Republican councilman nominee
The Carthage Evening Press
Saturday, April 3, 1915
L. S. DURHAM
L. S. Durham, the Republican candidate for councilman from the fifth ward, was born on a farm in Indiana in 1870 and grew up in that state. He was educated in the public schools of Indiana and at the De Pauw University from which institution he graduated in the class of 1892. He can to Carthage in 1895, just twenty years ago.
During ten years of that time he was engaged in the shoe business in this city as a member of the firm of McMillan & Durham.
After retiring from the shoe business he served a term as deputy recorder of deeds and has recently devoted most of his energies to handling mining lands and other properties.
Mr. Durham has always taken a lively interest in public affairs but was never before a candidate for public office and the present nominations came to him absolutely unsought, his constituents recognizing in him not only capable material for membership on the city council but also one who has the time to give to the duties of the position which its importance demands.
Mr. Durham's wide business experience, his energy and his high character as a citizen all combine to make him an ideal man for councilman, and the fifth ward will be well represented in the Carthage council chamber if a majority in his favor is returned by the voters of that ward next Tuesday.
