Texans Allred Moody and O Danielle Governorship Routes
In Texas a gubernatorial arc links Allred Moody and O Daniel from early defeats to state office. Moody rose to attorney general and two terms as governor before retirement. Allred failed in 1926 then won 1930 and 1932 and 1934 primaries to secure the governorship. O Daniel wowed crowds with hillbilly campaigning, winning the 1938 race and 1940 reelection before pursuing the Senate. A separate Amarillo YMCA drive ends to avoid overlapping fundraising with the USO campaign, consolidating efforts and programs under one drive.
