WASHINGTON, April 27.-"Minne-
sofa has two strong men in the SEN
ate" said Senator Allison, of Iowa, to-
day THE senior senator from Mime
sofa, Senator Davis is very we'll known
throughout the entire country as a
man of personal qualities Of superior
nature, and of high courage. No one
of this generation will ever forget the
manly attitude taken by him at the
time of the disturbances a few years
ago when his constituents at Duluth
telegraphed him to support the Kyle
resolution. Since that time by contin-
uous service In the senate he has dem
onstrated to all of his colleagues his
superior ability as a lawyer and as
an international lawyer BY unani-
nous consent of the senate although
there are four parties or factions in
that great body at the present time,
Senator Davis was made chairman of
the foreign relations committee, to sue
ceed Senator Sherman when he became
secretary Of state. That was a very
high compliment indeed, but it was
we'll merited
the senate has discovered also to be a
man of superior ability. He is one Of
the most steady and persistent workers
1 have ever seen in this body during
a continuous experience here Of more
than twenty-four years. I never knew
before a new senator to secure the
adoption of so important a measure
as Senator Nelson has recently done.
We have had the bankruptcy bill be-
fore the senate and house Of repre-
sentatives for number Of years, but
neither body has been able to secure
the adoption of suitable measure. We
had a bankruptcy bill before the senate
which was favorably reported from the
committee on the judiciary, and under
ordinary circumstances it might have
been expected to be passed by the SEN
ate. But Senator Nelson brought in a
substitute, and so eloquently and ably
did he present the merits Of his meas
