lectual face, blue eyes, and long, thick

many years ago he was the driver of A
street car in Chicago. He entered ward

gressioral district as he had on his car.
He has unquestiOned ability as a public
speaker, but rarely displays il in the
House At a dinrer given TO the Illinois
delegation recently. Lorimer made the
speech of the evening. 1t called attention
TO our defenSeless condition on the north

OF a canal from Lake Michigan to the
MISSISSIPPI. With such a canal the gov

could reach II by the ST. Lawrence They
would not only protect our defenseIess
cities on the Lakes. but threaten those
owned by the Canadians, and in time of
war might give US another Perry's vic
tory. Although born in England the
speech proved that Lorimer is thorousbIv
American in heart. No man in the House

A few Congressman content themselves

Seth Milliken, he engineered the construc-
tlon OF scores Of public buildings scatter
ed throughout the country not forget

ousles were allayed and everybody seemed
pleased. Mercer is heavy man, with a
round face and the manner of an unas-
sum1nS farmer. Good humor sduats on
every lineament of his countenance. He
carries himself well on the floor and Is
unusually successful in legislation. He
married a handsome and ACCOMPLISHED
woman while In Washington, and is
favorite in the House. He champions his
dis with characteristic pluck and ability
and is forcible and effective speaker.
One of the most pleasing figures on the
ladder Is that of John Sharp Williams. of

Congress six years ago. He first attracted
the attention of the House in midnight
