Nevada Governor and US Senator

In 1938 Carville was elected the new governor of his state. After a re-election in 1942, he was able to exercise this office between January 2, 1939 and July 24, 1945. This period was largely overshadowed by the events of World War II , to which the state of Nevada also had to contribute. Here, too, fuel and food were rationed and soldiers were drafted for the armed forces. The state's production was converted to armaments. As governor, Carville was responsible for keeping these operations running smoothly. On July 24, 1945, he moved up for the late James G. Scrugham as Class 1 Senator in Congress . He held this mandate until January 3, 1947. After he was not re-elected in 1946, his Senate seat went to George W. Malone of the Republican Party .

After the end of his political activities, Carville returned to practice as a lawyer in Reno. He died there on June 27, 1956. He was married to Irma M. Callahan, with whom he had three children.
