Phoenix tribune., 1918-08-31

He worked with men, doing a mans
work, and he came to know men.
When his hours were finished, he
sometimes walked on the hills about
Bisbee He sometimes played at
horseshies. billiards and pool. He
sometimes rode horseback through
the mountains, but generally he went
to his bunk in a frame shack, pulled
down a book from a mighty scant
supply. and studied. In time he had
saved q small stake, and in 1896 he
began the realization of his dreams.
For three years. then, Fred Sutter,
now the man, for he had passed to
the age of maturity, applied himself
in the Shattuck Military Academy at
Fairbault, Mimi, where his savings
enabled him to spend most of his
hours in studying. BY application he
covered four years course in three
years and in 1899 ne graduated with
honors. He had received the funda-
mental training which was necessary
before he could enter law school But
he had received another training
which has often since been of value
the military training. which instilled
in him the love of law and order, the
love of country, and the knowledge
of the great value of discipline.
With the foundation for the greater
knowledge laid, Fred Sutter found
himself again without funds. One of
his brothhers offered to loan him suf-
( ficient money to attend law school. He
refused the proffered aid and returned
70 Bisbee, where once more he bent
his back over shovel and pushed
! the little ore cars through the dark
dank tunnels of a mine. He saved a
small fund in one year and returned
10 Nebraska, the state of his boyhood,
to receive his legal training in the
University of Nebraska.
His funds were not large and econ
/ omy was necessary. But he applied
more than economy. He lived in an
attic room for two years; he waited
table at one of the student boarding
houses; he did janitor work about the
University; he shoveled snow in the
winter, and the one summer vacation
he enjoyed was spent behind a plow
in the fields. Then he graduated,
but his funds were so low that he
1 did not have railroad fare to return
to Arizona. He became a clerk in a
law office, where in a few months he
saved the price of a ticket.
In 1902 Fred Sutter returned to
Bisbee and opened his first office for
the practice of law He has been a
resident of Bisbee ever since. His
record in public life has been replete
with service rendered, and he has
devoted a large part of his time to
public service.
For five years he was city attorney
of Bisbee.
Later he was elected to the terri
torial legislature from Cochise county.
He served as superior judge in Co
chise county. Recently he met a pio-
neer friend in Yavapai county who
had known him since he came to the
state. The pioneer pledged his sup
port in this race to Suffer- but he
told him he holds one grudge. 'T'll
never forgive you for resigning from
the BENCH" his old friend told him.
You were one of the best judges
Cochise county ever had, and YOU
should have stayed on the job"

mics, the men who are fighting him
in his own county for the nomination.
