IIK "ptllclnl Congressional Directory,
Sixty-Sixth CotiRress," which Is uow

well curry tlio subtltlu, "As Congress
Sees hseliV For It contains us usual
n biographical sketch of each 'senator"
iind representative with one excep
tion. And thermographics Are auto
hlogrnpliles. fr6 be 'sure, there Is it
sort of censor who Is supposed to see to It that
the authors do not' hand themselves too many
ilowers. ThlH functionary came Into being be
cause a former Kansas Hcnutor u few yearn ago
mndo the whole country snicker. Hut human
nuturu fs tbe hum- lb congress as out and most
of the contributors to this exceedingly Interesting
volume .seem to be possessed with the Idea that
they muqt explain why they nru 1'xnctly the men
for the place ho exactly Oiiit they 'wore. of neces
sity elected. And as the Ideas of the tiualltlca
tlons of u member of congress are about ns
many as Uio writers, the autobiographies do not
lack vnrjety.. ' ,
Thermo exception referred tb Is 'ltdpresen'ta
tlvo James O'Connor of Louisiana; he simply
lves bis name. In contrast, many other mem
bers need nearly Iwlf.n page to.set forJh the.de-,
iuiis 01 uielr wondrous juist.
Of thoso whoso portraits nre herewith given.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon's account of himself, Is con
densed, eveij laconic; Champ Clark's Is about
three t lutes ns fong. Inclijontnlly It may be snlil
that the attitude of brotherly love of the two'
former speakers Is for pictorial purposes strictly.
"Joseph Gurney Cannon, Itepuhllcnri. of Dun
vllle," the directory says, "was born at Oullford,
N. C, May 7, 18:10: Is n luwjer; was state's at
torney In Illinois. March, 1S11. to December,
ISttvS." Then It Js stated that he was elected to
the Twenty-second congress, and that he was
elected speaker In the Fifty-eighth. Fifty-ninth,
Sixtieth and SIxty-tlrst congresses. That's all
there Is to the seven lines of his nutoblography.
Champ Clark takes 20 lines. Outstanding
factssej forth In It are that he was the "youngest
college president In America;" "n hired "farm
hand ;" "led In the Hnltlmoro Democratic na- "
tlonal convention ' of 1012 for the presidential
nomination on 21) ballots, receiving a clear, ma-
Jorlty on nine ballots."
SenntorArthur Cupper of Kansas worked ns a '
reporter on the New York Tribune and he has
become, the second lnrgest, publisher of periods
teals In the United States. After obtaining ,un ,
education In the common schools of Onrnott,
Kan., he learned the printing trade dn the Oar- '
nett Journal, twent to Topekn in 1S8-I nnd-becumo

which Is regarded as exceedingly beneficial by
the publishers oft the country dally und weekly
newspaper.
Uepresentntlve John Miller H.tor of North Da
kota sets forth that he Is the llrst Nonpartisan
fleeted to congress; is married to the "daughter
of the North Dakota flaxseed king;" that he hns
a soi who Is the eighth John M. Haer In un
broken sequence born in America, and that ho
resigned from a postmasterslilp to engagu In car
tooning and Journalistic work.
Seimtor Nelson of Minnesota and Senator
Unnkbead of Alabama are veterans of the Civil
war. The lutter merely says of this: "Served
four years y ju-tyr J'unfyerato army, being
wounded three times." Senator Nelson snys:
"Was a prlvn&ftfttnl tlonionimlRsloned olllcer In
the Fourtli Wisconsin reglhient durlnc tlio Civil

