 thoroughly qualified and tM
 l am honored with the svi1
 of a majority, I will fuil

 The office of the chief
 counsel of the state is M,
 requires the most careful s
 tion to details, and there n
 numerable questions to be nj
 cred, vitally affecting the n5 of every individual citizen 4
 state as well as that of the
 monwealth as a whole. 1 S
 that my experience in publ.
 and my thorough grounding il law. both common and ststaI have qualified me to serve yl pie in this capacity equallyaI as any other aspirant fR position.
 Wide Experience.
 It is a matter of common Ia edge to my friends and a
 that 1 have had a rather gn ful career as a general HsS CT. l was admitted td
 in Little Rock, in 1909, tGl 1913 have practiced in tkh Judicial circuit. which isM the strongest bars in thu and have enjoyed more thnl share of the practice. WA merly a member of the fnt Hall and Bohlinger, and upas retirement of Judge Hall, lk came the junior member
