when cause and man were crushed
with overwhelming defeat.
Four years later he again was
numbered with the supporters oil
Bryan and was chairman of the
State convention that elected del
egates to the Kansas City convsn-
ton, but did not himself go as a
delegate.
The recent gubernatorial cam-
paign In Kentucky, in many res
poets, was the most memorable in
which James had participated and
brought him more to the attention

minated by the Democrats for re.
election, looked upon James as his
right hand man, and togethey they
stumped every county of the state.
Even the Eleventh Congressional
district, the stronghold of Ken
lucky Republicans, was invaded,
and the nominal Republican vote
was reduced by fully 1000.
The result of November's cleo
tlon 1t is claimed, has placed Ken
lucky again securely in the Dem-
ocratlc column, and has reunited
the party, which since 1895 had
been torn by strife and faction
To James is assigned a liberal
share of credit for this result and
it is agreed in Kentucky that he
shall bs rewarded.
If the Democrats of the First
Kentucky district are possessed of
the wisdom, that induces other con
stituencies to keep able men in
Congress, until they have oppor-
tunity TO demonstrate their ability

dict brilliant career for him in

a brilliant talker, thinker and a
worker, and these elements in

JAMES-THOMAS.
Congressman James and Miss
Ruth Thomas Married.

Hon. O. NJ. James and Miss
Ruth Thomas were married We'd
nesday, at ii O'Clock, at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Rev.
r. Y. Thomas and wife.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Il. V. Joiner and was in
deed beautiful-the Episcopal SER
vice-being used. The wedding
march was played by Miss Phil
lips, of Bowling Green, KY,
cousin of the bride.
The immediate families of the
contracting parties were the only
guests. On account of a recent
bereavement in the family of the
groom the wedding was quiet
home wedding, and Immediately
afterwards they left for Washing
ton, so Mr.. James will be present
at the converting of Congress.
The bride was the recipient of
many, and costly, presents, from
her own and the friends of the
groom.
Presents were received from Mr.
James colleagues in Congress,
from the Kentucky u. s. Senators
and from Gov. Beckhsm and
State officials.

tic To- fizure that when the Chica-
90 convention that nominated
Bryan Was held in July, 1906, o.
lie James, who was born in July,
1871, WAS % years old. James was
a delegate to that convention, was
chairman OF the Kentucky delega-

of the committee on resolutions
helped write the Chicago platform
which revolutionized the Demo-

Mckinley President.
On that memorable day, when a
speech made a Presidential candi-
date, he fell under the spell of the
eloquence of the man who had
come out of the West, and with all
the ardor of youth lie enlisted
himself in the cause of William
Jennings Bryan. No man excell-
ed him in fervency of devotion to
the Nebraskan, and the party's

highly esteem his loyal Kentucky

young james among his closest
friends.
Throughout that campaign the

not without advantage to a politi-
clan.
1t has been said of Kentuckians
that they come into the world with
instinct for politics and love for
horses fully developed. Whether
or not this be true of James. his
political propensity began to man
fest itself at an early date. The
winter of 1887 found him, at the
age of 10 years, page in the Ken.
