E.H. Crump: Boss of all Bosses

Turning west to Lamar in Memphis, Tennessee, the street is E.H. It became Crump Avenue. This is similar to the name of E.H. I know. Crep I never guess the meaning of this name in Memphis and the weight it has ever had. Only when I participated in the Tennessee History course, I realized how important the person behind the name is. Prior to Elvis press using rock music to map Memphis, Willy Hutton took office or various Memphis musicians claim "King of Memphis" and one person is undoubtly managing it It was. In the city, his name is Edward Herklup.

Edward Hull Clamp was born in Holy Springs, Michigan in 1874. He is the owner of the plantation and the son of a former federal official. Klep's father died of yellow fever immediately after birth, and Krup's growth was poor. As an ambitious 17-year old bookkeeper, he moved north to Memphis, married a wealthy businessman's daughter, and bought a carriage manufacturing company where he was working. In 1905, Businessman Krupp entered a political field as a candidate for the Chamber of Commerce, entered an efficient and progressive government, won the election, and then in 1909, as a mayor in the form of a government committee in the form of a government committee . His political success did not make a political speech

Built in 1901, this is North Memphis Savings Bank. However, in 1920, it was EH. It became the home of clamp insurance, where "boss" clamps dominated cities and states through his political machinery. This building currently has a Chamber of Commerce and City Center Committee. The relationship between Crump and Georgia Tann is not very friendly towards his legacy. George Anthan received strong protection because he illegally put the baby in the care facility at Memphis. These babies are often stolen. Ironically, the relationship between Krump and Georgia Tann still exists: 32 states still have birth certificates for adoption

On the commercial side, Krump turned to insurance and the Coca-Cola franchise became a millionaire. He left the municipal government for 10 years before returning to the municipal government as a political boss in 1927. In addition to Congressional words, he chose all his candidates. In 1932, his governor, Henry H. Horton won, and for the next 16 years, the clamps affected the results of state-wide elections. Klepp's heavy Shelby County voted for the administration of state elections because of the head-on tax that led to the low voter turnout rate in Tennessee
