- Augustus Owsley Stanley (May 21, 1867 – August 12, 1958) was the thirty-eighth governor of Kentucky. He also represented that state in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. His grandson, Owsley Stanley became a well-known LSD chemist during the hippie movement. From 1903 to 1915, Stanley represented Kentucky's 2nd congressional district in the House of Representatives, where he gained a reputation as a progressive reformer. Beginning in 1904, he called for an antitrust investigation of the American Tobacco Company, claiming they were a monopoly that drove down prices for the tobacco farmers of his district. As a result of his investigation, the Supreme Court of the United States broke up the American Tobacco Company in 1911. Stanley also chaired a committee that conducted an antitrust investigation of U.S. Steel, which brought him national acclaim. Many of his ideas were incorporated into the Clayton Antitrust Act. During an unsuccessful senatorial bid in 1914, Stanley assumed an anti-prohibition stance. This issue would dominate his political career for more than a decade and put him at odds with J. C. W. Beckham, the leader of the pro-temperance faction of the state's Democratic Party. In 1915, Stanley ran for governor, defeating his close friend, Edwin P. Morrow by just over 400 votes. It was the closest gubernatorial race in the state's history. Historian Lowell H. Harrison called Stanley's administration the apex of the Progressive Era in Kentucky. Among the reforms adopted during his tenure were a state antitrust law, a campaign finance reform law, and a workman's compensation law. Near the end of his term, Stanley became a candidate to succeed the recently-deceased senator Ollie M. James. Stanley was elected to James' seat, but accomplished little in his single term in the Senate. He lost his re-election bid to Frederic M. Sackett and never again held elected office. He died in Washington, D. C. on August 12, 1958.
