The Salt Lake Tribune gives portrait
and the following brief sketch OF the new
president of the Senate:
"Mr. Bavard is Democrat Of large
views and dignitied antecedcnts. Although
Il decided party man, he does not appear to
be a factionst as clearly evinccd by his
readiness to accept in good faith from the
present Administration any measure that
is plainly calculated to benefit the country
at large.
Senator Bayard, who is gentleman OF
high character and the most sterling at
tainments, was born in Deleware, October
,0th, 1898. Having graduated early, he
commenced the practice ci' the law in 1891,
when he was hut twentv-threc ,ears ot age,
and with suc', success that two years sub
>cquentlv, he was appointed United Sts'cs
District Attorney, which position he held
until 1884, when he resigned il, dcvoting
himsclfto the ordinary work OF his profess
sion. In 1860, Mr.. Bavard entered on his
first Senatorial term, impres~ing his col
leagues most favorab'v not only with hi,
cloquence, but sound common sense. Tic
