Coinciding Fate For Tuscaloosa Probate Post And Other Political Oddities
The piece analyzes a Tuscaloosa probate judge succession tied to Governor Brandon and Miller appointees, noting a 1936 general election as cutoff. It recalls a Michigan Supreme Court ruling in State v Lord about holding office until next general election. It also mentions postage stamp confusion with air mail, Tom Walker’s federal judgeship bid, Senator Wheeler’s opposition, and misc. political quips including DC license bureau practices and Vice President Garner’s speech requests.
