One of the most popular men in
the lower house of congress is Will
liam B. Mckinley, who halls from
Champaign, III. He calls himself a
farmer, which means that he spends
his leisure time, when not in Wash
ington, on an extensive estate which
is cultivated on up-to-date and scien-
tific principles. 1t costs him a good
deal of money, but this is not a
matter of Importance. Most of his
wealth is invested in an interurban
system of trolleys. Mckinley is not
in politics for any serious purpose,
but for the fun he can get out of it.
The time he devotes to his legisla-
tive duties would probably be worth
100000 year to him if he choose
to eXpend it in other ways Another
100000 a year he gives away
chiefly to friends of his who happen
to want the money. Anybody he
knows who happens to be in a hole
financially can go to genial Bill Nc
Kinley and get substantial help.
A Tammany Silk Stocking.
One of the handsomest men in the
house is Francis Burton Harrison
smooth-faced, well-built, SO years of
age, and a graduate of Yale In the
Spanish war he enlisted as a private
in Troop A, New York Volunteer
Cavalry, and was promoted to cap
taincy. He belongs to Tammany
Hall, though of the silk stocking"
stripe, and is thought to be a COM
ing man. Indeed, the New York
crowd at Denver wanted him for
vice-president
Hamilton Fish is another repre-
sentative of Fifth avenue in congress
though in geographical sense he
pertains to the town of Garrison, N.
Y, and was born in Albany in 1849,
while his father was governor of that
state. When his father, Hamilton
Fish, was secretary of state under
Grant, from 1869 to 1871, young
Ham, as he was called, served as
his private secretary. He was ap-
pointed assistant treasurer at New
York in 1903 by Mr.. Roosevelt. In
congress he is distinguished as hard
worker, never being absent for a
minute while the house is in session.
His wealth is estimated at $1,000
600,
Another millionaire representative
is Everis A, Hayes of San Jose, Cal.
Many years ago he became interest
ed in the wonderful iron deposits of
the Gogebic range, in northern Wis
consin and Michigan, before many
people had come to know the wealth
that might be derived from them.
From this source he drew a large for
tune, and since then he has been ex-
tensively engaged in the Embarrassing
business in California.

Wealthy men are invading the
house of representatives, and that

than at any previous time in it's his
tory. One of the very wealthy men
in the country, writes Rene Bache,
is a representative in congress from
Yonkers, n. Y. His name is John
E. Andrus, and his wealth is esti-
mated at $60,000,00O. He is a
chemical king, controlling to a great
extent the production of medicinal
drugs in the United States. Nearly
all of the pepsin manufactured in
America comes from his mills
whence the name "Old Chewing
Gum" applied to him iokingly by his
fellow-cOngressmen, though, as a
matter of fact, he puts on the market
no such commodity. 1t is no small

Worked For 81 "a Day.
One of the most remarkable men
in the present house is Daniel F.
Lafean, of York, Pa He likewise
was a born fortune builder. He
started in life as driver of a coal cart
at s. a day. Every cent he possess
es he has made for himself, and his
wealth today amounts to not less
than 100000. He owns silk mills,
banks, dairies and automobile fac
tories; but industrially speaking he
is chiefly conspicuous as the candy
king. Lafean owns candy factories
in Philadelphia, York and Lancaster,
employing 5000 or 1000 people.
Butler Ames, of Lowell, Mass, un-
like Mr.. Lefean, did not have to make
his own fortune. But though worth
100000 or 100000 he does
not pursue the ways Of idleness by
any means. In moments not occu=

DANBuRY ON AUTO ROUTE.
Will Be Southern Gateway to Berk-

Through the efforts of Frank A.
Cantwell manager of the Hotel Green,
Danbury is to occupy an important po-
sition upon one of the principal auto
mobile touring routes of New England
next season and the result is expected
to be that many more touring parties
will come here than in past seasons.
Mr.. Cantwell is one of the most ac-
tive and enthusiastic members of the
New England Hotel association, which
is constantly striving to promote the
business interests of it's members by
stimulating travel and hotel patronage
in its territory, and he was member
of a committee which met at the Coo
of a committee representing the asso-
citation which met at the Cooley house
in Springfield, Mass, yesterday with
the publishers of the automobile Blue
Book, the leading guide book for au-
tomobile tourists. The purpose of the
meeting was to lay out three New
England tours for automobilists that
will be featured in the 1910 edition of
the publication. A route from New
York to the Berkshires, with Danbury
the southern gateway to the latter re-
gion, was championed by Mr.. Cantwill
with such good effect that it was
adopted by the meeting as one of the
three principal touring routes of New
England.

AS Judged from Worcester.

The election expense account filed by
Eugene N. F'oss, democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor shows an eX
penditure of $41,757. The sum is about
eight times that expended by Governor
Draper. How far Mr.. Foss was the
good angel of the democracy is made
clear by the fact that ne donated $21.-
900 toward the party expenses; $4,000
was paid to the newspapers for adyer-
Using. Mr.. Toss might have spent
more and Jared worse. AS far as. his
expenditures were a force in cutting
the rockingham plurality from $4,000
TO 5000, the work was done by the
newspaper advertising, whereby that
republican revision of the tariff was
shown up in something near the way
that it deserved to be shown up. The
popular resentment against such tariff
revision came out considerably strong
er than it could otherwise.
We believe that it would be hard for
Mr.. Foss or anybody else save the
direct recipients of the cash to point
out the good done by the S21 900 dona-
tion to the democratic party. The re-
publican re0uhe was sound one. but
1t was not rebuke of Governor ORA :
per. Had there been any real desire
on the part of voters TO defeat him.
he would have fallen easily Though
lncensed at the republican revision of
the tariff, every republican voter of in
telligence knew that state and not ma
tional issues were at stake. and that
as between Draper and Valley, there
was no reason for second thought as
to which man should be chosen. The
time has not yet come when a man of
Mr.. Valleys stamp can be chosen over
a man of the Draper build by dint of
the use of $4,000 or $500, 900 in this
state OF Massachusetts. At this dis
lance from the contest it is very ap-
parent that Mr. Foss could have spent
his money to much better advantage
by staying in his own party and using
the cash for that party's purgation

grab and steal-Worceste Gazette
