IDGE COMPANY, 110 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YOR Ainslee’s Magazine. «« William Travers Jerome, elected District Attorney of New York County, on an anti-Tammany ticket, made in two weeks a national reputation as the advance rep- resentative of a new type of man in practical politics. Shortly after his election the writer asked him if he would talk cf his plans for the future, the policy he would follow in the impor- tant office of District Attorney, or of his political ambition. For a moment he was silent and serious. Then a merry twinkle dawned in his keen gray eyes and he said:—+ When / first entered politics a relative said to me, «*When a man holds a public office he should act as if he never expected to hold another.’’ That has been my creed in politics and public life. It is still my policy and the man who lives up to that has no time to think of what the Suture may have in store for him. 1 do not expect to be President of the United States. If I had had that ambition in mind I might not; but that is another story. During my term of office I shall be just District Attorney without a thought of what may come after that.’ ’?
