Claude Matthews Life story
Claude Matthews was the 23rd governor of the U. S. state of Indiana from 1893 to 1897. A farmer, he was nominated to prevent the loss of voters to the Populist Party. The Panic of 1893 occurred just before he took office, leading to severe economic problems during his term.
