Senator Davis is indeed a notable
example of the scholar statesman. His
craftsmanship is Of the high type that
IS founded on marked natural aptitude
Tor close study, and on a broad general
culture. When he takes up a subject.
1t is to exhaust it, and so far as one
characteristic can account for a. mans
success, probably he owes most to his
decision of purpose, his capacity for
delVing into and quickly disposing
OF matters that come before him. Ger

HAS THE EYE OF ALL SLATEMAKERS
Who Are Now Specializing the Possible and Prob
able Selections of President-elect ncKin-
ley for His Cabinet

When United States Senator Cush-
man K. Davis came to the front in the
Venezuelan controversy with Great
Britain with his mastery enunciation
of the Monroe doctrine, no less distin-
guished an authority than Alexander
K. Mcclure, of Philadelphia, in his
great Democratic paper declared:
mo public man of modern times has
so suddenly leaped into national fame
as Senator Davis, OF Minnesota, and
the nation more actively appreciates
his bold and patriotic position because
he did not seek in any way to make
himself conspicuous in the contro-
versy."
Senator Davis has demonstrated dur
ing the eight years of his service In
the United States senate that he is a
man of the whole people. AS mem
Der Of the most august legislative body
in the land, he has won the affection
of the people and the respect Of his
associates in that body, respect for his
craftsmanship, his scholarship, his 10y
atty and his admirable qualities as a
man. Minnesota is justly proud Of her
representative.
The life Of such a man must always
be viewed with an interest as keen as
his career is instructive and inspir-
ing. While many Of the older citizens
of st. Paul are more or less acquainted
with Senator Davis and aware of the
valuable services he has rendered his
state during the thirty years that he
has dwelt within it's borders, there are
many more people, especially of the
younger generation, who will doubtless
find pleasure and profit in familiariz-
ing themselves with a history Of this
mans brilliant career and descrip-
ton Of the personal traits, tastes and
character Of the man himself
Additional interest attaches at this
time to a sketch Of the life of Senator
Davis, inasmuch as the leading news
p%Srs of the country have invariably
included his name in the lists from
which it is conjectured that President
elect Mckinley will select his cabinet
and as many of the most influential Re
publicans Of the East have recommend
ed his appointment as secretary Of
state.
Cushman Kellogg Davis was born In
Henderson, Jefferson county, New
York, June 16, 1898. The same year his
parents moved to Wisconsin, which wa,s
then a territory, and located at Wau-
kesha, where his father, Horatio N
Davis, followed the occupation Of Il
farmer until about 1885,
Mr.. Davis attended the common
schools and then entered Carroll col
lege at Waukesha, where he remained
for three years, preparing himself for
the University Of Michigan, from which
institution he was graduated in 1857
Thus equipped to begin the study OF
the profession that might prove most

and pen were in frequent demand on
occasions of public ceremony, and he
always filled the full measure Of the oc-
casion-thus constantly increasing and
extending his oratorical fame. He was
also an interested, active participant in
public affairs. In 1881, Gov. Davis
worked successfully for the nomination
and election of his old-time friend and
supporter, Gen. l.. f. Hubbard, as gov
ernor. In 1884, the Blaine men Of Min
nesota selected G. Il. Davis as their
standard bearer and sent him as a del
egate at large to the Chicago conven-
ton. Here he made the principal
nominating speech for Blaine, and con-
tributed largely to his nomination.
Throughout every campaign for the
Republican party he was on the stump
especially advocating the doctrine of
protection at a time when 1t was not
conductive to any speakers political
prospects to do so in this state.
The defeat Of the Republican ma
tfonal ticket at the polls in November,
for the first time since 1860, was a Sc
we're blow to Gov. Davis feelings, but,
as 1t turned out, it was really help to
his future career. BY the advent of
Democratic president, the federal Of
ficials throughout the state, who had
uniformly opposed his every candidacy
since he ran for governor in 1873, were
displaced. Meantime, the conductors
OF weekly RepuDncan newspapers or
the state, had come to regard him as
an exponent of pure politics and indie
pendent Republicanism. Their in
fuence could now be exerted untram-
meled. At last it was triumphant.
During all of 1885, the state press,
with striking una nimity advocated the
election Of c. X. Davis as United States
senator. When the legislature of 1887
met, 1t was found that the sentiment
in his favor was so strong among the
members, that Senator Mcmillan grace
fully withdrew as a candidate for a
third term, and on the roll being called
in the Republican legislative caucus,
Gov. Davis received every vote. The
legislature confirmed the caucus de-
cision and he was elected for the term
of six years commencing March 4, 1887
Senator Davis fame had preceded him.
He received a hearty welcome from
his 1lluStriouS compeers in the United
States senate, and was soon assigned
to positions of commanding influence
seldom conceded to new men there. An
early and conclusive evidence of his
prompt recognition was his appoint

During the tariff legislation, which
resulted in the Mckinley bill, Senator
Davis attacked the binding Irvine trust,
insisting that it was not entitled to pro-
lection. He made an elaborate speech
on that subject attacking the trust,
ana IN consequence the duty was re-
duced from two and one-half cents to
seVen-tenths Of a cent a pound; the
trust went to pieces and binding Irvine

Senator Davis illustrated his Ameri-
canism by his speech in the senate de-
hvered in the month Of April, 1892. 1t
was called out by the proposition Of
Herr Cahensly, a member of the Ger
man parliament, appealing to the for
eign nations to denationalize American
institutions by planting colonies on our
soil in compact masses, so as to per-
petuate foreign customs, languages and
allegiance through generations yet I'M
born. This scheme was denounced by
Senator Davis in a speech which at
tracted profound attention at home and
abroad, for 1t was given great circu-
lation in Europe, by translation into
many foreign languages

approached it's conclusion it became
evident that he was practically the

a memorable one in the career Of Mr.
Davis, for it also witnessed the begin

to it with pardonab BILE pride as the year
in which he cast the first vote Of his
life for Abraham Lincoln, and as the
year In which he participated in the
campaign, and, though but twenty two

So far all was well. The trouble COM
menced as soon as the minister tried
to put the citizens head under the
water. The citizen apparently did not
object to standing in the water up to
his ears, but further or rather deeper,
he did not wish to go. Finally, as
last resort the minister placed his hand
on his head and began to bear down.
As he did so the citizens mass of hair
slipped from his head and the minister
found himself standing with a Wig IN
his hand, while the bald head OF the
citizen doomed up conspicuously. At
ter this there was no trouble about get
