United States Senator. Thomas ].
Study.
1t is not altogether so improbable
that within few months the we'll
known democratic attorney of this city
may be known as Senator Study.
The we'll known democratic attorney
IL considering his entry into the race
for senator and if he decides to do as
friends advise, he will have the undi-
vided and qualified support of every
member of the Wayne county bar and
also the judge of the circuit court He
will have the votes of three republican
members of the state legislature,
whose homes are in this city. He can
secure the support of other republican
members of the legislature, as well as
democrats. All in all, local friends
can not but see that Mr.. Study has a
chance equally as good as any of the
men, whose names have been suggest
Study Would Take IT.
why, of course 1 would have it if |
could get it," said Mr.. Study today,
when asked about the proposition. He
was told number of the local attor-
neys, everyone republican, had sug-
gested the subject and pledged their
support well, if find there is any
chance. will be sure and make the at
tempt" Mr.. Study added. And then
he began review of the chances of
the other men, who have announced
themselves for the position. He con-
sidered, also. the counties in which he
might secure a backing and the lead
ers of the party, who are either obli-
gated to him for past services or of
such friendship that they could be re-
lied upon to come to his assistance.
To certain extent. Mr.. Study
would be somewhat of dark horse
He never has been an office seeker, al
though an ardent example of the true
disciple of Thomas Jefferson. Once
upon time, Mr.. Study's allegiance
was with the republican party. That
was long ago, however, and he refers
to the day of his conversion as the
first time / saw the light"
AS to the competency of Mr.. Study
for the position there is not the least
question of doubt, it is declared. AS
an attorney he ranks among the best
in Wayne county and no four leaders
could be selected from the local bar
without including his name. The high
standard of the local bar is known
throughout Indiana and its fame has
extended beyond the borders of the
state, also. Mr.. Study is one of the
best read lawyers to be found in the
entire state. and is easily the superior
of any of the men whose names have
been mentioned for the position bar
ring none.
The mans honesty and integrity
never have been questioned. AS a
practionier he has the respect of all
his colleagues and never has been
known to stooD to unde rhanded meth
DDS to advance the interests of his
clients, regardless of the nature of the
case. He is broad minded. quick to
discern, fluent talker. an adept at
argume ntative debate and otherwise
fitted in every way to meet the de-
mands of the position of senator. his
friends declare.
Search the state through and a
stricter follower of the principles of
democracy can not be found. Mr..
Study would enter the senatorship
contest without any mixed feelings re-
sulting from allegiance to any wing,
clique or faction of the democratic
this county, Mr.. Study took no steps
to identify himself with either faction.
He acted impersonally.
What His Friends Say.
That local. loyal republicans will
set their shoulders to the wheels and
endeavor to push the Study wagon
into the senatorial contest is to be
construed from the expressions of at
torneys and public officials uttered
this morning
Appended are extracts from a few
of these men. who We're asked about
the subject of Mr.. Study's candidacy: |
