Hide Profile
During the 1946 Texas Gubernatorial election, the Democratic Party was sharply divided between moderate and more liberal factions.
Governor Coke R. Stevenson (1888-1975) postponed announcing his decision not to run for another term in an effort to discourage other contenders and to help the more moderate candidate Beauford H. Jester (1893-1949) defeat his opponent Homer Price Rainey (1896-1985) in the democratic primary runoff election. After winning the democratic primary, Jester defeated Republican nominee Eugene Nolte, Jr. (b. 1903) in the general election, becoming the 36th Governor of Texas.
