Politician Murray’s 1920s Arc from Bolivia Colony to Oklahoma Governor
In 1924 Murray led an agrarian colonization attempt in Bolivia’s El Gran Chaco attracting seventy two families. The project failed as the government declared land deeds worthless. He returned to Oklahoma in 1929, won the governorship by a large margin, faced front page scrutiny as his father swore in the oath, used national guard to keep free bridges open, and ordered oil-well shutdowns to push prices up. He later pursued the Democratic presidential nomination.
