Thomas Clarke Rye
Thomas Clarke Rye (June 2, 1863September 12, 1953) was an American politician who served as Governor of Tennessee from 1915 to 1919. An ardent supporter of prohibition of alcoholic beverages, he helped reunify the state's Democratic Party, which had been divided over the
issue for nearly a decade. Rye is perhaps best remembered for enacting the "Ouster Law," which was aimed at curbing the power of political boss E. H. Crump.〔Anne-Leslie Owens, "(Thomas Clarke Rye )," ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009. Retrieved: 4 December 2012.〕
==Early life==
Rye was born in Benton County, Tennessee, the son of Wayne Rye, a merchant, and Elizabeth (Atchison) Rye. He was educated at local schools, and read law under his uncle, Colonel Tom Morris, in nearby Charlotte, Tennessee.〔 In 1884, after his admission to the bar, he moved to Camden, Tennessee, to practice law. During the 1890s, he served as circuit master of Camden's chancery court, and worked for several years as a pension agent in Washington, D. C.〔 In 1902, Rye moved to Paris, Tennessee, where he established a law partnership with W.W. Farquard.〔
Rye served as District Attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial District from 1910 to 1914.〔 He quickly gained a reputation as the state's most "stringent" law enforcement agent, and was described as a "terror to the bootleggers and dispensers of whisky."〔
