No member of the senate-it might
be said, no man in public life-is more
approachable than Senator Allison.
There is never any question as to
whether he will be in a good or ill

or rebuff. James G. Blaine once said,
of him: "a man could scarcely be bet

or more sought after guest among the

said that his living expenses probably
do not amount to over $4,000 year.
