HOWARD E. BRUNER

The following interesting
sketch of Howard E. Bruner,
candidate for district attorney,
appeared in recent issue of the
Crowley Signal:
Howard E. Bruner was born near
Rayne twenty-seven years ago, and
has been resident of Rayne twenty
five years. He attended the public
schools for many years and the Mount
Carmel Convent of Rayne for two
years; Acadia College at Crowley for
two years; the Louisiana State Uni
versity at Baton Rouge for four years,
graduating with honors from that in
stitution in 1903. During his junior
year he won the gold medal for ora
tory and in his senior year was one of
the three editors-in-chief of the college
annual.
In the fall of 1908 Mr.. Bruner enter
ed the law school Of. Columbia Uni.
versity in New York City from which
institution, after three years of hard
work, he graduated witch the degree of
L. L. B in 1906. In addition to his
law studies he did post graduate work
in the School of Political Science of
Columbia University and received his
Master of Arts degree in May 1905.
In recognition of his ability he was
elected vice-president of the John
Marshall Moot Court of Columbia in
his second year, and president of the
Moot Court in his senior year.
Before graduating in law he took
the bar examinations and was ad-
mitted to the New York bar. But
Immediately upon graduating he re-
turned to his native homa and began
the practice of law in Crowley. His
law business has steadily grown and
he now enjoys quite lucrative prac'
tibe.
Mr.. Bruner made his debut in poll
tics in New York City where he made
quite number of speeches in behalf
of Judge Parker, in the Presidential
campaign of 1904, He was recently
elected by a handsome majority, after
an exciting campaign, a member o.
the town council of Rayne.
He states that he is making the cam
paign strictly and solely on his owl
merit-both as to education and train
ing and character and past conduct
all of which are now, he says, public
property, and he invites close scru
tiny of them.
