During this period he became stenographer and recorder to the Law Academy, of which, later on, he was successively Treasurer, Vice Presi- dent, and President. His admission to the bar, thirteen years ago, was followed by an active practice, his knowledge of business aiding to bring many commer-
cial and corporation cases and the repu- tation of one of the brightest and most successful men at the Philadelphia bar. His oratorical prowess helped him not only in the courts, but won him a stand- ing as a ready and efficient political speaker. In 1901 he was given the nom- ination of the Republican Party for Dis- trict Attorney on the double basis of honesty and ability, and he was duly elected. His active and unpartisan ser- vice in this office made him very popular, and in 1903, when there was a vigorous public demand for an honest and inde- pendent city executive, he was selected by the Republican leaders in response to the public demand, and was elected Mayor by a large majority.