There arc five other veterans of the Civil war:
Union, Senntor Francis E. Warren of Wyoming,
Iteprescntatlve Henry Z, Osboni of California
and KcprosentntUe Isaac It. Sherwood of Ohio;
Confederate, Senator Thomns S. Martin of Vh
glnlu nnd Representative Charles M. Stedman
of North Cnrollna. ,
Senator Warren, fought In the snme battle In
which Senator Nelson was wounded and enp
tured. Senator Warren served as n prlvnte nnd
noncommissioned ofllcer In the Forty-ninth Mas
sachusetts regiment. Ho received the Congres
sional medal for gallantry on the battlefield at
the siege of Fort Hudson. These two veterans
find pleasure frequently In "fighting over" the
battle which meant so much to them.
Uepresentntlve Osborno served In the Ninety
second New York regiment. Ho enlisted nt tho
age of sixteen,
Senator Martin was educated at the Virginia
Military Institution. While there much of his
time was spent In the cadet battalion of the Insti
tution serving (he Confederate states.
Representative Stedman served with General
Lee's nrmy throughout tho wnr. Ho wns wounded
three times. Enlisting as u prlvnte ho was mus
tered out ns n major.
Representative Sherwood was u fighter and Is
proud of It. His autobiography leads In part:
"Democrnt of Toledo; was born In Stanford,
Dutchess county, N. Y August 1.1, 183?; wns
educated nt Hudson River Institute, CInvcrack,
N. Y nt Antloch college, Ohio, and nt Rough

Lincoln February 10, for long 4ind .faithful service
: nnd'corisplchhiut gallantry at 'the battles of Ro

So only seven Civil war veternns'nro members of
the(pixty.5Ixth vongcess r4 years afte
pfJtho memoab efVitrigle between the
gouth. Soldier representation In con
after the close
North nnd
representation In congress was
nt Its penk between 1SS0 am) J800.
' The fncttthat the. 'period between 18S0 and 1SO0
marked the larger soldier representation In con
gress Indicates that niost of tho soldiers who
were In their twenties at tho close of the wnr In
1805 did not begin to aspire to congressional
service until Iind reached thirty-five or forty
yenrs of age. Many of them wej-o between forty
nnd fifty when they took their seats.
There hns been much conjecture ns to how
soon tho veterans of the Wnr of 1017,, us the
recent world wnr hns been odlclnlly designated
by the wnr' department, will occupy n majority
of scnts In congress. As a nmjorlty of thoso who
actually saw foreign service, which will bo tho
, larger political factor ns the years go by, were
between twenty and twenty-five yenrs of nge, It
s'jnny'be safely calculated that It will bo nt lenst
15 years before there will bo another soldier
i,r, congress. That will be In 1031. It may be sooner
' It tho newer custom of. electing young men Is
'continued. Tho average age of congressmen hns
Tdccreascd In recent years. Several of the pres
ent members are In their early thirties. The West
shows the greater tendency to elect young men.
Two veterans of "the War of 1017 are already
in the house in fact, were In It when they put
on the uniform. They are V. II. Lu Guardla of
New York, who was a major In the air service,
nnd Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota, who
fought In the trenches nnd wns wounded. King
Swope, a returned soldier, has been elected a
representative from Kentucky to fill n vacancy
nnd hns Just taken his sent. His election hns
set the politicians wondering, Inasmuch ns ho
was elected on the Republican ticket lu a Demo
cratic district and his platform was opposition to
the League of Nations.
Representative Luclun Walton I'nrrlsh of the
Thirteenth Texas district not only had the dls
tlnctlon of winning n $50 gold prlre as the best
debater In his last year at the University ot
Texas, but won his election by the use of n "filv
ver." Ho says: ". . . prior to entering the
nice for congress ho hud never sought or held
public office or emolument; he hud, however,
been nctlve In public affairs, as president of the
school board, as president of tho chamber of
commerco of Henrietta', and had held other like
positions of tnist. C. P. Spencer of Montague
county and E. P. Haney of Wichita, county were
his opponents In the race for congress, ami both
of them were reasoned politicians;, Mr. Iluney
hnvlng represented five of tho 12 comities In tho
congressional district In tho legislature of Texas
nnd Mr; Spencer having been county attorney of
Montaguo county, iind at tho, time he entered'
tho rnco was district Judgo of, noion, Moutugue

