FOR CONGRESS-.
DR.. Lewis Heisler Ball and Viii
liam Michael Byrne.
l.. Heisler Ball, NJ. D., the present
Congressman from Delaware, has
been the States only representative
in the national legislative halls for
the past two years, and none can say
that he has not faithfully looked
after the interests of the whole
people as well as it has been possible
to do.
DR.. Ball was born at Milltown,
this county, on September q, 1861
in the old Ball homestead which has
been in the possession of the Balls
since 1863. His father was John
Ball.
DR.. Ball was graduated from Della
ware College in the class of 1882
and was graduated in medicine from
the University Of Pennsylvania in
1855. Since that time he has prac-
ticed medicine in the vicinity of
Brandywine Springs, where he has
a lucrative practice. He is widely .
known throughout the State. In
1898 he was elected State treasurer .
and filled that Office with distinctive .
ability.
In 1900 he was elected Representa-
tive in Congress and during his term
he has been indefatiguable not only
in his general duties but particularly
In caring for the interests of Delaware
and De,awareans. Though it is u.s.

needs Of his State and fello W citizc rs
