J. Waddy Tate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

J. Waddy Tate (c. 1871 - January 1938) was the mayor of Dallas, Texas from 1929 to 1931.

In a brief obituary note, Time noted: "In the 1927 mayoralty campaign, Tate wore blue overalls, carried a fishing rod, lost; but two years later he spent only $218 campaigning, bought frankfurters for 10,000 voters, won hands down." [1]
