Eugene Talmadge
Eugene Talmadge (September 23, 1884 – December 21, 1946) was a Democratic politician who served two terms as the 67th Governor of Georgia from 1933 to 1937, and a third term from 1941 to 1943. Elected to a fourth term in November 1946, he died before his (January 1947) inauguration. To date only Joe Brown and Eugene Talmadge have been elected four times as Governor of Georgia.
==Early career==
Talmadge was born in 1884 in Forsyth, Georgia, to Thomas and Carrie (Roberts) Talmadge.〔William Anderson, ''The Wild Man from Sugar Creek'' (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University, 1975) p. 6.〕 He went to the University of Georgia and graduated from the university's law school. While at UGA, he was a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society and Sigma Nu fraternity. Talmadge set up offices in Telfair County, Georgia, and twice ran for the Georgia state legislature. He lost both times. He was elected state agriculture commissioner in 1926.〔William Anderson, ''The Wild Man from Sugar Creek'', pp. 48-49.〕 Talmadge was re-elected commissioner in 1928〔William Anderson, ''The wild Man from Sugar Creek'', p. 52.〕 and again in 1930.〔William Anderson, ''The Wild Man from Sugar Creek'', p. 56.〕
As commissioner, Talmadge used the newspaper of his department to give advice to farmers and talk about his political views, extolling the virtues of a laissez-faire economic policy and individual action to improve the well-being of farmers.〔 During his time as agriculture commissioner, Talmadge also developed a reputation for being a corrupt, freewheeling individual who disregarded standard ethics and played by his own set of rules.〔 Nevertheless, he maintained widespread support among Georgia's rural community.〔 He was also an "admitted flogger and racial demagogue who presided over a Klan-ridden regime".
The State Senate concluded that Talmadge violated a state law requiring that fertilizer fees collected by the department be deposited in the state treasury.〔 He also was criticized for his paying himself and family members more than $40,000 in salaries and expenses and using department funds to make trips to the Kentucky Derby.〔(Eugene Talmadge (1884-1946) | New Georgia Encyclopedia )〕 Accused of "stealing" $20,000 in order to raise the price of hogs, Talmadge told one group of farmers, "Sure, I stole it! But I stole it for you."〔''Current Biography 1941'', pp 850-52〕 The State House declined requests to impeach Talmadge but agreed to sue him to recover state funds spent on the hog price manipulation scheme.〔 When Governor Richard B. Russell Jr. referred the suit to the state attorney general, however, the request to sue Talmadge was rejected.〔
