James B. Wells, Jr., attorney of Brownsville, Texas, was the central
figure in South Texas Democratic politics from the mid-1880s through the first
decade of the twentieth century and continued to exercise power as the Cameron
County Democratic chairman until 1920.
Wells served as chairman of the Texas Democratic Party from 1900
through 1904.
Wells held public office for only two brief periods: as Brownsville
city attorney in the early 1880s, and in 1897 he accepted a gubernatorial
appointment to complete the term of a state district judge who was forced to
resign.
For the influential ranchers of the valley, Wells defended sometimes
suspect land claims, arranged low property tax valuations, and lobbied for the
deployment of Texas Rangers and federal troops to provide protection against
cattle rustling and border raids. He relied on the ranchers to mobilize their
Hispanic workers and tenants for elections. Wells welcomed the participation of
prominent Mexican ranchers and businessmen in his political organization and
local government, and he provided modest, informal welfare support for some of
his loyal but impoverished constituents-in the tradition of the Mexican patrón
and big city boss. In this he epitomized the contemporary style of Caucasian
relations with Hispanic Texans.
With the support of the powerful ranchers of South Texas, Wells
consolidated his control over the Cameron County Blue Club and eventually
extended his influence over the Democratic organizations of Hidalgo, Starr, and
Duval counties. In each of these counties he oversaw the rise of bosses who ran
their own local machines but who acknowledged Wells's leadership on regional,
state, and national questions.