times u day, und reached practically eery com
munity I in the 12 counties. When the result of
the first primary was known, Mr. Purrlsh was
winner by, 2.VI otes."
J. Ktililo Kalanlanaole, territorial delegate from
Hawaii: "Republican of Wnlklkl, district of
Honolulu, Island of Oahu; was born March 20,
1871, at Kola, Island of Kauai, Hawaii; was edu
cated In Honolulu, the United Ktutes, und Eng
land ; was employed In the office of minister of the
Interior and In the customhouse under tho mon
archy; Is cousin to the lute King Knlaknua and
Queen Llliuoknlaul, monnrchs of the then king
dom of Hawaii, and nephew of Queen Kuplolanl,
consort of'Knlakaua; was created prince by royal
proclamation In 1881; married Elizabeth Kahunu
Kanuwal, daughter of a chief of tho Island of
Muul, October 8, 1800; was elected delegate to tho
Fifty-sixth, Fifty-ninth. Sixtieth, Sixty-first, Sixty
second, Sixty-third, Sixty-fourth, Sixty-fifth and
Sixty-sixth congresses."
Quito u 'number of. members in addition to tho
gentleman from Hawaii have considerable to suy
about their ancestry. Several trace their blood
bnclcjto members of the Continental congress. Ono
announces that he Is a "direct descendant of the
father pt Hannnh Dustln." An Ohio representa
tive, however, enslly lends them all,
Henry J. Emerson of Cleveland, representative
from the Twenty-second Ohio district,' sets forth
his uncestry back to the year 1005 In .this country
and hud the honor of being elected to tho Sixty
sixth congress without a slnglo vote being cast
against him. Here Is his story of himself:
"Republican of Cleveland; wns born In Litch
field, jle., Mnrch 15, 1871, son of Ivory W. Emer
son, a veteran of the Civil war. Mr. Emerson Is a
direct descendant of (1) Michael Emerson, who
cume to this country In 1055 und settled In Haver
hill, Mass., and was tho father of Hannah Dustln,
u famous woman of New England; his son (2),
Samuel, was born In Haverhill, but moved to
Dover, N. II., where bis son (3), Timothy Emerson
was born; (4) Smith Emerson, born at Dover, N.
H December 20, 1745, was a captain In tho Revo
lutionary army and served under Washington nt
Trenton and Princeton; (5) Jonathan Emerson
wus born at Dover, N. II., but moved to Litchfield,
Me., with his son (0), Andrew Emerson, where (7),
Ivory W. Emerson, the son' of Andrew, was born;
served In tho city 'council of Cleveland In 1002
nnd 1003; practiced law lu Clovelund'slnce 1803,
and has olllces In tho Society for Savings building;
was elected to tho Sixty-fourth congress by, 1,974
plurality, renominate at the Republican primaries
August 8, 1010, .without, opposition; rp-elected to,
the Sixty-fifth cogrss by 5,005 majority;, was;
renominated August IB, 1018, without opposition
at the Republican primaries, and bad 'no' opposi
tion ut the election. The "Democrntlo committee
iniinrKiwl Mr. Emerson und 'the Socialists nominat
ed no cnndldatp5 against lUm'J was elected to tho '
BlXty-HlXtn congress, receiving over -,vuu voius,
and not a single yoto being pist against him."
On casual examination of the directory It would
seem as If most of tho memburs nre luwyers. We
find mention of occupntlons of many kinds Iron
molder, baker, btock raiser, cowboy, tree surgeon,
manufacturer, physician, cheese maker, glas3
blower, lumberjack, miner, baggagomaster, farmer,
etc. About 40 members nre or havo been news
pupcr men, although It Is to be noted that several
full to mention the fact.
Among those who own up to newspaper connec
tions, Randall of California simply snys "news
paper t'dtor and publisher." Osborno of the same
state gives full details of his work as a printer
nnd reporter nnd ot his olnclnl connection with
the Intel national Typographical union.
Senator Medlll McCormlck of Illinois, a grand,
son of Joseph Medlll of thu Chicago Tribune, says
"writer and publisher." Hardy of Colorado' Is an
editor and publisher und Is president of the Nu
jlonnl Editorial association. Crumton of Michigan
Is u newspaper publisher. Champ Chirk says
''edited a country nuwspnper." Senator Harding
of Ohio, "hns been a newspaper publisher since
1884." Ashbrook ot the same stato has been pub
lisher of tho Johnstown Independent since he was
seventeen years old, Senator LnFollette of Wis
consin has a magazine hemlng his name, but he
says nothing 'about It In his very brief autobi
ography. Senator Ashurst of 'Arl'onn suy, "lias
pursued tho following dcctipntlpris : Lbmbeyuck,
cowboy, clerk a,nd cashier Mn .stqre newspaper
reporter and Iawy.cr." S,etHtor Owen of Okluhpnm
says "hns served us teacher, editor, lawyer, banlce
and business man." 1 ,
