Excerpt from The Howler, 1915, Vol. 13
It is good for a political party to receive an effusion of new blood occasionally, to break in a new horse. That is what the Democratic party did when it nominated Bickett for attorney-general in 1908. He was born in Union County in 1869, but had not been born into politics till the sufirage amendment had been in existence for several years. Bickett was a man of whom no one could say that he had served the party in the dark days. No friend ventured to say that the party owed him any political debt. He was nominated solely on one ground his Vigorous ability which the lawyers of the State had recognized in his addresses before the Bar Association.
The public did not know him till he made the notable speech nominating Colonel Ashley Home for Governor. The Bar Association already knew him. His nominating speech showed the party that a young David had come among them. It nominated him for attorney-genei'al, told him to enter the campaign, and thrust his sickle into the grain.
