  • James Bennett McCreary (July 8, 1838 – October 8, 1918) was an American lawyer and politician from Kentucky. He represented the state in both houses of the U.S. Congress and served as its 27th and 37th governor. Shortly after graduating from law school, he was commissioned as the only major in the 11th Kentucky Cavalry, serving under Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan during the American Civil War. He returned to his legal practice after the war. In 1869, he was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives where he served until 1875; he was twice chosen Speaker of the House. At their 1875 nominating convention, state Democrats chose McCreary as their nominee for governor, and he won an easy victory over Republican John Marshall Harlan. With the state still feeling the effects of the Panic of 1873, most of McCreary's actions as governor were aimed at easing the plight of the state's poor farmers. In 1884, McCreary was elected to the first of six consecutive terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a legislator, he was an advocate of free silver and a champion of the state's agricultural interests. After two failed bids for election to the Senate, McCreary secured the support of Governor J. C. W. Beckham, and in 1902, the General Assembly elected him to the Senate. He served one largely undistinguished term, and Beckham then successfully challenged him for his Senate seat in 1908. The divide between McCreary and Beckham was short-lived, however, and Beckham supported McCreary's election to a second term as governor in 1911. Campaigning on a platform of progressive reforms, McCreary defeated Republican Edward C. O'Rear in the general election. During this second term, he became the first inhabitant of the state's second (and current) governor's mansion; he is also the only governor to have inhabited both the old and new mansions. During his second term, he succeeded in convincing the legislature to make women eligible to vote in school board elections, to mandate direct primary elections, to create a state public utilities commission, and to allow the state's counties to hold local option elections to decide whether or not to adopt prohibition. He also realized substantial increases in education spending and won passage of reforms such as a mandatory school attendance law, but was unable to secure passage of laws restricting lobbying in the legislative chambers and providing for a workers' compensation program. McCreary was one of five commissioners charged with overseeing construction of the new governor's mansion and exerted considerable influence on the construction plans. His term expired in 1915, and he died three years later. McCreary County was formed during McCreary's second term in office and was named in his honor. (en)

  • ジェイムズ・ベネット・マクリアリー（英: James Bennett McCreary、1838年7月8日 - 1918年10月8日）は、19世紀後半から20世紀初めのアメリカ合衆国ケンタッキー州出身の政治家、弁護士である。ケンタッキー州を代表してアメリカ合衆国議会上下両院の議員となり、1875年から1879年まで第27代、1911年から1915年まで第37代と2回ケンタッキー州知事を務めた。 マクリアリーは法学校を卒業した直後に、南北戦争で南軍のジョン・ハント・モーガン准将に仕え、ケンタッキー第11騎兵隊唯一の少佐となった。戦後は法律実務に戻った。1869年、ケンタッキー州下院議員に選ばれ、1875年まで務めた、下院議長には2回選ばれた。1875年、ケンタッキー州民主党の指名大会でマクリアリーを知事候補に選出した。知事選挙ではマクリアリーが共和党の対抗馬ジョン・マーシャル・ハーランに対し、楽勝で当選した。この時期は州内で1873年恐慌の影響が残っている時であり、知事としての行動の大半は州内の貧しい農夫の苦境を救済することに当てられた。 1884年、マクリアリーはアメリカ合衆国下院議員に選出され、以後6期（12年間）連続して務めた。この時代は自由銀を提唱し、州の農業に関する利権を擁護する者だった。アメリカ合衆国上院議員になるチャンスを2回逃した後、州知事J・C・W・ベッカムの支持を得て、1902年に州議会でアメリカ合衆国上院議員に選ばれた。この上院議員の任期6年間はあまり傑出した業績を残せず、再選を狙った1908年にはベッカムが離反したために落選した。しかし、マクリアリーとベッカムの不仲は長くは続かず、1911年にマクリアリーがケンタッキー州知事として2期目を求めた時には、ベッカムの支持を得ることができた。 1911年州知事選挙で、マクリアリーは進歩主義の綱領で選挙運動を行い、共和党のエドワード・C・オリアを破った。この2期目では、2代目となった州知事公舎の最初の住人となった。また旧公舎と新公舎の双方に住んだ唯一の知事となった。教育委員会の委員を選ぶ選挙では、議会を説得して女性の参政権を認めさせた。直接予備選挙を義務づけ、州の公共事業委員会を創設し、州内の郡には禁酒法を採用するか否かを住民投票で独自に判断できるようにした。教育費予算をかなり増加させ、義務教育法のような改革を成立させたが、議会におけるロビー活動を規制する法や、労働者の災害補償を行う法は成立させられなかった。州知事公舎の新築を監督する5人委員会の1人となり、その建設計画にかなりの影響力を行使した。知事の任期は1916年に明け、その2年後に死んだ。2期目の間に創設されたマクリアリィ郡は、マクリアリーの栄誉を称えて名付けられた。 (ja)
