Peter Beter
American lawyer / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter David Beter (June 21, 1921 – March 14, 1987[1][2]) was an American attorney[3] and financier.[4] He ran for governor of West Virginia in 1968 in the Republican Party primary[5] (although he was formerly a Democrat), but lost in the primaries to Cecil H. Underwood.[6] Politically, he was a staunch admirer of ex-Alabama governor George Wallace; Beter also drafted Wallace as the American Party candidate in 1973, but numerous Republicans opposed such efforts.[7] Nonetheless, he later became a member of his Draft-Wallace committee.[8]
