G. R. WALKER FOR
VICE-PRESIDENT
—
Chicago Politician Is Baccking the
Former Valdez District Attor
ney for the Job.
—
According to the hotel column of
the Washington Post, a former resi
dent of Alaska may become a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for vice-president next year. He is
George R. Walker, now practicing law
in Chicago.
The statement is attributed to the
Post by George W. Drew, also of Chi
cago. Mr. Drew said:
"Judge Walker, who is a veteran
lawyer, has returned to the practice
of law at the Cook county bar. After
twenty-three years of practice in co
partnership with Judge Henry V.
Freeman and S. K. Dow, Mr. Walker
was four years United States attorney
for the southern district of the Indian
Territory. Following that service he
was made United States attorney for
the Third judicial division of Alas
ka, where he served for four years.
Judge Walker was a distinguished
scholar at Yale as a law student, and
also was noted for his literary taste,
and granduated with a high rank in
hi.s class, and one of his fellow class
graduates was former President Wil
liam H. Taft. While Judge Walker
was in Washington recently he called
on Dr. Radcliffe and later occupied
Lincoln’s pew in his church.
“The judge comes of a noted and
distinguished family of the state ot
Ohio, and he is not only, well-known
throughout tne state, but all over the
country. Judge Walker is strong and
popular with the people, and bis many
friends are urging that he is just the
man to put on the ticket for vice
president.”
