Alderman William E. Dever, Demo
cratic candidate for Judge of the SUI
perior Court, is so well known and is
held in such high esteem by the peo-
pie in this city and county. that he
needs no introduction to the thousands
of readers of The Broad AK, he was
born in Woburn, Mass, in 1862, re-
ceiving his education in the public
schools of the city in which he first
saw the light of day; residing there
until 1887, then he wended his way to
Chicago, and he has been an honored
resident of this great city from that
time to the present.
For more than ten years he has been
a very valued member of the city coun-
Gil from the 18TH ward and most of
that time, as well as at the present time
has been chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee of that body. he is also an active
member of several other important
committees and for years he has been
regarded as one of its foremost leaders
and in all his labors for the city of his
adoption he has had the united sup
port of the daily press, as well as the
hearty support of the small weekly
newspapers, whose editors and owners
have always spoken of him in the high
est terms.
In 1890, after he had thoroughly
drank in, the law, he was admitted to
the bar, and for twenty years he has
been in the general practice of his pro-,
fession, at the present time occupying
a fine suite of law Offices on the sth
floor of the Ashland Block; he is a
prominent member of the National
Union, Knights of the Maccabees,
Knights of Columbus and several other
social and Benevolent organizations; he
has been happily married for many
years and resides with his family at
27s West Chicago avenue and Mrs.

1t will also be recalled that A few
days after the county election in Iln6
at the time the first municipal court
judges were elected, some of the liIv
White Republicans, wanted Alderman
Dever, to join in the cold-blooded
scheme, to cheat F. L. Barnett, out of
his election as one of the judges OF the
municipal court, which was finally ac-
complished, but to his everlasting credit
Alderman Dever, in a manly wav
promptly declined to do so; saying at
the same time that he honestly believed
that Mr.. Barnett had been fairly elect
ed, that he had nothing belonging to
him, that he was nor in favor of stirring
up so much race prejudice, that Mr..
Barnett had already been abused too
much and stabbed too many times while
passing through the house of his sup
posed Republican friends"
