The Baltimore Sun says OF him:
"The goyernor.elect Of Tennes-
see is Benjamin W. Hooper, less
than 40 years OF age, who does
not know his real name or who
his parents were. He was lou d
ON the streets OF Knoxville a n d
committed to the care of an or.
phan asylum whence he was ia.
ken 10 years later by Captain
Hooper, Of Newport, Tenn, who
gave him his name and educated
him. 1t is one of the spleudid
things about this republic Oi
ours that the name a man makes
for himself is the only thing that
counts: the things he does, the
only ones reckoned up when the
people look about them for their
leaders. From orphan asylum to
the executive mansion! Fro m
nameless waif to governor OF a
sovereign state! The way is al.
ways open in this country to
those work and strive and keep
the faith"
1t il the man himself t b q t

or lack Of it of his ancestors. All
men may not be born equal, but
the accident of birth will neither

must do that himself.

means that right now, while you

You must lose no chance to

this means that you, too, must
