SCOPE AND CONTENT Joseph Cordell Carr served the people of Tennessee as Secretary of State and in

other capacities during his distinguished career. His papers, 1900-1980, reflect his professional and political activities as Secretary of State (1941-44; 1945-49; 1957-1977); president of the Young Democratic Clubs of America (1941-44; 1945-47); a leading member of the Tennessee Democratic Party; the Illustrious Potentate of the Al Menah Shrine Temple of Nashville (1955); and local charitable organizer.

Carr was born June 20, 1907, in Putnam County, Tennessee, the son of Sidney Forrest and Laura (Burton) Carr. Mr. Sidney Carr served Putnam County, Tennessee in the 61st General Assembly (1919-1921). Prior to his service in the legislature, Mr. Carr was employed as a clerk in the Tennessee Secretary of State’s Office for nine years. He also served as campaign manager for United States Congressman Cordell Hull.

Carr was educated in Nashville at Montgomery Bell Academy and the Peabody Demonstration School. His began his career in state government in 1923, serving as a page in the State Senate at age 16. For the next eighteen years, Carr served as assistant bill clerk, assistant chief clerk, and chief clerk of the House of Representatives.

In 1932, Joe Carr and other Tennessee Democrats founded the Young Democratic Clubs of Tennessee. Carr served as the organization’s first secretary, and in 1934 was elected State President. Carr became a leading party figure in Tennessee, participating in virtually every state and federal election until his retirement. In 1940, Carr served as Campaign Manager for the “Coalition Ticket,” composed of Prentice Cooper as Tennessee Governor, Kenneth McKellar as United States Senator and Porter Dunlap as Commissioner of Railroads and Public Utilities. The “Coalition Ticket” were essentially the chosen candidates of the Edward H. Crump political machine from Memphis, Tennessee.

Carr was elected Secretary of State by the 72nd General Assembly of the State of Tennessee in 1941, due largely to his involvement in State Democratic Party, and with the consent of “Boss” Edward H. Crump of Memphis. This would be a familiar office for Carr, as he would serve as Secretary of State for a total of 27 years, the longest term of office as Secretary of State in Tennessee history.

Also in 1941, Carr campaigned for and won the Presidency of the Young Democratic Clubs of America. Carr had previously served as the national secretary of the organization. He vigorously campaigned for this office, and was endorsed by all the Tennessee political elite: Governor Prentice Cooper, United States Senators Kenneth McKellar and Tom Stewart, and Memphis political boss Edward G. Crump. Within this collection, there are correspondences from these party leaders and others, on Carr’s behalf in this endeavor. Carr was elected President at the YDC’s biennial convention held in Louisville, Kentucky. This office of the Presidency of the Young Democratic Clubs of America gave Carr national prestige with the Democratic Party that would carry with him throughout his career.

In 1944, Carr volunteered to serve in the armed forces during the Second World War, even though he was granted a deferment from the military. He was inducted into the United States Army on May 12, 1944. Governor Prentice Cooper appointed Mrs.

6

Mary Carr to fill the unexpired term of office of her husband, thus becoming the first woman in Tennessee history to serve as a Constitutional officer. Mrs. Carr was reelected by the General Assembly as Secretary of State in January, 1945.

Carr was stationed during the war at Fort Myers, Virginia, and Fort Sam Houston, Texas, but most of his service was as a military policeman posted in Washington, DC at Union Station. For a time, he had patrol duties at the White House.

On his return from the Army in July, 1945, Gov. Jim Nance McCord appointed Joe Carr to the office of Secretary of State, succeeding his wife who had resigned on August 1. In January, 1947, the 74th General Assembly reelected Carr to another term as Secretary of State.

In 1948, Tennessee witnessed one of the most brutal gubernatorial elections in its history. Incumbent Governor Jim Nance McCord of Lewisburg, Tenn. was contested by former Governor Gordon Browning of McKenzie, Tennessee. Browning represented the anti-Crump movement, while McCord, Senator McKellar and Joe Carr were allied with the “Red Snapper” of Memphis. This collection contains a great deal of correspondence and ephemera related to this important election. Browning’s campaign gained political mileage by criticizing the McCord Administration’s passage of a two-cent sales tax to fund public education in the state, and McCord’s support of the “Open Shop” or “Right-to-Work” laws in Tennessee. Also, the armed forces veterans of Tennessee from the Second World War were fatigued of the Crump political machine in the state, and were anxious for new reforms in state government as well as in the established political system. As a result, McCord was defeated for a third term of office, and with the success of the Browning team, Carr lost his position as Secretary of State.

