Probably no official of the present
State administration has served the peo-
pie in the discharge of his duties with
more satisfaction than John E. Cowen,
Attorney General. Even those politically
opposed to him, concede his ability, his
industry, his good judgment and the
strict, bipartisan impartiality with
which he has discharged his public duties.
There is no question in the peoples mind
about Cowan's case. He will be his own
successor.
