Northwestern papers have given
some prominence to the success of
John M. Quinn, formerly on the edi-
torial staff of the Bismarck Tribune,
in politics in New York City. MIR.
Quinn went down to New York in the
Bryan campaign, captivated an audi
ence with one of his brilliant and elo-
quent addresses and a little later re-
moved to New York from Montana,
where he made an enviable record
on the Butte Miner, particularly in
the capital campaign. He was APP
pointed as one Of. the officials of the
water department, but not intending
to stagnate in public office, occu-
pied his spare time for the study of
law and was admitted to practice.
His quail cations, personal and ac-
Quired are many, and it is not sur
prasing that he should be popular,
where ability, personal worth and mag
netism are such valuable elements in
bringing success. His election to the
state senate will give him splendid
opportunity to display his talents, and
although he is of the opposite poll
tical faith from the MAJORITY Of the
New York legislature, there is no
question but he will be heard from
in the lawmaking of the state. In the
Minneapolis Tribune is the following
with regard to Mir. Quinn's prefer
ment:
The election issue of the New York
Daily News contains the following ref
erence to a former we'll known news
paper man and politician of the north
west:
John M. Quinn, elected state sena-
tor from the Sixteenth Senatorial dis |
trict, was one of the strongest, ablest
and most popular men on the ticket. |
The loyalty of John M. Quinn has |
been tested during years of fusion
control OF city government, during
times of democratic supremacy and |
of democratic defeat, and has never
been found wanting.
Thomas F. Smith, secretary of Tam
many Hall, has told of the splendid |
services rendered by Mr. Quinn I'M
der circumstances that meant much
more than Inconvenience and fatigue
Mr.. Quinn will be a fearless pro
teetor of the interests of the demo
Gratis of the Sixteenth district at Al
bany, and will be tower of strength |
in opposition to the republican graft
ers of Ben odell. 81
Twenty years ago MI. Quinn was
associated with the Bismarck Tribune |
as editor, and made reputation as a
vigorous writer as well as clever
paragrapher along humorous lines. |
From Bismarck Quinn went to Mon
tana and after editing one of the Butte |
papers for a while, published a sort |
of political and philosophical weekly
review for several years. About ten |
years since. Mr.. Quinn suecumbed to |
the alluremenhs of New York city and
removed to the metropolis where he
took the fancy of Tammany because
Of his clever wit and his powers Of
oratory, and soon became engulfed in
the politics Of the metropolis. He has
held public Office ON several previous
occasions and his recent election
shows that he lis on the up, grade
toward a permanent career. Since
giving up Journalism, Mr.. Quinn has
taken ND the law and has just formed |
a partnership with former Judge j.
Bennett Southland, with Offices at Al
Park Row. Mr.. Quinn still retains
an active interest in the northwest
and keeps his friends of the olden
time advised of his welfare"
