before the national convention In 1883
and again in 1896. Shortly after his
first election to the house of repre-
sentatives, Allison's ability was recog-
nized by his appointment to the ways

~ secured the confidence of the lead
ers Of his party, and it was Senator
Allison as much as any man then in
the service Of the people who planned
and carried through all the great
measures for the conduct of the civil
war, the reestablishment of the ma.
tional credit and the development of
the national resources. He was a
contemporary of and co-laborer with
every one of the great men whose
services now are recognized as of in
estimasable value to the nation-Lin-

His aid in the nomination of Lin

of that body but held the record be.
yond all others for length of service
There. More important still, his sew.
ice in the senate was such that his
title to the position depended not
alone upon his advanced age or ex,
tended service. Senator Allison was
at the time of his death, and had
been for third of century, a leader
in fact as well as in name.
Senator Allison entered the senate
March 4, 1873, by appointment to
succeed Senator Harlan of Iowa,
and had served continuously ever
since, making the longest period as a
member OF that body ever covered by
any individual When he died he had
just completed the fifth month of the
Seth year of his occupancy of this
important post. His present term
would have expired March 4, 1909
but he had already been nominated
for still another term. Thus, il
death had not interfered, his service
in the senate was assured until March
| 4, 1915. If he had lived until that
date he would have just completed
his AID year in the senate Fol-
many years, Senator Allison was
chairman of the republican caucus OF
the senate, Of the republican steering
committee and the committee on ap
preparations. He also had been fol
more than 80 years a member of the
committee on finance, and during
much of that time held the second pc
sition on that committee. BY virtue
OF his position as chairman cf the re
publican caucus and especially the
steering committee, he was the tech
meal leader of the senate and by yir
tue of his abilities he shared the real
leadership of that body with only
one or two others. AS chairman oil
the steering committee, he was per
mitted to select his own associates
and thus he became in a peculiar
sense the arbiter of the fortunes oil
legislation in the senate, for, as is
generally nnown, this committee, al
though not recognized by law, prac
tically determines what important
bills shall be passed and what shall
be either defeated or allowed to die
1t was the steering committee more
than any other sub-organization OF
the senate which directed the legisla,
ton in connection with the Spanish
American war

country. AS an Iowa delegate to the
republican convention in Chicago that
year he joined other party leaders
who had determined upon the nomin-
alton of Lincoln and by their united
efforts their object was attained.
When the war broke out he was Sc
lected by Governor Kirkwood as a
member of the latter's staff for the
purpose of raising troops. In those
| trying times he demonstrated his I'M
swerving loyalty to his nation and his
Willingness to make any personal
sacrifice if only the nation he loved
might gain. On the ways and means
committee of the national house he
began the career which made him the
best authority in the country upon
revenues and expenditures of the gov
eminent. For more than 40 years he
was assigned by the judgment of HIS
colleagues in the house and senate to
the responsible task of obtaining rev.
enues and supervising expenditures,
and no man who ever had a part in
this work had the confidence of both
! houses more completely. Careful
/ scrutiny OF thousands of items which
make up the annual appropriation
bills requires a most painstaking la
Dor, together with broad intelligence.

CAREER OF DEAD SENATOR TELLS
GREAT HISTORICAL
STORY.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The death Of
Senator Allison removes from the sen
ate ran who for more than a quar-
ter of a century was one of its most
prominent members. He had served
continuously since 1878 and for the
greater part of his term of service
was recognized as one of the most
influential members of that body. As
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations much of the financial legis-
lation passed through his hands. He
had not been in good health for some
time past and this fact had given rise
to some speculation as TO whether he
would be a candidate for reelection,
his term expiring March 8, 1909.

To Senator Allison more especially
than to any other man who ever &C

the title of father of the senate. He
