The Congressional Directory discloses
the fact that Senator Beveridge of India
ma is not the youngest man in the Sen
ate, as has been claimed, for, according to
his biography, which by the way, is the
briefest in the book, he was born in 1862,
and, is therefore, 81 years old. Senator
Butler, the Populist from North Carolina,
is one year yonger, having been born in
1868. Senator Penrose of Pennsylva-
MIA and McLaurin of South Carolina, are
only two years older than Senator Bever
idge and there are several other Senators
within few years Of the age of the In
diana man. There have been younger
men in the Senate than either Mr.. Bevcr-
idge or Mr. Butler. Henry Clay was
only 80 years old when he entered the
Senate, while Andrew Jackson was only
81, Alexander Hamilton was 80 when he
was appointed Secretary of the Treasury.
Thomas Jefferson was only 81 when he
wrote the Declaration Of Independence.
