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

This guy was the governor of Texas. Among other things, he wrote a song about the State for his gubernatorial campaign, "Beautiful, Beautiful Texas." His term in office was back in the forties. He was dead by the '70's or 80's. He worked for a feed company. His campaign slogan was, "Pass the biscuits, Pappy." His nick-name was Pappy O'Daniel. He wasn't our best governor, but he was one of my favorite governors. You can correct this by looking him up on the internet. He is a lot of fun.
