Political careerJames was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for Little Bow for the Alberta Liberal Party in a hotly contested race against popular southern Alberta merchant John T. McDonald in the 1913 Alberta general election. 1913 electionThe 1913 Little Bow election became bitter and scandal-plagued after campaign workers of Conservative rival John T. McDonald were arrested without charge and detained until after the election. The Calgary Herald claimed it was caused by "Siftonism" running rampant through the province. In that same election the Liberals were also accused of gerrymandering Little Bow to be very liberal-friendly. 1917 electionJames was easily re-elected in a landslide in the 1917 Alberta general election. H. Thomas of the Socialist Party was the only other candidate during the election. Turn out in Little Bow was at its lowest ever with only 35% of the population turning out.
