congress. Mr.. Hackney was a mem.
Der OF the legislatures of 1897 and
1898, and was chairman OF the iudic-
iary committee Of that body, and
was one Of the most influential mem.

with the enviable record of voting
for every reform measure, and won
the warm cOmmendatiOn not only of
his constituents, but also Of the re.
form forces OF the state. Probably nc

Mr.. Hackney was asked today if he
was a candidate for congress. He re.
piled that he was not: that while he,
like every one else 10 the district
would like to represent the "Big
Seventh" in the national congress. he
had lar e and growing law practice
aud did not feel like sacrificing it on
the altar OF political aspirations. Mr.
Hackney expressed his appreciation
OF the support that friends had given
him, and said that he would be at the
service Of whoever the reform forces
should see fit TO nominate at the
Great BeBd convention.