  • James Bennett McCreary (8 de julho de 1838 — 8 de outubro de 1918) foi um advogado e político norte-americano, foi o 27º e 37º governador do estado do Kentucky. Ele representou o estado em ambas as câmaras do Congresso dos Estados Unidos. Logo após se formar na faculdade de direito, ele foi designado como major da cavalaria do 11º distrito do Kentucky, servindo sob o comando do confederado Brigadeiro-General John Hunt Morgan durante a Guerra Civil americana. Ele voltou para a advocacia após a guerra. Em 1869, foi eleito para a câmara de Kentucky onde permaneceu até 1875. Foi eleito duas vezes presidente da câmara. Em 1875 na convenção de nomeação os democratas do estado escolheram McCreary como seu candidato a governador, tendo conquistado uma vitória fácil sobre o republicano John Marshall Harlan. Com o estado, ainda sentindo os efeitos da crise financeira de 1873, a maioria das ações do McCreary como governador foram destinadas a aliviar o sofrimento dos pobres do estado. Em 1884 McCreary foi eleito para o primeiro de seis mandatos consecutivos na Câmara dos representantes dos EUA. Como legislador, ele foi um defensor da "prata livre" (cunhagem livre de moedas de prata) e defensor dos interesses agrícolas do estado. Após duas tentativas sem êxito para a eleição ao Senado, McCreary garantiu o apoio do governador J. C. W. Beckham, então em 1902, a Assembleia Geral elegeu-o para o Senado. Ele fez um mandato extremamente medíocre e Beckham disputou e venceu dele para uma vaga no senado em 1908. A divisão entre McCreary e Beckham foi curta, tendo Beckham apoiado a eleição do McCreary para um segundo mandato como governador em 1911. Em uma campanha com plataforma de reformas progressivas, McCreary derrotou o republicano Edward C. O'Rear na eleição geral. Durante este segundo mandato, ele foi o primeiro residente da segunda (e atual) mansão de Governador. Ele também foi o único governador que ocupou tanto a antiga como nova residência. Durante seu segundo mandato, ele conseguiu convencer o legislativo para permitir as mulheres de votarem nas eleições da junta colegiada, ao mandato direto em eleições primárias; para criar uma Comissão de serviços públicos do Estado e também para permitir aos condados do estado realizarem eleições locais para optarem se aceitavam ou não manter proibição. Ele também realizou aumentos substanciais nos gastos com educação e obteve a aprovação das reformas, tal como a lei de obrigatoriedade escolar, mas foi incapaz de garantir a aprovação de leis restringindo o lobby político nas câmaras legislativas e aprovar um programa de compensação trabalhista. McCreary foi um dos cinco comissários encarregados de supervisionar a construção da nova mansão de governador e exercia considerável influência sobre os planos de construção. Seu mandato terminou em 1916, tendo falecido dois anos após. O Condado de McCreary foi formado durante o segundo mandato de McCreary no governo e foi assim nomeado em sua honra. (pt)
