Speaker Castle at the Opera House
Saturday evening made the state
ment that I. L. Lenroot, was a
lawyer without business, that he
lad never tried case in his life and
that he had no ability as lawyer.
Here is what Judge Vinji, Circuit
Judge of the Circuit in which Mr..
Lenroot practices, says about it.
Who is wrong Castle who lives in
Madison and gets Jenkins money for
making speeches against Lenroot or
Judge Vinji who sits on the Cir
cult Bench in Lenroots home dis
trict?
have had occasion to observe
some of Mr.. Lenroots work at the
bar, and I have found few lawyers
who could be of more aid, either to
the court or the jury than Mr.. Len
root. He possesses a clear, logical
mind, aud has a firm grasp of legal
principles. His reasoning IS that of
mind trained to grapple with
difficult and abstract questions, and
always shows a mastery of the sub
iect under consideration. True
ability is gauged by the quality OF
the work not the quartity. Measur-
ed by this standard Mr.. Lenroot
does not suffer by comparison with
the best lawyers of our bar.
A, J. VINJI.
Judge Circuit Court.
