From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Horace James (July 14, 1883–April 27, 1973) was an American politician. He served as the governor of Pennsylvania from 1939 until 1943.
He was elected governor as a Republican when the democratic machine (led by Senator Joe Guffey) decided not to support the popular democratic Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy, who was a close associate of mine workers union head John Lewis.
