fiogf49gjkf0d Actually Bobby you're close but there are a couple of things I need to point out:
W(ilbert) Lee O'Daniel was Governor of Texas from 1938 - 1942, then US Senator from 1942 - 1948. Prior to that he was affiliated with the Burrus Mills of Fort Worth, producers of Light Crust Flour. His group, the Light Crust Doughboys was formed in 1931 and included Milton Brown and Bob Wills.
One bit of trivia: While running for Governor in 1938, O'Daniel never made a campaign speech--he simply advertised where he and the Light Crust Doughboys would be appearing and at the end of his show would simply ask for the vote on Election Day.
O'Daniel was born March 11, 1890 and died May 11, 1969
