description: "Thomas Clarke Rye was an American politician who served as the 32nd governor of Tennessee from 1915 to 1919. An ardent supporter of prohibition of alcoholic beverages, he helped reunify the state's Democratic Party, which had been divided over the \nissue for nearly a decade. Rye is perhaps best remembered for enacting the \"Ouster Law,\" which was aimed at curbing the power of political boss E. H. Crump."
