Ieryone feel glad he was in Kentucky
His delivery was good. and the ex-
preston he put into bis Grafton was
a factor in gaining the decision for

splendid style. and he evinced every
hope. that Kentucky Is able to come
forward In educational lines.

Working Man" as his subject. and
his manner of treatment showed his
sympathy. II was a good subject
and the young orator was clear and
bold in his remarks on the condition

Reelected to the senate in 1878,
1854, 1890, 1895 and 1902.
Present term in the senate will ex-
pire March 3. 1909.
Washington, March 3.-Senator
Allison is 10 years old and received
the congratulations of his colleagues.
Today he completed his fthirty-fifth
year in the senate. which breaks all
records. He has been in congress
forty-three years.
Senator Allison Is closely pressed
for the honor OF second place by Sen
ator Cullom, of Illinois, who will be
az years old next November. Sen
ator Cullom still has five years of his
present term TO serve, which will
make him "a years old on his retire
ment in 1918. Senator Teller. OF

ranks fifth in age. II; Senator Platt,
of New York, sixth, IS years. and

IL Senator Allison outlives hil
present term, which will end just one
year from now, he will have served
A years in congress, eight years in
the house and thirty-six in the senate
This will rival the historic record Of
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont. but the
latter's forty-four years were con
tinuous, which Senator Allison can
hardly hope to equal, for an interva
OF two years occurred between Ali
sons eight years OF house and then
went directly TO the senate, where he
had served thirty-two years up to tho
time of his death in 1898. Senator
Morrill, was IS years old when he died
and had he lived out his full term in
the senate he would have been 90
years old at its expiration in 1908.
A year ago it seemed a safe bet
that Senator Allison would be re-.
elected to the senate when his presen.
ter mexpires. Now, in view Of the
aspirations Of Goyrnor Cummins and
the factional strife among Iowa Re-
.publicans, Allison's reelection doe
not appear to be such a certainty.
