HAYDEN M. WHITE.

HAYDEN M. WHITE.
Hayden M. White, attorney and publisher of Buffalo, well known by reason of pronounced ability in both connections and also by reason of his activity in political circles, was born December 21, 1871, in Charleston, Illinois, a son of George W. and Mary (King) White. He was educated in the public schools of Charleston and in the high school at Papillion, Nebraska, and then, having decided upon the practice of law as a life work, he entered the State University of Nebraska in Lincoln as a law student and was admitted to the bar in 1895. He located for practice in Sarpy county, Nebraska, where he remained from r895 until 1898. In the latter year he enlisted for service in the Spanish-American war, becoming a private of the Second Nebraska Volunteer Infantry. The war was brought to a speedy termination and after being honorably discharged Mr. White became a resident of Wyoming. In October of that year he established the Dayton Harpoon at Dayton, Wyoming, which was merged with the Sheridan Enterprise in 1899. He then edited the Enterprise until 1902, when he removed to Buffalo and purchased an interest in the Buffalo Voice, which he has since edited, becoming well known in journalistic circles in this section of the state. His writings are virile, trenchant and to the point and his position upon a vital question is never an equivocal one. In addition to editing the Voice, Mr. White has engaged in the practice of law in Buffalo since 1902 and has enjoyed a goodly clientage. In political circles, perhaps, Mr. White is even more widely known. He has done much to mold public thought and opinion along political lines through his editorial writings, through his campaign addresses and through efforts in other directions. In 1893 he was called upon to represent his district in the lower house of the Nebraska general assembly for a two years' term. In 1905 he was chosen county and prosecuting attorney of Johnson county, Wyoming, for a two years' term, having previously served from 1903 until 1905 as city attorney of Buffalo, to which office he was recalled in 1908 for another term of two years. In 1911 he was elected a member of the Wyoming house of representatives and ably served until 1913. In 1908 he had been made the democratic candidate for congress. He is prominently known throughout Wyoming as a campaign speaker and his clear and concise utterances have often carried conviction to the minds of his hearers. He has gone upon the stump in every campaign since 1896, in which year he was the youngest campaign speaker in Nebraska, in that year supporting Willam Jennings Bryan. He is gifted by nature with marked oratorical ability, is eloquent, earnest and logical and ever commands the attention of his hearers. In July, 1903, Mr. White was united in marriage to Miss Belle Smith, of Buffalo, and they have become the parents of three daughters, two of whom are living, Mary L. and Lucille. Mrs. White is a member of the Episcopal church. Mr. White is identified with several fraternal organizations, including Anchor Lodge, No. 7, A. F. & A. M.; Sheridan Lodge, No. 520, B. P. 0. E.; the Modern Woodtnen of America; the Woodmen of the World; and the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. He has been a close student of political, sociological and economic questions of the day and at all times keeps abreast with the best thinking men of the age.
