Texas history – Mayfield

[edit]

In 1922, Earle B. Mayfield, born in Overton, Texas, became the first member of the Ku Klux Klan to be elected to the United States Senate.[1] He resided in Tyler from 1931 until his death.


In 1923, Earle B. Mayfield of Tyler, Texas, with the support of a resurgent Ku Klux Klan, elected U.S. Senator during the General Election of November 7, 1922, for the beginning term, March 4, 1923. His seat was contested by his chief opponent, George E. B. Peddy and an investigation was authorized by U.S. Senate Resolution 97.

Allison Mayfield, Earle's brother, was the Texas Railroad Commissioner from January 5, 1897, to January 23, 1923.[2]

Billie Mayfield

[edit]

Col. Billie Mayfield ( William Nicholas Mayfield II; 1875–1963); beginning around 1942, Mayfield was editor of the Coleman County Chronicle, while Milton Robert Autry (1915–1998) served in the Armed Forces. Roy Allen Autry, Sr. (1892–1965) was owner-manager. Mayfield resigned January 1, 1943.





From Cameron's dissertation: "former colonel in the Texas National Guard, filled his paper with religious and racial bigotry and targeted African Americans, Mexican Americans, Catholics, Jews, and Anglos who did not conform to Klan ideals.31 It was through the pages of Colonel Mayfield’s Weekly that the Klan’s push for political dominance became entangled in white Houston Baptists’ role as the custodians of morality in the city."




  • Colonel Mayfield's Weekly, Houston, 1921–1925. Billie Mayfield, Jr. (ed.) LCCN sn86089397, OCLC 14291433 (all editions). (Mayfield was publisher from inception until he sold it to Charles K. Diggs of San Antonio in September 1924). Also a member from San Antonio was Charles K. Diggs, publisher of the weekly Klan paper American Forum, who purchased Colonel Mayfield’s Weekly from Houstonian Billie Mayfield, a veteran of World War I and the Spanish-American War.
