Object Details

A former stage actor and California state legislator, Julius Kahn was elected to the House in 1898. As Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, he was a strong supporter of universal military training and preparedness, advocating for a mandatory six-month military training for young men. After a lengthy illness that largely kept him away from Washington during his final term, he died in San Francisco in 1924.
