PLAN No. 673. AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTS AN EXTREME POLITICAL PARTY
This man naturally was not content to follow the ordinary conservative lines of winning success. He thought it was for him to represent the extremest in politics, so immediately after graduation he associated with people of that kind. He was always present at their meetings and gave addresses. He championed their cause; and finally, when trouble arose, he was named as their attorney. He entered heart and soul into the fight, and made a reputation in this work.
His ambition was to make his office the headquarters of all labor organizations. In several of his actions he was very successful. He was especially good at gathering evidence, and was a good fighter when it came to court.
In a period of five to six years, he won a national reputation, where attorneys in the class he graduated were scarcely known outside of their own community. He was a man who could not sit still in his office—he had to have something doing all the time, and in his line of work he found opportunity for the true expression of his nature. As a matter of fact, the extreme element found it very hard to obtain the services of an attorney, and especially one who had his views.
