We take pliaure in publishing this
week the biographies of two widely
known members of tae A. P. A.
They are both lawyers by profes-
ilon, bah judges by election, and
both as fearless, uncompromising and
determined h any men who ever lived.
One Is Judge Cunningham R. Soott, of
Ornaba, the other Is Judge John B.
SUtne, of Kansas City, Mo.
John B. Stone was born December 5,
184i, in Marlon, Perry County, Ala.
His early boyhood was passed in his
native county and at Sol ma, Ala.,
here he received a liberal education.
Ha enlisted in the Confederal army
at the atre of 19 years as a private in
Company A, Fourth Alabama Infantry,
and participated in nearly all the great
battles of the war. First and second
Manassas, Chlcamauga, the battles of
the Wilderness, the seven days' battle
around Richmond, Spottsylvanla, and
numerous other engagements of less
notoriety. He was a true and brave
soldier. He was seriously wounded at
the second battle of Manasea?, and
again at the battle of the Wilderness.
For meritorious conduct in the latter
engagement, he was promoted to the
captaincy of Company I, Sixty-Sooond
Alabama Infantry. In the last battle
of the war he was taken prlhoner and
confined at Ship Island for two months.
At the close of the war, Captain Stone
settled In Selma, Ala., and engaged in
mercantile pursuits, where he was
elected city clerk and tax collector in
1809. In 1874 he removed to Dallae,
Texas, and engaged in the real estate
business and became one of the leading
citizens of that city. In 1879 Mr. Stone
titmnorarilv removed to Colorado to
engage In the mining business, and
while there was, in 1881, united in
wedlock with Mrs. Mary M. Kester, a
daughter of Joel Haley, an old Union
soldier who belonged to Company I,
Third Arkansas Volunteers.
In 1884 Colonel Stone located in Kan
sas City, where he has lived ever since.
He has been engaged in buying and
selling teal estate, on his own account,
and has been vory successful. He is
one of Kansas City's most substantial
citizens, hontst, Incorruptible, and gen
erous to a fault. In the summer of
1894 the A. P. A. started out to cap
ture all the conventions that were held
by the different political parties, and
the first that foil a victim to our polit
ical powers was the People's party con
vention, held at Independence in Au
gust, 1804. There we nominated John
B. Stone for presiding judge, he being
a member of our order and one In whom
we believed we could trust. We then
laid our plans to capture the Republi
can county convention, which we ac
complished in September, 1894, and
placed Colonel Stone on their ticket
for presiding Judge, after one of the
most exciting political fights that ever
took place In a convention. The fight
was so bitter between what was called
the straight Republicans and the A. P.
A. that It took from Wednesday morn
ing at 9 o'clock until Thursday morn
ing at 8 o'clock to name the ticket.
When Mr. Stone's name was placed in
nomination, such a howl of protest
went up from the straights and Romans
in the convention that we doubt not
the Imps of satan smiled when they
heard it. But when the straights sub
sided there came ft shout from the A.
P. A. that no doubt made the throne of
the old dago on the Tiber tremble.
The fight was on, and for four long
hours the political maneuvering was
kept up, but the Romans and straight
Republicans went down, and John IS
Stone was nominated on the Republi'
can ticket. Then the question began
to be asked by politicians and the
newspapers, What is John B. Stone's
politics? Here you have a man on the
Rannhlloan ticket. What kind oi a
campaign will he make? Colonel Stone
answered them soon after entering
upon his campaign. In every speech
he made he prefaced his remarks with
"Gentlemon and fellow citizens, I am
the candidate of the A. P. A. of Jack
son county. I am a member of the A.
P. A., and If elected I promise you that
no Roman Catholic will hold office in
Jackson county after I am elected if I
can prevent it; and I further promise
that the robbery of the people oi wis
eountv bv the infamous gang that has
hflnn running the affairs of Jackson
county for the past thirty years shall
be Btopped. I believe In running we
business of this county on old-fashioned,
honest American principles, and u you
elect me as your presiding judge, I
promise you that it will be done." So
far as lay In his power, he has carried
out every promise made by him. The
first thing he did was to fire the gang
of Irish Romans who had been living
off the Deool6 of Jackson county, Mis-
ri for vears. drawing fat salaries
for dolnir nothing save what they could
do In a political way to keep the gang
in power.
of abou sixty positions to b filled,
Judge Stone got the appointment ol
seventy-five per cent, of the men, ftnd
in every place he filled he put in an
American, and he had the backbone to
appoint two of the boys who helped to
whip the Roman gang la the riilb
ward April 3, 1W1 one as night-watch-man
of the court- house and the other a
county carpenter. Judge Stone on the
22nd of February, lX, placed on the
c urt hoje the American Dug, the first
time in the history of this county tha
the American flag ever waved from trie
court-bouse. Judge Stone ha also in
stituted reform In the affairs of tbc
county which will save hundred ot
thousands of dollars to the tax-payer.
