词条 | Martin McNulty Crane |
释义 |
Politically, Crane sympathized with the beleaguered North Texas farmers. In 1884, he was elected to the Nineteenth State Legislature and supported programs put forth by the Farmer’s Alliance. In 1890, Crane was elected to the Texas State Senate.[1] In 1892, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas. In 1894, he resigned this office to successfully seek election as Texas Attorney General.[2] He further distinguished himself over the next four years, by as Attorney General, successfully, arguing a number of precedent setting antitrust cases. During his legislative, executive and prosecutorial career, he sought to curb the then unregulated powers of the railroads, oil companies and mercantile banks, which were anathema to the interests of Texas farmers. He was a staunch supporter of the reform efforts of Texas governors James S. Hogg and Charles A. Culberson. In 1917, Crane served as the chief prosecuting counsel for the successful impeachment of Texas Governor James E. Ferguson. In the 1920s, Crane headed the Dallas County Citizens League, which had been established to oppose the growing political influence of the Ku Klux Klan. Crane died in 1943 at age 88, after a short illness.[3][4] References1. ^1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=XFYHAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA382&dq=jennie+mcnulty&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CE8Q6AEwCTg8ahUKEwi5v6HGrsXHAhXNMYgKHZj7CVo#v=onepage&q=jennie%20mcnulty&f=false] A memorial and biographical history of Johnson and Hill counties Publisher: Рипол Классик, pp. 382-383 {{ISBN|9785872215783}} {{S-start}}{{s-legal}}{{succession box | title=Attorney General of Texas | before=Charles Allen Culberson | after=Thomas Slater Smith| years= 1894–1898 }}{{Succession box2. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=OlIlod0IyTkC&pg=PA562&lpg=PA562&dq=thomas+francis+mcnulty+baltimore+b.+1906&source=bl&ots=jUIIuf2PR-&sig=WYT568G8zXKDX-1DhOyB4YxSry8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAzgKahUKEwi1s8fDhOjHAhXBM4gKHVxPAeA#v=onepage&q=thomas%20francis%20mcnulty%20baltimore%20b.%201906&f=false] Who’s Who in America (Vol. 9) 1916-1917 © 1916 Chicago: A.M.
