OK I found the source of my confusion. I had read where he had ran twice. I thought it was 82 in the back of my mind. But while Jake was raising money for Tyree, his brother CH was raising money for Alexander. They played both sides. Investigation uncovered fraud by Butchers Like I said Knoxville politics was dirty. Alexander had a knack for magical deals himself in that era and following his term as governor.

I figured Tyree was a puppet. The Butchers would’ve been stupid (from a business perspective) not to hedge their bets. Tyree was not much of an opponent for Alexander as it turned out. I was never terribly enamored of Alexander, and I’d vote for anyone running against him in the primary. I personally hope he retires next year. President Fred can make him Ambassador to Botswana. We’ve had far too many grab-the-ankles Republicans in this state.
