Charles

Allen Culberson (June

10, 1855 – March 19, 1925) was an American political figure and Democrat who

served as the 21st Governor of Texas from

1895 to 1899, and as a United States Senator from Texas from

1899 to 1923. Culberson was born to Democratic politician David Browning Culberson and

Eugenia Culberson and on June 10, 1855 in Dadeville, Alabama.

Culberson's family moved to Texas in 1856, settling first in Gilmer and later in Jefferson. Culberson attended Virginia Military

Institute, graduating in 1874, and subsequently studied law at

the University of and 1877. In 1877 he was admitted to the bar in Daingerfield, Texas, and

commenced practice in Jefferson, later moving to Dallas in 1887. Culberson's political career began with

his election as Attorney General of Texas in

1890, a position he held until 1895, after campaigning for and winning the

governor's race in November 1894. After two terms as governor, he was elected

to the U.S. 25, 1899. Early during his tenure, he served on the Lodge Committee investigating war crimes in the Philippine–American War.

Later, he chaired several senate committees, including the judiciary committee, which

he chaired from 1913 to 1919. Culberson was opposed to demands for racial equality, stating that efforts to do so would lead to

the "consequent debasement, degradation or destruction of the white race". Culberson

was reelected in 1905, 1911, and, again, by popular vote in 1916, when health

problems and alcoholism prevented him from

campaigning in Texas but did not prevent his reelection. However, his health

and opposition to the Ku Klux Klan finally

led to the loss of his seat in the Democratic primary in 1922. He

was succeeded by fellow Democrat Earle Bradford Mayfield, the outgoing member of the Texas Railroad Commission.

Mayfield won a two-to-one general election victory over Peddy, a former state representative from Shelby County. Culberson

lived in retirement until his death from pneumonia in Washington, D.C. on March 19, 1925. He is buried in East

Oakwood Cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas. Culberson was a distant cousin of John Culberson, who represented Texas' 7th congressional

district between 2001 to 2019.
