About the 1933 governor elections

Franklin D. Roosevelt's first year in office brought the Hundred Days, the bank holiday and a flood of New Deal programs. In December 1933 the Twenty-first Amendment repealed national Prohibition. Virginia was the only state to choose a governor that fall. Democrat George C. Peery beat Fred W. McWane by about 50 points. Peery, a former congressman from southwest Virginia, was the candidate of Harry F. Byrd's Democratic organization, which controlled state politics through the primary and a small electorate kept down by the poll tax. The result was typical of Virginia in this period, where the general election offered little real competition and the Byrd organization chose governors in advance. Peery's term coincided with the early New Deal, which the Byrd organization viewed with suspicion.
