James W. Faulkner
James W. Faulkner (April 6, 1863 – May 5, 1923) was an American political journalist from Cincinnati, Ohio, whose career spanned local politics in Cincinnati; state politics in Ohio; and whose writings covered the Presidential campaigns of both parties from 1892 through 1920. Faulkner started his newspaper career with ''The Cincinnati Times-Star'', and in 1887 he joined the ''Cincinnati Enquirer''. In 1890 at the age of 27 he was assigned to Columbus, Ohio to report on the General Assembly and state politics. He observed many lobbyists had invaded the chambers of the Legislature posing as newspapermen, causing special interest group influence on the floor of the House and Senate. He formed the Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association, requiring newsmen to submit credentials before gaining floor privileges. He served as its president for 24 years.
Faulkner covered every political convention for both parties from 1892 to his death in 1923. Aside from writing political editorial columns Faulkner wrote articles for various publications during his career. He died, aged 60, while attending a newspaper editors meeting and Associated Press convention in New York City on May 5, 1923.
==Early life==
James “Jim” Faulkner was born in 1863 to Irish immigrants John Faulkner and Ellen O'Connell (from County Cork, Ireland) in Cincinnati. His father operated the Gibson House on the south side of Fountain Square where he was born.〔''Cincinnati Enquirer'', Sunday May 4, 1958〕 He was a philosopher of sorts at an early age. While chopping wood with an axe at the age of thirteen, he accidentally severed a finger. The wound was tended to but Faulkner lost the finger. Later in life he told a reporter that, after he got over the scare, he thought, "Well I am minus a finger, but nobody is going to make me practice piano for three hours a day!"〔''Syracuse Herald, August 13, 1923, p. 4〕 Faulkner attended parochial elementary schools and graduated from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati.〔''The Van Wert Daily Bulletin'', Wednesday January 25, 1911, p. 1, column 6.〕
Faulkner worked as a telephone operator at the Ninth Street Police Station.〔''Cincinnati Enquirer'', Sunday March 20, 1966〕 He got his first newspaper job at the ''Cincinnati Times-Star'' in 1884 although some sources claim he got his start in the newspaper business in 1887.〔''The Mansfield News'', Saturday, May 5, 1923, page 1 column 3〕 He tutored David Graham Phillips at The Cincinnati Enquirer circa 1888 to 1890.〔
