James Vernon McClintic (September 8, 1878 – April 22, 1948) was an American politician and a U.S. Representative from Oklahoma.
Born near Bremond, Texas, McClintic was the son of George Vance and Emma Clay Proctor Mc Clintic. He moved with his parents to Groesbeck, Texas, in 1880 and attended the public schools and Add Ran University (now Texas Christian University) in Fort Worth. He married Emma May Biggs in 1904 and they had two children, Mary Vance and Olive Erle.
McClintic accepted a position with a wholesale dry-goods company in St. Louis, Missouri in 1901. In 1902, he became a traveling salesman. He moved to Snyder, Oklahoma Territory, in 1902, where he opened the Texas Store, a mercantile business. He then homesteaded a farm in Texas County in 1906.
After returning to Snyder, McClintic was elected city clerk in 1908. One year later, he served as clerk of Kiowa County, Oklahoma in 1909. When the southern portion of Kiowa County broke away to form Swanson County, with Snyder as its county seat, he was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He served as Swanson County's representative from January 3, 1911 to until the dissolution of the county on June 27 of that year. He served in the Oklahoma Senate in 1913 and 1914.
Having studied law at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., McClintic was admitted to the bar in 1928 and licensed to practice in all the courts of Oklahoma.
