delegation the senators and two represen-
tatives were born In Vermont, namely,

Edmunds In Richmond George W. Hen
dee, Stowe and Dudley G. benson in
Royalton. Charles H. Joyce, the repre-
sentative from this district, was born in
England and came to the United States and
Vermont in 1885. They are all republi-
cans and, with the exception Of Senator
Morrill, who classes himself as farmer"
are attorneys. The only college graduate
of the number is Dudley G. Denison who
is graduate of the University Of Vermont.
The other native Vermonters now In
congress are Stephen W. Dorsey of Arkan-
sas, native of Benson, and Aaron II. Cra-
gin of New Hampshire, native Of Wes-
ton, in the senate. Both are republicans,
the former being railroad president and

They are all republicans. Mr.. Kasson is

sity of Vermont in 1912 Mr.. Willard an
editor, and Mr.. Stowell merchant. Lu-
Glen B. Caswell of Wisconsin, a new men,
Der, is a native of Swanton, an attorney
and republican. To these, perhaps, should
be added George w. Gate, native OF
Montpelier, claiming seat from the eighth
Wisconsin district by majority of two
votes. We referred to his case few days
| ago, and it will be remembered that the
| votes of Lincoln and one of the wards Of
Grand Rapids we're rejected by the canvas
| sers, by which he obtained his apparent
majority, he receiving from the governor
| the certificate of election /; the case wal
submitted to the supreme court Of Wiscon
sin, he and McDill, his competitor, agree
| ing to abide the result and the decision wa
| in favor of the latter, the court deciding
that he was duly elected. lMcDill has sine
died and Cate, holding regular credentials
will, it is understood, still claim his seat
