NEW SENATOR is MODEST
Senator Clapp will leave fer wasbine-
ton to assume his new duties Saturdev
night. AS the present session of cor
eress is SO far spent he will not take

10 the G e Senator Clamp stated
yesterday:
wish to express a deep sense of graf
ltude to all my friends, and especially to
my st. Paul friends who stood so loyal "
especially thank the press here in st.
Paul and throughout the state, that raj,
lied so strongly to my support, and saw
that my victory affords another demon
stration of the power of the country
press.
1T is gratifying to ME that the cam
palgn was SO unusually free from any
personal bitterness and leaves no
breaches in the party to be healed. The
sterling integrity of the man who gave
me such a close fight, Mr.. Evans.
coupled with his strong personality, are
matters which cannot be overlooked in
reviewing the heat of the contest.
In going to Washington 1 go as a
stranger to the status of federal legisla-
ton, and have, therefore, no course to
outline at this time. shall be content
TO take up the matters as they present
themselves to me. The senate Is a con-
servative body and my friends will have
to be patient, while 1 am one of its new
est members. l shall simply do the best
that can under all circumstances.
