David G. James with Suffragists
Image
Former Wisconsin State Senator David G. James, Republican from Richland Center (1908-1912) and the father of suffragist Ada James. The photograph was likely taken June 13, 1919 after James delivered Wisconsin's ratification of the 19th Amendment in Washington, DC. James is surrounded by suffragists at the National Woman's Party headquarters building at 14 Jackson Place. The document he is holding is his appointment by Governor Philipp as Special Courier to deliver the ratification.
