If ' .... .... I ALLEN T. 'SA N.FORD- ' Prominent among Salt Lake City 's representative attorneys who have achieved success in their chosen pro- fession may be mentioned the name of Allen T. Sanford, who vas born in 13 TO, in Jones county, Iowa, where his early life was spent. His education began in the country schools of his native place, then the high school at Anamosa, la., from which he graduated and afterwards "from the State university of Iowa. This waa in the, year of 1893, and three years later he graduated from the Harvard law school. He came to Salt Lake City direct di-rect in 1S96, began the practice of law at once, and has been here ever since. From . his earliest 3ears Mr. San-ford San-ford manifested a natural aptitude for law, and 6howed more than ordinary activity and energy in whatever work he had to do. No diMy seemed too great for him to undertake, and none too trivial to receive his. most careful attention. In the practice of law he has displayed in a marked degree the 'traits of enegy and executive ability which he had already devejoped, and his diligent prosecution of all the duties of his chosen profession, as weil as his fidelity and devotion to the interests of his clients, soon won for him a leading position among the legal fraternity. Mr. Sanford will be remembered as the secretary of the Citizens' committee, and one of the speakers speak-ers at the Salt Lake Theater who vigorously opposed the granting of the fifty-year franchise to the Utah Light and Bailwav company. He was also secretary of the Republican Stato committee in .1904. During the time he held that office he served in various party conferences and these political experiences brought him into contact with the representative men of his party. He made several political speeches, and being a ready speaker he further attracted the favorable attention of the party leaders. He resigned, however, from his position as secretary, sec-retary, left the Republicans and entered the ranks of the American party. Last week he received the nomination of the party for State Senator and has already received the assurances of loyal support. Although still a comparatively com-paratively young man, Mr. Sanford has attained an exceptional success. He has done so, however, not by lucky chance nor "through favorable extraneous influences, but through virtue of his inherent worth. During his career he has faithfully maintained those principles of integrity and devotion to duty which always deserve success, " and usually command it, while his pleasing and magnetic personality has won him many warm friends within and out -of his profession. In social relations he is deservedly popular because he is genial, generous and sincere, the qualities that have belped along his public and professional career, but his courage and fitness are the best guarantees of his future success in whatever capacity he may serve. |
