of a century has been trained in the
public service. He has been a state
judge, he has been solicitor general of
the United States circuit court he has
been governor general of the Philip

secretary of war, dealing with the most
difficult and complicated problems that
ever confronted that office in time Of

father was a Baptist minister. The
son left school at 16 and began to earn
his own living as a carpenters helper.
Early in life he made up his mind to
study law. He had natural traits of
character that especially fitted him for
the legal profession-ready speech, a
level head and great determination.
He first entered politics as a member
of the Maine legislature in 1885. Later
he became speaker of the house. His
next public office was that of attorney
general of Maine, in which position
he successfully handled many import
ant cases. In 1892 he was a delegate
to the republican national convention at
Minneapolis and in 1896 at ST. Louis he
seconded the nomination of Thomas B.
Reed. In 1899 Mr. Littlefeld was elect
ed to congress to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Nelson Dingley and
he was four times reelected.
