"Alfalfa Bill" Nickname of Governor Murray


"Worst Hard Time" page 108: "He was known as "Alfalfa Bill" for his ceaseless advocacy of agricultures as the cornerstorne of society. Alfalfa Bill said anything could grow in Oklahoma."

Nicknames galore....according to Political Graveyard, Murray had a variety to choose from.... "also known as William H. Murray; "Alfalfa Bill"; "Cocklebur Bill"; "Bolivia Bill"; "The Sage of Tishomingo""

...Cocklebur...who knows why that reminds me of the Kookaburra song. ha
