James McGoldrick McLemore (April 6, 1907 – 1997) was a landowner, cattleman, and auction barn owner from Alexandria who ran unsuccessfully in 1952 and 1956 for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in his native Louisiana. In the second election, he became the first candidate for governor to base his campaign almost entirely on the preservation of racial segregation in the aftermath of the May 17, 1954 United States Supreme Court decision ''Brown v. Board of Education''.〔 The victors in the two elections were Robert F. Kennon and Earl Kemp Long, respectively. ==Background== McLemore was born in Coushatta in Red River Parish in northwestern Louisiana, the oldest of three children of Patrick Cleburne McLemore, Sr. (1878-1962), and the former Theodosia McGoldrick (1882-1944). His sister was Sarah Lucy McLemore Fenton (1911-1984),〔 the widow of Arthur Phillips Fenton, who was killed in World War II in 1943 and is interred at Arlington National Cemetery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arthur Phillips Fenton )〕 His younger brother, Patrick Cleburne McLemore, Jr. (1913-1921), died six weeks before his eighth birthday. McLemore was married to the former Kathyrne Duff (1906-1997).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=James McGoldrick McLemore )〕〔The McLemore gravestone does not give the month and day of death; it is unclear if the McLemores died on the same day in a common event or if,more likely, one preceded the other in death in the year 1997.〕 In 1947, McLemore was elected a director of the American Brahman Breeders Association at a meeting in Houston, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Directors of the American Brahman Breeders Association )〕 Because of his wealth, McLemore was sometimes called "Cadillac Mac".〔 He was a chairman of the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James M.
