Richard Achilles Ballinger
Richard Achilles Ballinger (July 9, 1858June 6, 1922) was mayor of Seattle, Washington, from 1904–1906, Commissioner of the General Land Office from 1907-1908 and U.S. Secretary of the Interior from 1909–1911.
==Early Life and Seattle Career==
Ballinger was born in Boonesboro, Iowa, the son of Richard Henry Ballinger and Mary Elizabeth Norton. In 1884 he graduated from Williams College, where he was a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity.〔Baird, William Raymond (1915). ''Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities'', pp. 349–355.〕
Ballinger passed the bar exam in 1886 and began practicing law in Seattle. He married Julia Albertson Bradley later that year, on October 26. The couple ultimately had two sons, (Edward Bradley Ballinger and Richard Talcott Ballinger).
Following the scandal-prone Yukon Gold Rush era administration of Thomas J. Humes, Ballinger was elected Seattle's mayor in 1904. With the support of the downtown business elite, he cracked down somewhat (but not heavily) on vice, and opposed labor unions. Ballinger later proved a roadblock to the city's strong municipal ownership movement.〔Berner, Richard C. (1991), ''Seattle 1900–1920: From Boomtown, Urban Turbulence, to Restoration'', Seattle: Charles Press, ISBN 0-9629889-0-1. p. 111.〕 He also named Lake Ballinger in Snohomish County north of the city for his father, Col. Richard Bannister.
