Georgia Talmadge’s fierce opposition slowed Georgia’s participation in the New Deal programs His white supremacist ideals tightened Georgia’s hold on segregation

Three Governor Controversy In 1946, Eugene Talmadge won re-election, but died before entering the office. An embarrassing situation for Georgia ensued. 1.Governor #1: Talmadge supporters wanted Herman Talmadge, Eugene’s son to take his place. 2.Governor #2: Melvin Thompson was elected Lt. Governor, but this was the first time had elected a Lt. Governor and the new constitution was not clear if the Lt. Governor would replace the Governor (he was a member of the anti-Talmadge camp) 3.Governor #3: The outgoing governor Ellis Arnall refused to leave office until it was clear who was to be Governor.

Conclusion The Supreme Court decided the Lt. Governor Thompson was the acting Governor until a special election could be held in 1948 to decide who would hold office for the remainder of the original term.. After Herman Talmadge's easy victory over Thompson in 1948, no avowed member of that party ever occupied the governor's office again.
