He became a civil engineer and railway contractor, and sat on Williamstown Council. Styles applied unsuccessfully for the position of chairman of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works in 1891. Styles frequently clashed with the Board's chairman, Edmond Gerald FitzGibbon.[1] In 1894, Styles was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Williamstown, a position he held until 1900. In 1901, he was elected to the Australian Senate as a Protectionist Senator from Victoria. He held the seat until his defeat in 1906. Styles died in 1913.[2] References1. ^1 2 Geoff Browne, 'Styles, James (1841 - 1913)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Vol. 12, MUP, 1990, p. 133. {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Styles, James}}{{Australia-politician-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Carr |first=Adam |title=Australian Election Archive |work=Psephos, Adam Carr's Election Archive |url=http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/a/australia |year=2008 |accessdate=2008-11-10 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5QSilacl0?url=http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/a/australia |archivedate=20 July 2007 |df= }} 8 : Protectionist Party members of the Parliament of Australia|Members of the Australian Senate for Victoria|Members of the Australian Senate|Engineers from Melbourne|Victoria (Australia) state politicians|1841 births|1913 deaths|20th-century Australian politicians |
