LITTLETON, Martin W .:
Borough president-elect, Brooklyn; has barely passed his thirty-second birthday; was born in Tennessee, on the Campbell's Station battlefield near Knoxville, his an- cestry reaching far back into the history of the liberty-loving mountaineers of Tennessee, and his father having been a Federal army officer during the Civil War. When a boy of fifteen, he left his father's home and struck out to make his own way of the world. He drifted across the border into Texas, and worked his way up into the Panhandle country. The rail- roads were then fighting their way into the Texan wilderness, and the boy still in his teens, was doing a man's work with the track gangs. Working on the roads in Parker County when nineteen years of age, after he had tried his hand at setting type and had learned the trade of baker, he attracted the attention of the Pros- ecuting Attorney of Baker County; this official offered him a position as clerk in his office, which the young man eagerly accepted. In the Parker County Court House he studied law, and at the age of twenty was admitted to the bar; in a short time was appointed assistant prose- cuting attorney. A few years later he moved to Dallas and began to practice in that city; became prominent at the bar and was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney in Dallas. After his marriage to Miss Maude Wilson, of Dallas, he went to New York. and obtained employment first as a law clerk and later as a lawyer in a Brooklyn law office. His eloquence in the courts attracted attention and he was retained by the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company to defend it in damage suits. District Attorney John F. Clarke appointed him assistant district attorney, and he summed up for the people in the case of William F. Miller, the five hundred and twenty per cent. syndicate man, be- came engaged thereafter in the prosecu- tion of most of the important criminal cases which the district attorney had on hand. Mr. Clarke induced Mr. Littleton to make several campaign speeches, and these soon attracted the attention of the Democratic leaders of Brooklyn. In the Presidential campaign of 1900 he followed David B. Hill in the Academy of Music and made a speech so eloquent that Hill warmly congratulated him at its close. He had been a delegate to the State con- vention of that year, and in the following year he was selected by the Kings County Democrats to make the speech nominating Edward M. Shepard in the New York City convention. He took a foremost part in that campaign and in 1902 David B. Hill campaign, and in 1902 David B. Hill se-
selected him as chairman of the Demo- cratic State Convention at Saratoga; sev- eral times during the campaign that fol- lowed he toured New York State, making speeches with former Senator Hill in all the large cities. Against his desire-for he had elected to open a law office and get out of active politics-he was nom- inated in 1903 for borough president of Brooklyn, and was elected over J. Ed- ward Swanstrom, candidate on the Fusion ticket. He is a member of the Brooklyn Club and the Crescent Athletic Club. Ad- dress, Office of Borough President, Brook- lyn, N. Y.
