Abstract
"The beginning of James Hamilton Lewis' career listens like one of those success fables. How he had come to Seattle from Virginia, a young lawyer just emerging from his shell; how he had to pay and take on the handle of a shovel that he might live; how he went to bat in the courts to recover wages for himself and fellow laborers from a heartless contractor, thus providing himself to be a lawyer of parts; how he refused the nomination for governor, when he undoubtedly could have been elected, because his party in its platform had turned thumbs down on building the Lake Washington canal at state expense."
