HANLY, JAMES FRANKLIN: 1863-1920.
Born in St. Joseph, Ill., on April 4, 1863, J. Frank Hanly (the style he used during his political career) son of Elijah and Anna E. Calton Hanly, had little formal education. In 1879 he went to Williamsport, Ind., where he worked on a farm, sawed wood, and had six months' schooling in a district school. From 1881 to 1889 he engaged in school teaching while reading law, and in 1889 he was admitted to the bar. He practiced in Williamsport and Lafayette, Ind., until 1905. His natural gift of oratory soon gave him a start in politics. He was a member of the state Senate in 1890, a member of the 54th Congress from 1895 to 1897, and a candidate for the U. S. Senate in 1899. In 1905 he was elected governor of Indiana.
Indiana and Indianans, Vol. II, reports that his career as governor was a stormy one because of his determination to govern with a strong hand. He did not believe in compromising or conciliating, and he attacked publicly abuses in his own party, forcing the resignations of several officeholders.
He became interested in the cause of temperance and served as president of The Flying Squadron, a temperance organization founded in 1915. In 1916 he was the nominee of the Prohibition Party for president. He practiced law in Indianapolis and for a time was editor of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and the INDIANAPOLIS DAILY COMMERCIAL.
He married Eva A. Simmer in 1881 and died on Aug. 1, 1920.
