Malcolm r, Patterson, of Memphis,
governor-elect was born in Somerville,
Ala, on June Z, 1861, and is, therefore,
in his 4Gth year. He is a son of the
late Col. Josiah Patterson. With his
parents he moved to this state soon
after the close of the war between the
states, and has been resident of Mem-
phis continuously since that time.
Mr. Patterson graduated from the
Christian Brothers College, Memphis,
subsequently took the literary course
at Vanderbilt University, being mem
ber of the classs of '92. After gradu-
ating from Vanderbilt, Mr.. Patterson
read law in his fathers Office, and was
admitted to the bar in 1888. In 1884
he was nominated for the legislature
by the Democrats, but was defeated.
When only 33 years of age Mr.. Pat
terson, in 1894, was elected attorney
general of Shelby county, In which Ca
pacity he served for six years, resign
ing in 1900 to accept the Democratic
nomination for congress in the Tenth
district.
Patterson's election to congress from
the Tenth district in 1900 was one of
the most remark rkable political victories
in the history of the state. When he
entered the contest for the nomination
be was unknown to all but few of the
voters in the counties outside of Shell
by. A convention was ordered, and at
that time the vote of the three country
countiea, Hardeman, Fayette and Tip.
ton, was larger than the vote of Shelby
county, therefore an effort was made
to nominate candidate from one OF
these counties, the district having been
represented by Memphian for nearly
twenty years.
Mr.. Patterson carried his own county
with ont contest, butt order to OBJ
tain the nomination it was necessary
that he carry one of the other counties.
He selected Fayette for the battle.
ground, and although the forces of the
opposition were well organized, be
made personal appeal to the voters in
nearly every district with the result
that he carried the county by an over
wheIming majority, and his nomina-
tion followed as a matter of course.
The governor e. ect entered the house
of representatives in 1901. He was re
nominated in 1902 and 1904 without OPP
position, and elected each time by an
increased majority. AS member OF
congress- he made several speeches
that attracted attention, notably his
criticism of the Philippine policy OF
the republican party and his discussion
of the race question.
