Faint cigarette odor to book which will fade with time. Binding is firm. With Foreword, eight unnumbered pages of b/w photographs, Critical Essay on Authorities, and Index. A quite uncommon book in which University of Mississippi Professor A. Wigfall Green examines the archetypal southern political demagogue - Poplarville, Mississippi politician Theodore Gilmore Bilbo (1877-1947). Certainly one of the vilest racists to hold national office, Bilbo vehemently advocated segregationist policies and ranted against fair employment legislation but otherwise adhered to a mostly liberal populist political platform. An ardent Democrat, Bilbo served as a state senator from 1908 to 1912, as lieutenant governor from 1912 to 1916, and as governor from 1916 to 1920 and again from 1928 to 1932. Bilbo was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1934, 1940, and again in 1946 although he did not serve his last term after the Senate refused to seat him. {MS_Shelf#7}.
