| The Hon. George w. Guthrie is not
only one of the original Wilson Deni-
ocrats" and strong Wilson supporter
/ In Pennsylvania long before the cleo
ton last fall, but a conspicuous ng-
ure in clean and progressive ponies,
He was born In Pittsburgh and has
spent all of his professional life there
| in the practice of law. He was edu.
Gated at the Western University oil
Pennsylvania, now the University o.
Pittsburgh, and later given the de-
gree of doctor of laws from the instl-
tuition. After attending law school
| in washington, he came to his home
city to practice.
He became identified early in life
with the forces of progressive poll
| tics and in 1896 led the reform CAM
paign in fight for honesty and de-
lcency in city affairs. Though unsuc.
lcessful in his election, his element OF
citizenship was recognized as a strong
force and the fight begun at that time
bore fruit later on.
Mr.. Guthrie served on several hon
orary commissions, among them the
/ National Municipal League on NUM-
cipal Program, which, in 1900, sub
mitted a report significant in its
spirit Of modern civic efficiency.
Meanwhile he was active In national
Iparty politics as member OF the
Democratic party and first CAME into
some prominence as assistant secre-
Itary of the national convention OF
1884, held at Chicago. In. 1902 he was
a Democratic candidate for lieutenantr
governor of the state, receiving the
Unanimous support of the. state con-
Iyention, but the Republican organizes
ton in the keystone state was then
at its height and the opposition ticket
Twas defeated. In 1904 he was dele
gate to the Democratic national con
tyention. In 1906 he was elected mayor
{ of Pittsburgh, serving until 1908, and
as chief executive Of the big city he
made a fine record.
During the-last campaign Mr.. Guth'
RE took an active part in the political
fight in his state and was regarded as
one of the most influential OF the VIII
son men in the north. He holds 9
number of positions Of trust in Pitts
burg commercial and benevolent
bodies.
/ The regard in which the ambasss

i was significantly shown at aabig ties
timonial dinner in Pittsburgh few
j weeks ago, shortly before Mr.. Guthrie
started on his way to Washington be
lore departing for his new post. The
dinner was given by the business mef
ofZthe city with Guthrie, viscouni

Secretary OF State Bryan as the guests
