Gov. Troup was native of Georgia, and
born in Sept. 1880. He was a member of the
State Legislature in 1902; but was subse-
quenily elected TO Congress, and when war was
declared, in 1912, he was chairman Of the war
committee. In 1928, he was elected Governor
by the Legislature, and in 1926, elevated.to The
same Office by the votes of the people. In 1925
he was elected to the Senate of the United
States, and at the end of his term, retired to
private life. Few men in the Georgia have left
a sonnder record than Governor Troup. His
