poverty. And here one is naturally |
reminded of a saying attributed to this
same Garfield: Il always feel like
lifting my hat" said he, when l see
an American boy and think OF the pos
sibilities that are wrapped up in him.
And never was there a boy in brave |
struggle against adversely that would |
be more appropriately recalled when |
this sentence of Garfield's is men
toned.
One day young Hanly went to Judge
Rabb, of the Warren Circuit Court and
asked to be admitted to the bar. He
was examined and of course showed
that he was qualified, better than many
a one that had been years in the prac-
tice Mr. Hanly recalls with both
pride and gratitude the encourage
ment that he received in more than
one instance from Judge Rabb. About
this time the aspiring young man
heard Will Cumback's lecture on the
possibilities of a Young Man." and
from this he received additional in
spratiOn.
One day in 1889. when he was teach
was still too poor to abandon these to
begin the practice of law, he met Judge
Rabb, who suggested that the young
man quit this employment and enter
his law office. The offer was accepted
and the young man abandoned the
schoolroom and the ditch to measure
strength with the other lawyers of
Williamsport.
The first year was one of struggle.
After that his ability and his industry
and his sincerity of purpose we're rec
ognized and appreciated, and since
then Frank Hanly has been known as
one of the best lawyers in the state.
In 1890 Mr.. Hanly formed a law part
nership with Ella Stansbury, a repre-
sentative from Warren county in the
last legislature. In 1894 he was elect
ed to congress, but was defeated for
denomination by very small majority.
; He then removed to Lafayette, where he
has since been engaged in the practice
of law. In 1899 he made the race for
the United States Senate and was de-
feated in the Republican Legislative
! caucus only Ey a small majority.
Mr.. Hanly has a comfortable house
! in Lafayette. The family consists of
himself wife and a daughter. To
these he is devoted, and of all his
varied experiences it is the home life
that he most enjoys.
| When it was announced that Mr..
Hanly would be candidate for gov
ernor, those who had given attention
to the life-work Of the man, recalling
| the numerous visits he had made to
different parts of the state, predicted
! that the foundation of his strength
would be found in the impression he
had left by his speeches-the impress
sion of both man and matter. These
| speeches were always interesting and
the delivery impressive, but in addi.
! ton to this was the feeling that the
speaker had mastered his subject, that
he spoke only his convictions and that
back of the speech was full-grown
honest, masterful man. And the pre-
dictions proved to be correct. 1t was
among the sturdy, thoughtful voters
that was laid the foundation for sue
cessful gubernatorial campaign.
Of course Mr.. Hanly will be heard
from in the campaign in many effec
tive speeches. There are always nu
merous demands for him, and this year
they will increase in number. Re
quests have been coming from all over
the state ever since the day he was
nominated. He will respond to as
many of these as it is possible for q
strong and willing worker to NEE.
This means keen analysis of existing
conditions, the unanswerable logic Of
the student and the thinker, the pc
culiar sway of the orators rich, nat
ural endowments, supplemented ant
strengthened by rare attainments an(
