SAUNDERS LEADING.
Has Strong Support
in this County for
the Speakership.

ALAODIN'S MAN MYERS.

Republican candidates for the legis-
lature are interested in the contest for
the speakership, which is assuming con-
siderable proportions already. So far
as this section is concerned, there
seems to be only one candidate,
Charles Robertson Saunders, of Bos-
ton. AS Worcester county is not much
given to Chinese music or to burning
joss sticks in mugwump temples, the
candidacy of James ]. Myers, vice pres
ident of the Democratic Reform Club,
and a member of Aladdin Atkinson S
considered,
Mr.. Saunders is a republican who
believes in promoting republican prin-
CipleS fearlessly. He has impressed
his influence upon state legislation to
a considerable extent, and has COM
PEELED recognition in the house as a
leader and an effective debater. Dur
ing his secOud year in the Legislature,
his work was so valuable that he was
looked upon as one of the most avail
able candidates for the speakership in
the next House. During the summer
this opinion has crystallized and Mr..
Saunders is now looked upon, as a prob
able winner in the speakership contest.
Mr.. Saunders was born in Cambridge,
Nov. %, 1862. His great-great-grand-
fathe", John Hicks was killed on the
18th o. April, 1775, while engaged with
a little group of townsmen in picking
off the redcoats on their retreat from
Lexington. His father, Charles H.
Saunders, was mayor of Cambridge,
1860 and since 1877 has been chair
man of the commissioners of the sink
ing funds of that city.
Charles R. Saunders was educated in
the Cambridge public schools, gradual
ing from the high school and from Har-
ward of the class of 1884. During his
college career he was elected president
of the university debating society the
Harvard Union, three times, serving in
that capacity for a longer period than
any one before or since. In that most
important event in the life of a college
class, the election of class-day Off
GERS. he was selected to preside by the
committee representing the different
factions, and Endorsed by the class, in
each case unanimously. In 1884 he took
an active interest in the presidential
campaign. He was in favor of the
nomination of Arthur, but when Blaine
was nominated, he formed a Blaine and
Logan club in the law school, which
became one of the features of the local
campaign In the year 1SS5-S6, Mr.
Saunders was assistant editor of the
Cambridge Tribune. He graduated in
1888 from the Harvard law school, hav-
ing been admitted lin January of that
year, to the Suffolk bar, and at once
entered the office of the New York and
New England Railroad as assistant to
Mr.. Saltonstall, it's solicitor. There he
remained till January, 1890, when he
removed from Cambridge to Waltham,
and went into general practice, with

rules. He opposed the replacing of
the tracks on fremont street, believing
that it was good policy to free the sur
face of the streets, so far as possible,
of tracks, thereby creating additional
thaToughfares for the public in crowded
sections of the city. He advocated the
bill, which became a law, to protect
the state house by limiting the height
of buildings in it's immediate vicinity
to seventy feet. Mr. Saunders takes
great interest in the subject of honest
elections and is the author of several
bills, put through the Legislature this
season, to check fraudulent voting in
Boston. AS House chairman OF he
committee on election laws he dissent
ed from it's report which favored bring
ing the state and municipal elections
in that city upon the same day TAX
ing the ground that the best interests of
the public We're served by a complete
separation of state and municipal is
sues, he led the fight in the House
which resulted in the overwhelming de-
feat of the proposition.
Besides his active membership in the
Republican Club of Massachusetts. Mr..
Saunders belongs to the Citizens AS
ISOLATION Of Boston, the MiddJesax
Club, the University Club, the Harvard
Phi Beta Kappa and the Bar tssoci-
alton of Boston.
In personal appearance Mr.. Saunders
is manly and straightforward, Of good
height, with a pleasing, clear-cut coun-
tenance. His manner wins confidence
by his evident sincerity and f1rmness of
character.

prised to learn that a Boston lawyer
had been to see young Hollingsworth,
and said that if he wanted other coun-

offices in both Waltham and Boston.
Three years later in February, 1893 he
took up his residence in Boston, estab-
fishing his home on Pinckney street in
the old West End where he has since
dwelt, his law office being at No. 40
Water street.
Mr. Saunders direct connection with
politics in the general field began while
he was living in Waltham, when he
was elected president of the Waltham
Republican Club. In Boston he has
been a member of the republican city
committee since 1885, and in the years
1897 and 1899 he was chairman of its
committee on rules. Il In January of
the present year he was mentioned for
president Of the city committee, but
declined to be a candidate. During
the same years, 1868, he has been a
member of the executive committee OF
th4 Republican Club of Massachusetts.
His service in public place began with
his election to the Boston common
council for 1897 in the municipal ejec-
ton of 1896. In that tempestuous body
he took q leading part from the sta1t.
He servd on the committees on ordin-
ances and law department, judiciary,
mayor's address and registry depart
ment His persistent work for weeks
in the investigation of the purchase of
the municipal printing plant, in the
face of almost insuperable obstacles
and bitterly hostile partisan commit
tee. won for him the gratitude CT all
public-spirited citizens.
Mr.. Saunders career as legislator
began with the session of 1898. In this
first year, as has been said, he took
front rank early. His committee work
was on the committees on election laws
and on observation-disclosures On
the floor of the House he was especially
prominent in securing the passage of
the bill for the protection of Coplay
square. and III defeating the pernic-
ious scheme for the election of Boston
aldermen throughout the city by wards.
Reelected to the House of 1899. he
