Gordon Weaver Browning (1895-1976). He was an American politician who represented Tennessee in the United States Congress and was later Governor of Tennessee from 1937 to 1939 and again from 1949 to 1953. Running for Congress in 1922 he was successful, serving six terms in that body. In his final term he was selected to be one of the "managers" (prosecutors) in the Senate impeachment trial of harold Louderback, judge of the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California. When Memphis political "boss" E. H. Crump had a falling out with Governor Hill McAlister, McAlister decided not to run for a third term, and Browning became Crump's chosen candidate to succeed him. Browning received the Democratic nomination for governor in August, 1936, then tantamount to electoral success when campaigning for statewide office in Tennessee. He coasted to election in November of that year. However, Browning and Crump came to a parting of the ways shortly after Browning's inauguration as governor. Crump threw his support to newly-elected state senator Prentice Cooper, who defeated Browning for renomination in August, 1938. He would run again successfully for Governor in 1948. His signature, as Governor, on a card with a 1 cent Franklin stamp postmarked at Nashville. Certificate of Authenticity from Pages of History provides a lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
