Where Jacob Fl. Gallinger
Spends Hia summer
Time and How
HC Works.

IOWH VI DdlihuuHy' ue place OF MS
rusticating is a rugged farm and old
fashioned farm house Ia shat strictly
farming community, and his summer
home, no more pretentious than that
Of any Of Die neighbors, is 4 most
welcome place for visitors. Here he
throws aside all care, is OF Of doors
reclperating from his winters work,
and Is free from the calla Of 3 profes-
sional life.
Always approaehable, he seems to
enjoy more the calls aud visits of
neighbOrs and friends when he is up
on the farm than At any other time.
Never entirely resting, he has map
ped out for this vacation some i'm
portant work TO be thought Of during
the hours when he is free from inter.
ruPtion. He will undoubtly compile
material for series of speeches to be
made the coming political campaign.
Whenever the party in New
Hampshire will permit him to acce pit
invitations from the Republicans of
other States to address them this fall
is doubtful; for the demand to see
and hear him in New Hampshire will
mOnOpOlize all his time both day and
night until the election is over.
If Senator 1allinger need the as
Rurance that he is the most popular
Republican in New Hampshire, he
had it at the last Repu blicsn State
convention held in Concord to elect
delegates to the national convention
at st. Louis. The ovation given him
when he arose to address that conven-
ton has never been surpassed in the
history of the party in this State.
1t was his first public appearance
before u body of representative Re-
publicans from all sections of the
State since the memorable record
that he made in the Senate on the
tariff debate, ana the impromptu
greeting was as hearty as it was
spontaneous, and it satisfied all OBJ.
servers that he is the choice of an
overwhelming majority Of the Re-
publican Party as his own successor
in the United States Senate. It was
as grand tribute as was ever be-
slowed upon public man in New
Hampshire, and it was the heart
felt expression of affection and de-
votion felt by every member Of that
great convention. sif
Throughout Senator Gallinger'u
long and evsntful career be hasearned
by hard labor and haId der knocks
every political honor that has been
conferred upon him. Step by step,
through the lower branch of the
Legislature, the Constitutional Con.
ventiOn, the State Senate, the Chal.
manship Of the Republican State
Committee, the national House Of
Representatives, he has risen to the
highest Office in the gift of the PEG.
pie of the State, the United States
Senate, and Is peculiarly fitting al
this time, after nearly q quarter of 3
century of public service, that BIZ
second election to the United Slater
Senate should come as . spontaneoul
gift of the Republicans Of the State.
1t shows the appreciation in which
his services are held by those whC
know him best, by those who have
been associated with him in msny
hArd.fought campaigns, by those WHIT
have had abundant proof Of his 10y
atty, and by those who have known
the value Of his public services. Hi
life work has been the the services o
others, and never in his long cereel
has he done favor for great or small
in any grudging spirit. In DO Plae'
is be more popular or stronger thar
in his own home, the capital city o.
State. His popularity has not beer
attained by avoiding controversies.
From his first start IN ward poll
tlcs until the present time he ha
been in the forefront Of every i'm
portant political controversy, and
has never shrunk from taking re
Sponsibility. To-day, without re
gard to party, the people Of New
Hampshire take pride in his public
career, and in the national rsputa
ton that he has made IN boil
branches of Congress.
There one man loved by the peO'
pie of Massachusetts,, now dead, the
late Gov. GresnhSlge, whom b
closely resembled in personal ap
pearance and toward whom be bor'
a striking similarity in other respects
Each had that genial Temperament
which lightens labor and makes
friendships; each was OF the common
people, self-made and broadening
with riLenine years; each was earn.

attachment and loyalty Of friends
without effort.
