NEW GRANITE STATE SENATOR.

The new Senator from New Hampshire
can sit in the grandfather row. The bluff
old bachelor W II celebrate his oighty-eighth
birthday in August. Senator Payne and
Senator Morrill, are each year older than
Scnator-elect Marston and this trio are the
three oldest men In the Senate. As all old
bachelors should be he is crusty, but they
say that his heart is really quite as big as
his brainy head. He is about the foremcs.
jurst in New Hampshire and great whist
dcvotec. When Governor Sawyer selected
General Marston to succeed Senator Chand-
Ter he did about what he was expected to
do. General Marston has been in the New
Hampshire Legislature pretty near always
save when he was lighting quarter century
ago and winning his general straps in 1862.
In personal appearance he is one of your
Santa Claus sort Of men, bluff and hearty,
high colored and white-haired.
The kind of stout, hearty, bright old
men, old enough to be grandfathcrs but
who are not, that make the Is-marriage-a-
failure problem the more pcrplcxing by
showing that batchelorhood isn't always q
failure. Though his thorough Republi-
canism has never been doubted, IL has been
thought previously, when the General was
candidate for Senatorial honors, that he
had too much independence OF thought and
action for that sedatc body and was too
likely to get over the party traces in mt
tcrs Of judgment OF minor Importance.
Too hard TO lead. And this has doubles,
kept the General out OF the Senate till
now. The General is not club man,
nor particularly fond of being con
stantly surrounded with troops
Of friends, and the reporters will
probably find him of but little use from
their point of view. But despite his great
age he is a hard and mcthodical worker and
his legal ability will put him In an ini
portant place in the next Senate. General
Marston was born in Oxford In 1871, grad
uated from Dartmouth in 1897, and from
IIarvards Law School three years later;
elected to the Legislature in 1915, Congress
in 1853, and again in 1864, and defeated for
