chusetts, but Hartford, Conn, was his
home from early boyhood to manhood.
He graduated from the Lawrence Sci
entifc school in 1887 and from Yale
university in 1891, afterward taking a
postgraduate course at Yale. Then he
entered the bar and practiced law for
several years. He is quite an athlete
and Is leading member OF President
Roosevelt's tennis cabinet" His re-
port on the devious ways Of the Stand
ard Oil company is filled with ginger
and evinces great familiarity with the
history and methods Of that monopoly.
Mr.. Smith has been up against big
corporations in such a way as to know
the evils emanating from their influ-
ence in politics ever since he sat In
the Connecticut legislature during his
political apprenticeship At that time
he rubbed elbows with agents Of cor
porations, one of whom wanted to re-
tain him as counsel, which, as he was
a lawyer, was proper. But Smith re-
fused to be retained.
There there was the usual railroad
fight. A certain railroad wanted a
A4La4C D4AA. AAC UA11 WOu1u away
with competition in railway building.
Smith led the scrap against it. The
bill did not pass.
1t was a great mystery to the rail-
road lobbyists. Here was poor young
man who refused to be retained and
who did up their bill. They did not
know that Smith had been left little
fortune by his maiden aunt and was
not really poor at all Smith was very
close mouthed about that. He just
smiled, kept good conscience and
passed up their money.
But the scandal spread, and it soon
became known to a number of people
that Smith would not take a bride.
Through President Hadley of Yale it
came to the ears of President Roose-
welt.
And that is why in the summer of
1903, while corporations were busy
with congressman arranging to fill the
new office with "a good man." Smith
received letter from Oyster Bay ask
ing him to call. The rest Is familiar
history.
