of correspondence files and general files including reports of Texas Governor

The records date from 1941 to 1948. Texas governors work with all state
agencies, with the judiciary, and with local and federal governments. Governors
make appointments to governing boards and fill some judicial and legislative
vacancies. Correspondents include the citizens of Texas and private
organizations as well. Issuing proclamations, deciding on clemency petitions,
and reviewing extradition orders are other facets of governors' duties
documented in governors' records. Notable subjects in Governor Stevenson's
records include Depression-era policies, the effects of World War II on Texas,
post-war employment of veterans, and employment of the physically
handicapped. |

The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state,
elected by the citizens every four years. The duties and responsibilities of
the governor include serving as commander-in-chief of the state's military
forces; convening special sessions of the legislature for specific purposes;
delivering to the legislature at the beginning of each regular session a report
on the condition of the state, an accounting of all public money under the
governor's control, a recommended biennial budget, an estimate of the amounts
of money required to be raised by taxation, and any recommendations he deems
necessary; signing or vetoing bills passed by the legislature; and executing
the laws of the state. The governor can grant reprieves and commutations of
punishment and pardons, upon the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, and revoke conditional pardons. He appoints numerous state officials
(with the consent of the Senate), fills vacancies in state and district offices
(except vacancies in the legislature), calls special elections to fill
vacancies in the legislature, fills vacancies in the United States Senate until
an election can be held, and serves as ex officio member of several state
boards.
The office of governor was first established by the Constitution of
1845 and superseded the office of president of the Republic of Texas. The
position now exists under authority of Article IV, Section 1 of the
Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 401. To be elected
governor, a person must be at least thirty years old, a United States citizen,
and a resident of Texas for at least five years preceding the election. In
1972, the term of office was extended from two to four years, effective in
1975. Since 1856 the governor has had the use of the Governor's Mansion.
In 1942 the Office of the Governor had less than 30 full-time
equivalent employees. The office was not formally organized into divisions or
departments.
Coke R. Stevenson Biographical Sketch
Coke Robert Stevenson was born in Mason County on March 20, 1888,
son of Robert Milton and Virginia Stevenson.
Stevenson received seven years of formal schooling and as a teenager
he went into the freight business. He studied history and bookkeeping, became a
janitor in the Junction State Bank, did its bookkeeping, and by the age of
twenty, he was a cashier. He studied law at night and passed the State Bar in
1913. He practiced law and organized the First National Bank in Junction,
serving as its president. He soon became involved in numerous small businesses
in Junction.
Stevenson served as the county attorney of Kimble County from 1914
to 1918 and as county judge from 1919 to 1921. In 1928 he was elected to the
Texas House of Representatives, serving from 1929 to 1939. He served as the
Speaker of the House from 1933 to 1937. In 1939 he was elected Lieutenant
Governor. He held that office until 1941.
Stevenson became governor when Governor W. Lee O'Daniel resigned in
1941 to enter the United States Senate. In 1942 Stevenson was elected governor
on his own. He was reelected in 1944. Some high points and issues of his
administration include a concern for soil conservation laws; the expansion of,
and a permanent financing policy for, the state highway system, an enlarged
building program at the University of Texas; and teacher salary increases. He
was against the centralization of governmental power, and he opposed some of
President Franklin Roosevelt's domestic policies. He emphasized conservative
financial policies, beginning his administration with a State Treasury deficit,
and ending with a surplus in the Treasury.
Stevenson ran for the U. S. Senate in 1948 and was defeated by
Lyndon B. Johnson by eighty-seven votes. This was a highly controversial race,
and the loss of it took Stevenson out of political life. He became disenchanted
with the Democratic Party and supported Republican presidents Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon.
Coke Stevenson married Fay Wright on December 24, 1912 and they had
one son. She died in January 1942. In 1954 he married a widow, Marguerite
(King) Heap and they had one daughter. Governor Stevenson died on June 28,
1975.
