Mr.. George II. Woodson, who formerly
acted in the CT pacity of waiter at the
West Hotel, has made a remarkable
record in Iowa as an attorney at law and
a political factor. Mr.. Woodson, ii viii
be remembered, graduated from the
Howard University Law Department,
Washington, ID. O., about three years ago.
He came west at once and found desira-
BILE location in the state of Iowa. From
all accounts, he has made brilliant
record as an attorney. He ran for county
attorney last election. and came within a
few votes OF being elected. He is now
mentioned as a candidate for the Iowa
State legislature, with fair prospects OF
being elected. Mr.. Woodson is a fine
example OF pluck and energy for Afro
American young men-success to him.
We wish allformer Minneapolitans could
raise the standard OF intellectual bril-
liancy in favor OF the race as Mr.. Wood
son has.
