The others are like or intermediate

most of them arc large may be due 10
another fact, most congressman are big
men physically. To the man who
studies the congressman as type there
| Will soon come the conviction that he
wins largely through his physique. At
any rate the vast majority of the mem.
bers are large men. Many arc towering
giants above six feet and large iu pro-
portion, handsome, curly haired men
whose very physical force and attract
iveness has ridden down their oppo-
nents. The average are, however
heavy, blocky men, well padded with
flesh, men III whom are combined genial
dispositions and great force. The av-

sprinkliug of the slim, wiry man, who
depends upon his very wit or upon
cunning TO hold his place instead OF

is responsible for the size of his head
rather than any special mental quail
