Chanler, Poor Man's Lawyer
Character Study of New York's Lieutenant Governor, Whc
Is a Presidential Candidate—"A Plain Democrat,"
Though Born With Millions—Effective Platform
Speaker and Earnest In All He Does.
By JAMES A. EDCERTON.
THERE is not as much said now
as formerly about the presiden
tial candidacy of Lewis Stuyve
sant Chauler, lieutenant govern
or of New York. A few months ago
his boom was very much in evidence.
A number of leading Democrats fore
gathered and gave it their after dinner
approval. Then It sort of dwindled,
and little more was heard of it At
present it is impossible to say more
than that Mr. Chanler is a possibility.
That word "possibility" is very flexi
ble.
Yet bad circumstances been different,
had William J. Bryan not copper rivet
ed bis cinch on the nomination, there
are very many things about Mr. Chan
ler that would make him an available
candidate. Ills chief recommendation
is, of course, that he was elected to the
second office In the Empire State when
the head of the ticket was snowed un
der to the tune of 40,000. There Is
nothing succeeds like success, especial
ly in politics.
Another thing In Chanter's favor is
his location. He lives in New York.
It may not be a matter of general
knowledge that since the war the only
Democratic presidential candidate that
has not belonged to New York state is
William J. Bryan—Greeley, Seymour.
Tilden, Hancock, Cleveland (three
times) and Parker, all New Yorkers.
Under these circumstances it would
follow as a matter of course that but
for Bryan New York would have been
favorably considered for the nomina
tion this year, and Chanler is unques
tionably New York's candidate.
Famous For Its Politics.
And not only does Mr. Chanler hall
from New York state, but from the
Hudson valley, which has been quite
as famous for its politics as for Its
natural scenery. Since the days of the
"Albany regency," and before, presl

dent making has been a favorite pas
time along the Hudson's classic banks.
There are envious people In the mid
dle west and elsewhere who say that
all this is now changed; that the pri
macy of New York In national politics
is at on end. This may be so. Yet so
long as New York has thirty-nine votes
in the electoral college she will con
tinue to bo an important factor. Politi
cians are not ruled by sentiment, how
ever much they may claim otherwise,
and thirty-nine electoral votes all In
one bunch look very good to them.
Here is the way the Democratic poli
ticians regard the matter, and the
view is not without its common sense.
The Democrats can possibly win if
they carry New York. It all hinges on
that They certainly cannot win with
out It Owing to the split up condition
of the Republicans in the Empire State
there is a chance for the Democrats to
carry New York this year. Mr. Chan
ler actually did carry It two years ago.
Thei»ifore, reason the politicians afore
said, the logical candidate for presi
dent—indeed, the only candidate that
can win—Is Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler.
But how can you reason with a popu
lar wave? The heart of the masses
Aays Bryan, and, if Providence or Bry
an himself does not interpose, Bryan it
will probably be.
There Is one other factor in the equa
tion, however. The Independence
league, the organization that originally
nominated Chanler ^or lieutenant gov
ernor and that helped to elect him.
threatens to place a candidate for pres
ident in the field. This candidate, of
course, will be Hearst, for Hearst is the
league. Hearst will draw votes from
Bryan, thus diminishing his chances
for election, which never were too
promising.
On the other hand, Chanler, having
been an Independence league man,
might stand a chance of gaining the
support of that organization. It must
be stated frankly, however, that even
this chance is remote. Hearst is the
emperor of the league, and the only
man he will boost for the presidency
of the United States, the goal on which
his eye has long been fastened, is Wil
liam Randolph Hearst.
Chanler would fare better at the
hands of the New York editor, how
ever, than Bryan. The memory of
1004 and Bryan's support of Cockrell
for the Democratic nomination is still
fresh, and if any one figures that
Hearst forgives things like that he
does not know the man.
Useful Society Bud.
Chanler belongs to the Four Hun
dred and was born at Newport, the
sommer home of the smart set. He is
• great-grandson of the original John
Jacob Astor, who started his fortune
in the fur trade and has kept his fam
ily on the fur lined side of life ever
since. While Mr. Chanler was born
with millions and is a society bud, he
is by no means as useless or lacking in
ideas as these facts would imply. In
fact, be has been original enough on
one or two occasions to be dubbed a
"crank." A crank may be a nuisance
or a benefactor, according to the point
of view, but he has to thtnir
Despite the fact that he is related to
the best families in America, Inclu ding
the Marions of North Carolina and the
"F. F. V.*s," he considers himself, and
his friends consider him, "a plain Dem
ocrat" That is not surprising, as it Is
about the highest a man
can have in America. It to the order to
which Abraham Lincoln belonged.
A great many American men have
shown that they could succeed in spite
of poverty. A few like Theodore Roose
velt have shown that they could suc
ceed in 6plte of birth and wealth, a
still harder task. Mr. Chanler belongs
to the last named class.
He is a lawyer; but, like the boy
whose father was a Christian, he is
not working at it now. In façt, he
never did make much in the practice.
Having a steady income of his own,
he didn't need the money. It Is said
that his office went without a chair
some time for the reason that Mrs.
Chanler stipulated that he could not
buy a chair until he did it with money
he collected in fees.
How His Practice Grew.
But be did come In time to a large
practice. It was this way; Whenever
he saw any deserving person or any
person be Imagined deserving who
needed a lawyer and had no money
Chanler would undertake the case for
, nothing. This course gained him the
I good will of the people and the 111 will
I of his brother attorneys. One dubbed
I him "the poor man's lawyer" and the
! other "a crank."
