How characterize who someone was? I found mention of him, anyhow,, here, not sure if that link will work. In some "Journals of the Arizona legislature" or such:
"The second Monday of January being the date prescribed by the Constitution of Arizona for the biennial meeting of the Legislature, the regular session of the Fifteenth Legislature commenced this day. / The Senate assembled in its chamber at the Capitol at 12 o'clock noon. Mr. James A. Harrison, a Senator-elect from Santa Cruz county, being in point of years the oldest Senator-elect called the Senate to order."
That's the whole snippet which I can see. --Doncram (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that is correct. The source is "Journals of the ... Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona". The cover page, when zoomed in is fuzzy, but "Journal of the Senate / Fifteenth Legislature of the State of Arizona / 1941 ". So he was a member of the 15th Arizona State Legislature, and, oh, indeed he is listed in that Wikipedia article, in the State Senate section as a redlink, James A. Harrison. Clicking on the redlink, I see there once was an article, because "00:49, 25 March 2012 Explicit talk contribs deleted page James A. Harrison (Expired PROD, concern was: Fails to satisfy WP:BIO.)" appears. I would suppose if he was a member of the senate in other years, their articles would have the same redlink, but "What links here" for the redlink only shows one Arizona-related article (the 15th Arizona State Legislature one). Indeed the 14th legislature (1939) article has E. F. Bohlinger as the senator for Santa Cruz County, and the 16th legislature (1943) has W. H. Hathaway. All members of the Senate and all members of the House of Representatives were with the Democratic party in those years, it appears. So looks like he was a senator for just one term.
From my internet browsing, there are some other James A. Harrison persons, presumably different, who were authors, including a James Albert Harrison. Like the article Simochromis about a species links to the James A. Harrison redlink, for an author of papers in biology. --Doncram (talk) 14:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
