This article profiles Governor-elect of Alabama James E. Folsom, six feet, eight inches tall and a vote-getting young politician. But whether Folsom will be a big man in other respects remains to be seen. Folsom believes he is just what the doctor ordered for Alabama. Without any show of conceit, he is quick to tell that it will take him only the first year or two of his four-year administration to bring peace, happiness and prosperity to every man, woman, and child in Alabama. This thirty-seven-year-old, Cullinan insurance salesman is the most confident governor-elect modern Alabama has ever known.
