James Andrew Beall

James Andrew "Jack" Beall (October 25, 1866 – February 11, 1929) was an American politician.

Along with members of the southern delegation to Congress, Beall was opposed to William Jennings Bryan on the latter's 1909 support of Prohibition, citing the Texas preference of handling the matter on local levels.

[3] On July 4, 1911, Congressman Beall spoke before a crowd of 1,500 at Meriden, Connecticut for that city's Independence Day celebration.

The crowd found him "charming" and "eloquent" as he spoke of the nation's history, his faith in God, and of the heroes of the old South.

[4] After leaving Congress, Beall moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1914, and became a law partner with M.D.
