PLAN No. 682. LAWYER BECAME STATE REPRESENTATIVE
He was always the champion of the issues that arose in his particular neighborhood club, and he finally decided that if he were a state representative, it would be a beneficial experience for him, as well as an avenue through which to become known in the state generally. So he went about increasing his friendship, becoming acquainted with everybody in his district, and finally announced himself as candidate for the state legislature, and he was very much surprised at the ease with which he won the election.
He was repeatedly returned to the legislature and has almost become a permanent fixture in this capacity. He has always seen to it that the newspapers give him proper mention, on any matter in which he is engaged. He makes it a point to call the attention of the reporters to it if it has any news value at all. By this studied effort and work on his part he has made himself good timber for the United States Congress. Not only that, but he has won a large friendship among the people of the various states, which has brought him a good deal of valuable practice, and has given him business opportunities.
A young lawyer makes a very serious mistake when he does not pay attention to his opportunities in this direction.