With the loss of his position as Secretary of State, Carr found himself without employment and outside the political realm for the first time in his career. He entered insurance underwriting school in Hartford, Connecticut in 1949, and upon receiving his certification, opened an insurance business in Nashville. But, Carr’s heart remained in politics. In 1952, Carr reentered the political arena as a advisor and staff member for the Frank G. Clement campaign for governor. Frank Clement represented a new, fresh political face in Tennessee politics, and was popular with those who were tired of the Browning Administration and politics of old. Carr remained active in Democratic politics in both national and state elections throughout the remainder of his life.

In 1953, Carr was reelected Chief Clerk of the Tennessee House of Representatives, partly due to his efforts in the Clement Campaign for Governor. He most likely would have been reelected to another term as Secretary of State, however, Governor Clement awarded that position to his close political ally, G. Edward Friar of Knox County. Carr was elected state treasurer of the Tennessee Democratic Party in 1954. In the gubernatorial primary of 1958, Edward Friar chose to campaign for Governor, and retired from his office as Secretary of State when his term ended in January, 1957. Carr was again reelected in this office by the General Assembly. Friar failed in his efforts to secure the party nomination; the party nominee was Buford Ellington, who was elected Governor in the general election of 1958.

Tennessee had long failed in its duty to reapportion the State Legislature. The previous legislative reapportionment in the state had been in 1901, maintaining a political

7

base centered in the rural areas of Tennessee. The League of Women Voters led an effort through the courts to force the General Assembly to carry out reapportionment according to the census. This resulted in the landmark case of Baker vs. Carr, which was decided by the United States Supreme Court on March 26, 1962. Charles W. Baker, on behalf of the League of Women’s Voters, sued the State of Tennessee, claiming violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, in regards to the reapportionment of the Legislature. Carr was named defendant in this case, due to the responsibility of the Secretary of State as the state’s election officer. The decision, in favor of the plaintiff, led to some of the most important changes in the political makeup of the General Assembly in the state’s history. The power of the legislature changed from a predominantly rural legislature, to the urban state legislators.

After serving for twenty years since his political “revival,” Joe Carr retired from the office of Secretary of State in January, 1977. The General Assembly and Gov. Ray Blanton honored Carr for his many years of service to Tennessee by placing a bronze bust of him in the Tennessee State Capitol. Mr. Carr remains the first and only living Tennessean to be so honored. Carr was succeeded as Secretary of State by Gentry Crowell of Lebanon, Tennessee.

After leaving office, Carr remained active in community and charity events. A baseball enthusiast, he was hired by the management of the Nashville Sounds Baseball Club, serving as its’ Director of Sales and Public Relations for a brief period. He became ill in early 1980’s, and died of cancer on October 12, 1981. Mrs. Carr outlived her husband by several years; she passed away on May 28, 1988. Both are interred at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee.

Few people experienced Tennessee politics like Joe C. Carr. This collection of his papers and memorabilia is a rich legacy for the student of Tennessee history and politics during the twentieth century. Due to the scope of his career, Mr. Carr’s collection is divided among seven series: Series 1 contains Carr’s personal papers and Secretary of State records. Series 2 contain correspondences and documents relative to the Democratic Party. Mr. Carr’s involvement with the National Association of Secretaries of State are documented in Series 3. Series 4 contain documents relating to Carr’s involvement with the Al Menah Shine in Nashville, where he served as Illustrious Potentate. The papers and correspondences of Joe Carr and the Young Democratic Clubs of America are found in Series 5. Series 6 contains oversized photographs, certificates and other materials. Series 7 are photograph negatives and audio recordings; this series is located in the environmentally-controlled vault of the Tennessee State Library & Archives.

There are many significant photographs in this collection. Among these are autographed personal photographs from many politicians and party leaders. Noteworthy are signed portraits from U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson; Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey; Tennessee Governors Frank G. Clement, Jim Nance McCord, and Buford Ellington; Democratic National Committee Chairman Edwin Pauley, Edward J. Flynn and James A. Farley. Other interesting photographs include:

Also of interest to the researcher is the numerous state agency records relative to the Secretary of State’s Office. These records are available on microfilm in the holdings of the State Library and Archives. TSLA Record Group #68: Secretary of State, 1866-1976, relate to the many administrations of Joe C. Carr as Secretary of State.