Every man who aspires to the presi
dency has to be compared to Lincoln
I In some way or another. If it is not
] the cut of his whiskers, it is his stories
or his homeliness. Chanler has some
! faint resemblance to the great eman
1 clpator in at least two particulars. One
is that he is very tall, and the other is
; that he refused to take cases when
convinced that his client was wrong.
I He Is known to have thrown up at
j least one case, and one Involving a
good fee at that, when he learned that
his man was guilty.
■ Mr. Chanler, in addition to graduating
I from Columbia Law school, took n
j course in international law in Cam
I bridge, England. While in Great Brit
ain he became Interested in politics
nnd was a warm supporter of Parcel!
In Ireland. He assisted in editing John
Redmond's paper and was asked to go
te parliament, but refused for the
reason that he wii lied to keep his citi
zenship at Bed Hook. X. V.
The lieutenant governor is not more
interesting than are his brothers.
There are three of these, and each has
idiosyncrasies that have made some
thing of a mark in the world. Perhaps
the most noted is William Astor Chan
ler, who once made all kinds of geo
graphical and zoological discoveries in
Africa, which gained him membership
in foreign scientific societies aud
caused several uew kinds of bugs to l>e
named for him. He then came home
and went into Tammany Hall politics,
that being the nearest thing to the Jun
gle life he had been leading. He ran
for congress and beat the redoubtable
Lemuel Ely Quigg, later known to
fame as "Ryan's yellow dog." I do
not remember whether or not it was
this defeat which caused Quigg to be
embalmed In verse; but, at any rate. It
was at about this time. The verse ran
something like this:
If I were Lemuel Ely Quigg,
Lern Ely Quigg,
Lern Ely Quigg;
If I were Lemuel Ely Quigg,
I'll tell you what I'd do.
I'd Jump Into a woodchuck hol«.
An auger hole,
A gimlet hole;
I'd Jump Into a gimlet hole
And pull the hole In too.
Another of the Chanler brothers Is
John Armstrong, whose chief title to
distinction Is that he was the one time
husband of Amelie Rives, the novelist.
"Brother Bob," the Giant Sheriff.
By far the most interesting member
of the Chanler family, however, is
Robert W., otherwise known as "Broth
er Bob." He is six feet three and a
half inches tall, and every Inch of him
is alive. He studied art for many
years in Paris and painted a picture
which was hung in the Paris salon.
"Brother Bob" is now sheriff of
Dutchess county, and the manner of his
election should show the politicians a
few new ways to play the game. He
owned a stock farm, and on it were
a famous blooded stallion and a bull
of long pedigree. From these he al
lowed the farmers of the county to
breed free of charge. That county Is
now filled with blooded stock, and
Chanler is sheriff, having been elected
by an enormous majority, although the
county Is overwhelmingly Republican
"Make people happy" Is Sheriff Chan
ter's creed. As he Is of the type of
men who do things, the amount of
happiness he has spread about him has
become proverbial iu the vicinity of
Barrytown, near which the Chanler
homestead is situated. Notwithstand
ing his great wealth, "Brother Bob"
lives in an old farmhouse and usually
wears cheap hand-me-down clothes.
Recently, when Governor Hughes
was out of the state, New York had a
Democratic governor for the first time
In long, hungry years. Lieutenant
Governor Chanler held down the chair
of state for twenty-four hours. When
asked how it felt to be governor of the
Empire State he replied:
"About all I have done Is to work
the long distance telephone in an ef
fort to get Sheriff Chanler of Dutchess
county, so that I could notify him I
was going to remove him. But Bob's
too clever. He must have got a line on
what I purposed to do. for he wouldn't
answer the phone."
Effective Speaker.
During the campaign of 1000 Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler developed
Into one of the most effective speakers
on the platform. He was so Intensely
In earnest, so Individual and so inde
pendent that he captivated his audi
ences everywhere. His constant care
was to present his arguments in new
and striking ways. He would get up
in the middle of the night to jot down
some point. One day while out with
Mr. Hearst he felt a new speech rag
ing inside of him and hunted up a
stenographer to whom to deliver it
Tho stenographer was uew, and Mr.
Chanler talked with great rapidity. As
a result she got a word now and then
and guessed at the rest with more or
less startling results.
When the oration was typed Chanler
handed it over to Hearst without
glancing at It himself. Hearst strug
gled with it for about five minutes
and handed It back with a puzzled and
Injured air.
"I think, Chanler," he remarked,
with some heat "that you are a d d
anarchist or you have adopted some
new and untried language that even
Roosevelt bnsn't heard of."
Chanler looked at the chaos of words
that should have been his speech,
bought the stenographer a box of bon
bons and advised her to go back to
washing dishes.
Most of the Chanler brothers are
sportsmen. Bob being a great rabbit
and coon hunter in Dutchess county
and Billy having shot lions In Africa.
Lewis Stuyvesant Is an exception,
however. "He is a serious minded
chap," says a friend, "who goes after
a thing as If his whole life depended
on it He isn't a crank or anything
of that sort but he 's earnest In every
thing he does, and he tries harder
than any man I know."
Mrs. Chanler was a Miss Alice
Chamberlain of Red Ilook, and there i*
now a family of two sons and out
daughter. The lieutenant governor is
not yet forty and Las the possibility
of many accomplishments ahead of
him, even though one of them Is not
being president or the Democratic can
didate therefor, which is not emotiv
the same thing.
As second ofiicer of the Empire State
Mr. Chanler lias made a distinctly fa
vorable impression. In New York the
lieutenant governor's office is more im
portant than in most states, for Un
reason that the Incumbent is a mem
ber of several boards and chairman < f
some of them. These boards h:m ::
