HON. MARTIN W. LITTLETON. Perhaps the most phenomenal success attained with only a limited education and without political pull or financial backing was made by Martin W. Littleton, Parker County citizen, who arose from the place of a hoe hand on a rented farm, and pick hand on a railroad, to that of Assistant County Attorney of Parker County, to a place in Dallas, thence to Brooklyn, New York, where he was elected President of Brooklyn Borough. He was then elected to Congress as a Democrat from a New York Republican district. As an attorney he represented some of the largest corporations in America. He made a distinguished record in defending some of the most noted criminal cases in the Nation.
