boy, whose sole capital consisted Of
energy and determination to succeed
in spite of all obstacles. AS youth
he early began to provide for himself
and while mere boy. he assisted in
the construction of what is now the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road in northern Illinois, where he
drove a team and scraper in the exca-
walton of some of the hills along that
line.
Born in DuPage county Illinois,
Nov. %, 1858. he came to Iowa In 1872
and settled on a farm in Chickasaw
county. He worked on the farm and
studied as he could get the opportunity
until little later. on he began teach
ing school In the winter, continuing
his studies, he little by little fitted
himself for active life by engaging
in the study Of law. In 1882 he was
admitted to the bar and has been in
continuous practice ever since. He
has succeeded in his profession and is
now accorded the distinction of being
one of the best all around lawyers
in northeastern Iowa, being particular
ly strong before a jury
AS a man he is possessed of many
companionable qualities. He is what
Is termed good mixer, for he is warm
hearted and affable and what is bet
ter than all. he knows no distinction
between men and is as agreeable to the
poorest as he is suave in his inter.
course with those occupying more
exalted station I'm life.
He will be remembered by every one
who attended the last Republican
state convention, as making an unusu.
ally efficient and impartial chairman
of that great body.
As campaigner, he Is very success
full. His speeches are argumentative
and persuasive. He does not make
use Of vitriolic filings against the op-
position or in sarcastic periods at the
expense of the candidate of the other
party. He depends more upon persua-
sion and fair statement of the stu

would have cost had It been published
by private individuals.
Among other matters In which Sen.
ator Trewin has been actively inter.
ested, one Of the most important in its
effects on the interests of the people,
is the school laws. He was directly in.
strumental in framing and securing
the passage of many of these laws and
the changes which have proven so ben
eficial to the people, were largely the
result of his careful investigation int
the needs of our public schools.
He was chairman of the senate com.
mittee on schools in the Goth and 9th
general assemblies, and of the CON-
mittee of cities and towns in the 18th
and is also chairman of the committee
to revise the laws in relation to cities
and towns. While serving in the
house he was at the head of the com.
mittee in that body on cities and
towns.
Senator Trewin's work has also
borne good fruit along the lines of
saving money for the people in the
curtailment Of expenses in the admin
istration Of state affairs. When the
code was being revised, he, with SEN
ator Carpenter, was appointed spe-
cial committee to report to the senate
the reductions which should be made
In the expenses of carrying on the vari
Gus state departments, and as the d.
rect result of their work, the Goth gen.
eral assembly Topped off about $4,000
annually in the unnecessary expense of
these departments. There was also a
net saving made to the state by the
reduction OF salaries and expenses of
county officers, Of printing and binding.
and of the various state institutions,
amounting to about S165.000 per an
mum. Senator Trewin was one of the
leaders in bringing about these results.

and given 1t prominence second to no
other state in the union. Iowa today
is in the center Of the stage and the
attention of the people of the United
States is attracted to it.
Three reasons, together with the
growth and prosperity of the state and
its institutions, makes the selection
of candidate for governor question
of great Importance. 1t has become
almost imperative that the man who
is chosen should not only be able,
honest, of calm judgment, good exc.
c6tive ability and judicial trend OF
mind, but one who has had that ex-
perience in state affairs which will
give him clear and ready appreciation
of the needs Of the people, the neces.
stiles of the various institutions and
the requirements Of the different
branches OF public service of the state.
Senator James FL. Trewin, of ALA.
makee county. seems largely possessed
of these elements so necessary to the
successful administration of the office
of governor of Iowa in this important
stage in its growth
His long, active and successful sery.
ice in the legislature makes Senator
Trewin especially available at this
time. His legislative service has been
successful because of the important
things he has accomplished. In 1898
he redeemed Allamakee county after
It had for 10 years been represented
In the lower house Of the legislature
by a Democrat. Two years later. he
was sent to the senate from the Fay
cite Allamakee district and is still a
member Of that body, having been re-
elected by an increased majority.

to recount all he has done In the I'm.

codification of the laws was originated
by him when a member of the 25th
