Ed Jackson, 80, Governor 1925-1929 Dies At His Home
Came From Poor Farm Boy To Politician of State Note
ORLEANS, Ind, - Ed Jackson, whose Republican administration as
governor ended the stormy Ku Klux Kan era in Indiana in 1925-29,
died at his country estate near here early Thursday. The 80-year-old
ex-governor, who had had been bedfast five years, died just a wek
after M. Clifford Townsend, Democratic governor in 1937-41. The only
three former governors left living ar Paul V. McNutt, 1933-37, now
under treatment for a throat ailment in New York; Hnery F. Schricker,
1941-45 and 1949-53; Knox, and Ralf F. Gates, 1945-49, Columbia
City. Jackson's second wife, Lydia Pierce Jackson, found her husband
dead in his bed about 7 a.m. in their big log home on their 100 acre
estate, Fairhill. The family physician said Jackson apparently died
about 2 a.m. paralyzed be a series of strokes during the last five
years. Funeral services were set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the Ochs
funeral home here, where the body will lie in state after Friday
noon. Burial will be in Green Hills Cemetery here. Jackson rose
from a poor farm boy who "read law" to a political career that ended
in the bitter aftermath of a bribery trial, while he was still
governor, in the dying days of the Ku Klux Klan. He himself was a
central figure in the era, one of the stormiest in Hoosier politics.
Gov. Jackson was indicted, along with D. C. Stephenson, Klan grand
dragon, and two other political associates, on charges of offering a
political bribe in 1923. But the judge ordered the jury to acquit
the governor in 1927 because time had run out for prosecution.
Stephenson had been sentenced to prison for life for murder two years
before. Jakcson finished his term as governor quietly, making few
public appearances, and he was never again active in politics. After
practicing law eight years in Indianapolis he and his second wife
moved to their Orange County estate, where he raised Black Angus
cattle. They built their home from the logs in an old West Baden
church. Jackson was born Dec. 27, 1873, on a Howard County farm,
one of the large family of Presley and Elizabeth Howell Jackson.
In Tipton County, where the family moved soon afterward, he worked
on the family farm and in a sawmill and studied nights to educate
himself. Jackson read law in the office of Judge L. B. Nash in
Tipton and started practicing at Kennard, paying 75 cents a month
for office space, after the family moved to Henry County. When
the law business was slack, he worked in a brickyard. His
political career started in 1900 when he was elected to the first
of his two terms as Henry County prosecutor. Later he was
appointed and then elected circuit judge. He ran for secretary of
state in 1914, and made it two years later. But after a year, when
World War I broke out, he entered the Army officer training school
at Fr. Benjamin Harrison. After commanding a training unit at
Purdue University, he came out of the war a major and practiced
law in Lafayette. When W. A. Roach, his successor as secretary of
state, died Gov. James P. Goodrich appointed Jackson to the office.
Jackson was elected to successive terms in the office in 1920 and
1922 before the 1924 Republican landslide put him in the governor's
office. During his last term as secretary of state Jackson got
hundreds of thousands of dallars in auto license fees refunded. He
led a court test that threw out a law which had increased the fees
as much as 300 per cent. He became a familiar figure in Indanapolis,
often waling the five miles from his home in Irvington to the
Statehouse. The first year of Jackson's term was comparitively
tranquil. He got the state-tax rate reduced from 30 cents to 22.
He expanded the state park system buying the first land for Dunes
Park on the shor of Lake Michigan and promoting the movement for the
George Rogers Clark Memorial at Vincennes. But the political storms
began gathering near the end of his first year as Stephenson was sent
to prison for the death of a woman employed in a statehouse office.
Jackson was in the cneter of a fight between Stephenson and Walter
Bossert, another Klan leader after the Klan ousted Stephenson. Three
successive grand juries investigated charges of high politcial
corruption for almost a year. Finally indictments were returned in
1927 agains Jackson; Robert I, marsh, Indianapolis lawyer and George
V. Coffin, then Marion County Republican chairman. Coffin had become
one of Jackson's closest political advisers after Stephenson was sent
to prison. The indictments accused them of offering a $10,000
political bribe in 1923 to Gov. Warren T. McCray in a political
tangle involving McCray and his son-in-law, William P. Evans. Evans
had resigned as Marion County prosecutor after McCray himself was
confronted with embezzlement charges. The indictments said McCray
was promised an acquittal as well as $10,000 if he would appoint
James E. McDonald as prosecutor to succeed Evans. Instead, McCray
named William H. Remy. McCray was sent to federal prison in Atlanta
on a mail fraud charge in 1924, eight months before the end of his
term as governor, and Lt. Gov. Emmett F. Branch took his place until
Jackson became Goveror. Jackson, an energetic speaker, once made 21
speeches in a single day in his 1924 campaign for governor. He often
spoke before church and religious groups. Jackson was first married
to Rosa Wilkinson, of Wilkinson, in Henry Coutny, in 1898. She died
in 1918 and he married his second wife in 1920. Also surviving are
two daughters, Miss Helen Jackson of West Lafayette and Mrs. Norman
Beatty, of Indianapolis, for whos husband the state hospital at
Westville was named. An adopted son, Edward Lane Jackson Jr., lives
in Glendale, Calif.; his parents were killed in a roof collapse in
the Knickerbocker Theater in Washington in 1922. Two surviving
stepdaughters are Mrs. Margaret Parker of Milwaukee, and Mrs.
Josephine Czenkush of Bartlesville, Okla.
