Webster Grim’s Political Record. | Bucks County Man Carried Seven Agricultural Counties at Primary Election and Is Logical Nominee of ' the Eastern Part of the State. Former Senator Webster Grim, nom- inee for judge of the superior court, is a native of Bucks county, where he was born forty-seven years ago. He is a leading attorney of the bar of that county, and by reason of his wide ac- quaintance with public men at homa and abroad has always enjoyed an ex | tensive practice. - fie 2ntered politics as a Democrat as soon as he reachel his majority and has been a leader of state prominence for a number cof vears. In 1902, when no other Demo- crat would take the nonination in Bucks county for the state senate Mr. rim accepted it and won out after a hard fight. Four years later he was re- elected, although all the resources of the opposition were brought to bear | to defeat him at a time when the | county was heavily Republican. Mr. Grim was a delegate to many | Democratic state conventions and was | permanent chairman of the convention ! of 1903. In the session of the senate | in 1905 he was candidate for president In 1909 he received the pro tem. unanimous vote of his party for United | States senator against Senator Oliver. i Against his wishes in 1908 he was | placed on the Democratic ticket for superior court judge, and in this cam- | paign he was unsuccesful. Senator Grim was nominated for governor by his party at the Allentown convention in 19106. He was defeated, and the in- | cidents of that campaign are so re-| cent that they need not be repeated. | Under the most unjust aspersions Mr. Grim bore himself with manly courage and remarkable self-restraint through- out that contest, emerging from it | stronger in the regard of the people ! after defeat than ever before. Amid the myriads of charges which charac terized that bitter conflict Senator Grim came through it all without a stain upon his personal or political | honor. Though wronged and misjudged | he never wavered in his fealty to his | party or its principles. His course in| 1910 won for him the sympathy not | only of his own party, but of thousands of independent residents throughout | the state, which accounts in a meas ure for his huge vote in the primaries ! of Sept. 16. Record as a Legislator. Senator Grim’s career in the state | senate not only made him floor leader ! of his party in that body, but it placed | him in the forefront of Pennsylvania's | real reformers. His record as a legisia- tor has left an indelible impress upon | { legislation, but it was also largely 1n- | strumental in starting the aggressive and progressive movement against ma- at chine politics that now appears to be working out better things for the] state. Senator Grim was the father of | automobile legislation, introducing the | first bill on the subject, which was then | new matter for legislation. His speeches against the “press muzzler” were commended by Republican and Democratic newspapers alike. He fought all forms of jobbery and was the foe in every session of all meas- | ures designed to multiply offices, n- | crease salaries, pension judges and ap- propriate water rights. He and his col- leagues in tne session of 1905, while | sot able to stem the tide of vice then | rampant, so thoroughly exposed it that | a political revolution followed. Senator Grim was instrumental in shaping much of the good legislation placed upon the statute books between 1903 and 1909. He either supported or helped draft the Columbus Day bill, the bills for the taxation of express companies, for pavment of National Guardsmen at drills, providing for the health and safety of miners, authoriz- ing trolley roads to earry freight, for all the pure food bills, for the goldiers’ pension bill, for the bill protecting minor children, for the bill of rights of labor unions and for the school code. Equally alert against bad measures, he fought *he bill increasing the sal- ary of governor, against benzoate of soda, against assistant district attor- neys in certain counties, against the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh boulevard, against the resolution to place the Quay statue in the capitol corridor, against increase in the salary of the auditor general and against all ma- chine measures to grab franchises and control utilities, Popular With Country Voters, When the Democratic commiftee of Bucks county last April, by formal res- olution, presented the name of Web- ster Grim to the voters of the state as a candidate for superior court judge, he was averse to entering the contest. The importunities of his friends pre- vailed and he finally consented to the use of his name. His friends made the fight for him on the ground that the southeastern section of the state, nev- er represented on the superior court bench since that court was establish. ed, was entitled to a judge. This just plea met with such a hearty response at the primary election last September that he carried seven contiguous coun- ties—Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh, Berks, Carbon, Monroe and North. ampton—which gave him a vote * FO over 25,000, Senator Grim’s strength with the country voter is indicated by the offi- cial count of the primary vote, which shows that he leads all the other four- teen candidates outside of Philadel phia and Allegheny. In sixty-five coun- ties, exclusive of Philadelphia and Al- legheny, he has a plurality of 2100 over Kephart, 11,807 over Alcorn and 16,054 over Henderson. Semator Grim's| i i of professional dignity, | ing very quickly,” | western manager for the Armour Pack- | ing friends regard this as an exceptional | endorsement of his availability for the | superior court judgeship. His Progressive Views. | The progressive voters of the state, knowing Senator Grim’'s record in the | state senate as a reformer, appear to have given him very general support. | | It is quite evident that this body of | voters believes that a man who rep resents genuine progress along lines | of economic betterment should sit in; the superior court. i Since his candidacy was first sug-| gested nearly six motnhs ago Senator | Grim has had many well-merited com- pliments pa'd to him, but none of them | were finer nor more sincere than that: found in a recent address “To the’ Voters of Pennsylvania,” in the Bucks! County Bar, in which his fellow attor- neys say: “He has a judicial temperament, is | careful in the formation of his judg | ments, and is never hasty in expre= °s- | ing his opinions. He is known every: where as a man of even temper, not | easily provoked and never for a mo-| ment allows himself to become swayed | by excitement. The trait of dealinz fairly with his fellow members of the bar and with his clients has always heen freely conceded to him, but at the same time he is a persistent fighter and loses no opportunity to succeed in what he undertakes. He has always displayed a keen and exalted sense and he differs’ from many of the lawyers of this day in that he does not feel that the de! cisions of the past should settle for-| ever the course for the future. This is’ why he is known as a progressive. H s | whole senatorial record shows that he holds advanced views along those lines.” Predicts Drop In Beef. “A drop ir the price of beef is com. ! says Mr. Howe, the company, in Omaha, Neb. He. says there is an overproduction in Ar gentina and shipments from that coun- try will surely cause prices in America | to drop. i Guide Killed; Mistaken For Deer.
