in October, 1899. He graduated at
Dartmouth College, in 1919, and was after.
wards chosen tutor in that institution, but
having selected the law for bis profession,
be entered the law school at Cambridge.
lie completed his legal studies in Salem,
and commenced the practice OF his profcs.
sion in the town Of Danvers, in 1924. 10
1925 he was elected Representative to
the Massachusetts, Legislature, and in s27
he was 10 the Senate of the same State. lie
took prominent part in the debates, and won
much reputation by hisenergy and sagacty.
In 1892, he was elected member OF Con-
gress, from the Essex District, but declined
a re election in 1884, and removed to Bos
ton to devote himself to bis profession.
Here he took All emisent position at the
