James B. Frazier
James Beriah Frazier (October 18, 1856 - March 28, 1937) was Governor of Tennessee from 1903 to 1905 and subsequently a United States Senator from Tennessee from 1905 to 1911.
Frazier was the son of a judge and a native of Bledsoe County, Tennessee. He was a graduate of the University of Tennessee and admitted to the bar in 1881. A prosperous attorney, he was elected governor in 1902 as a Democrat. There were further reforms in education during his term as governor, and he was elected to a second two-year term in 1904. However, he served only two months of it. When U.S. Senator William B. Bate died in office, he appointed himself to the vacant seat, resigning as governor on March 21, 1905. He was succeeded as governor by Lieutenant Governor John I. Cox. He served as U.S. Senator until 1911.
