Biography* James Budd, born in Wisconsin in 1851, graduated with the first four-year class at the University of California at Berkeley. He was a lawyer, a Deputy District Attorney and Congressman. In protest of the Southern Pacific Railroad, Budd campaigned for Governor by buckboard. Though touted as a hero during his campaign (when he put out a fire at a meeting and later saved a girl from a kicking horse), his campaign was marred by the rehashing of an old scandal. . . . Budd survived the scandal and was the only Democrat to win state office that year. When he was in his office, Budd would hang a sign on the door that read, "Jim's in."