He has had J. B. Keshlcor, the gang
marshal of the county, on the rack for
some time, making him explain to the
court what became or the nign-prtcto
preserves and porterhouse steaks, rib
roasts, etc., that Mr. Kshleor has been
charging the county for and claiming
that he fed the prisoners on. Mr. kesh
lcor failed to explain satisfactorily, and
Judge Stone refused to pay his bills.
The judge has also been making life a
burden to Tommy Crittenden, the gang
county clerk, who holds his office by
virtue of the expert work of the ballot
box suffers and repeaters of the Second
and Ninth wards. He has been paying
political debts by keeping a gang of
political parasites In his office as clerks
and deputies, but Judge Stone said:
"No, Mr. Crittenden, you can't play
that game while I am presiding judge
of this county; you have no need of all
these men; I will just dispense with
somo of them," so he made a motion
that the court cut off the pay of four of
Mr. Crittendoa's employes.
Judge Cunningham R. Scott is a na
tive of Wayne County, Ohio. He read
law with that eminent jurist John Mc-
Sweeney, in Wooster, in said state, and
was admitted to the bar by the supreme
nnnrt nf that Ntste in IW Afterwards
he was eltcted and served one term as
nroaecuting attorney of Williams

where he was appointed, In 183, oy
Onvomor Wm. M. Stone, and twice
elected, as district attorney of the then
Eighth Judicial DUtrlct, comprising
seven counties.
In 1874 Judge Soott located in Coun
cil Bluffs, Iowa, where he resided until
November, 1885, when he removed to
Omaba, Neb. During his residence in
Council Bluffs, he was elected a mem
ber of the school board of that clty.and
was elected president thereof by said
board. In 1H.H0 he was selected by the
State Republican Convention as a Gar
field elector for the Council Bluffs Con
gressional District, and afterwards a
member of the State Republican Cen
tral Committer, wblrh ro'ltlon he beld
when located at Omaha. In 1891
Judge Soott a elee'ed on the R 'pub
lican ticket Judge of the Fourth N -braeka
Judicial Dlt'i-t for a four-years
term. Io 192 Judge Scott was elec'od,
at a Republican Congressional Conven
tion beld in Omaba, as a delegate to
the RoDublloan Pres'dential Conven-
r.nnntu. tion at MinreapMls, Minn. At the Re
puolicxn Judicial Convention held In
Omaha Oc ober 5th, 1895, the judge
was notnina cd for re-election to the
bt nrh for th i term of four years, com
mer.cing January 1st, 18U0, and at tho
election received the largest vote cast
for any of the candidates nominated In
that convention. The ccntest that fol
lowed that nomination, so faas Judge
Scott's cand dacy was concerted, was
one of the most hotly contested and bit
terly op; osed of any political contest
thst has ever reen fought in the Omaha
Jud c al nistric. For three yeurs tbe
Omat a iiee had unrelentingly, persist
ently and maliciously mil gned. tra
duced, vilified and lireled Judge Sco,t,
morning aad night, In every is sue of
that paper, and at times almost whole
rages of that sheet werj used to vent
the splfpn and malice of Its editor
asa'nst the judge; and vicious, virulent
and malicious press dispatches were
sent out from Omaha at the dictation
or suggestion of that editor in order to
defeat the re-election of the judge to
the district bench. Money was poured
out like water during the campaign to
defeat hi: re-election. At the Judicial
election the 5th of this month, in spite
of the Bee's opposltloo.Judge Scott was
re-fleeted one of tho judges of this ju
dicial district, running several hun
dred ahead of his ticket. His vindica
tion against the corrupt and false
charges of the Bee was pronounced, em
phatic and decisive.
Judge Scott is a thorough American
citizen, and as jadge of the court, fear
less, brave and uncompromising in his
devotion to the American principle
that every human being, without re
gard to his financial, political or social
condition, stands equal before the law.
