JOHN A. LARGENT.

A few words in favor of the can.
didacy of John A. Largent are in
order, although this popular attorney
is too well known to require oul
special recommendation. He was
born on 81 farm near Peoria, ILL.,.
May Z, 1866 Here he lived until

common school education. For four
years thereafter he taught school, at

pleting the course of the Urbana
high school. In June of 'SS he was
admitted to practice in the supreme
court of Illinois. He then went to
the law school at Ann Arbor, and in
'91 graduated with honors.
That year he came to Great Falls
In May 1893, he was by the labor
unions elected to the office of city
attorney of Great Falls, which office
he has filled as no other attorney has
been able to do. In 1894 he was
the leading counsel for the unions
through the A. r. U. strike which
the Unions won.
Mr.. Largent has always been a
warm friend of labor, but fair to all
interests. In the past two years he
has been counsel for defence in eight
murder cases, clearing five out of the
eight. He is recognized as one of
the ablest lawyers and orators of the
state, and if elected to the office of
county attorney, he will make a dill
gent, perscvering and thoroughly
efficient and trustworthy official

there had been but four men kicked
