Eldon Steven Dummit (August 6, 1896 – May 4, 1973)[1] was an American politician and attorney from Kentucky. He served as the 34th Attorney General of Kentucky and was the Republican nominee for Governor of Kentucky in 1947.

Early life and education

Dummit was born and raised on a farm in southwest Missouri. He graduated from high school in Monett, Missouri before attending Drury College in Springfield, Missouri. He earned a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Kentucky College of Law.[2]

Career

After graduating from law school, Dummit worked as a legal instructor at the University of Tennessee College of Law. In 1921, he established a legal practice in Lexington, Kentucky. A member of the Republican Party of Kentucky, Dummit served as the 34th Attorney General of Kentucky from 1944 to 1948.[3][4]

1947 gubernatorial election

Main article: 1947 Kentucky gubernatorial election

Dummit was nominated to succeed Simeon Willis, the last Republican governor of Kentucky since Flem D. Sampson. Dummit's opponent in 1947 was Earle Clements, a former member of the Kentucky House of Representatives who was then representing Kentucky in the United States House of Representatives. Dummit was also the last Republican to be the Attorney General of Kentucky until Daniel Cameron, the state's first African American attorney general, was elected in 2019.[5]

Clements defeated Dummit, taking 387,795 votes (57.4%) to Dummit's 287,756 (42.6%). Clements went on to serve in the United States Senate after serving as governor, and Kentucky did not elect another Republican governor until Louie Nunn in 1967.

Displacement (fluid)

Fluid displaced when an object is immersed in it Measurement of volume by displacement, (a) before and (b) after an object has been submerged. The amount by which the liquid rises in the cylinder (∆V) is equal to the volume of the object. In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is largely immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place. The volume of the fluid displaced can then be measured, and from this, the volume of the immersed object can be deduced: ...
