States senator-an ambition that never
left 1t, even in the darkest days that
followed.
In 1891 his fame as a speaker had
spread locally and he received many
invitations to address farmers picnics.
The last day of 1895 he left Mississip-
pi for Texas under a solemn vow
never to return to it unless as a Uni.
ted States senator.
That year in Texas was hard one.
Gore threw himself into politics with
passionate energy. Again and again
the family was reduced to the verge
of physical suffering. Yet year after
year they kept up the fight for exist
ence without complaint. Nor did the
blind lawyer once despair of reaching
the senate, writes James Creelman in
Pearson's Magazine.
When Mr.. Bryan was nominated at
Kansas City in 1900 Gore found his
way to the crowd that surrounded the
convention. He managed to live in
Kansas City for six days at a total
cost of $3.50. No one who heard his
voice ringing out over that scene OF
national enthusiasm was permitted to
know, or even suspect, his poverty,
Then he obtained an engagement in

state and presidential campaigns. In
this way he picked up 81 900 and with

given a seat in the territorial senate.
That summer the blind man had an.
other terrible struggle to keep alive,
One day in June he had only eight
cents left He held a war council
with his wife to consider what they
should do with the eight cents. 1t was
decided that the money should be
spent on postage in an effort to secure
speaking engagements. The political
fight had to be kept up at any cost.
The fight for seat in the United
States senate was now pressed sys-
tematically. Gore spent the year 1908
in widening his acquaintance, attend.
ing picnics, barbecues and county
fairs, lecturing for anything from So to

and smiling his way into their hearts.

THE BLIND SENATOR
Marvellous Career of Thomas p.
Gore of Oklahoma.
How He Won His Fight Against Pow
erty and Adversely, and Achieved
His Early Ambitions in Spite
OF Obstacles.

Oklahoma City, Okla-No man In
public life today has had a more re
markable career than Senator Thomas
Pryor Gore of Oklahoma, whose
charges of attempted bribery in con.
nection with the sale of Indian lands
stirred the country and brought about
investigation by congressional COM
mittee. Marvellous almost beyond be-
lief were the struggles of this blind
man-blind from early youth-to
reach the great goal of his ambition
a seat in the senate of the United
States.
Senator Gore was born on farm in
Mississippi in 1870, later being taken
to the village of Walthall, when the
latter was created. At the age of eight
one of his eyes was jabbed out by
playmate. But he still had one good
eye left and his grief was forgotten
when some friends told him one day
that he mad been appointed a page in
the Mississippi legislature. This career
was, however ended three years after

perimenting with a toy cross-bow, he

He was now totally blind, and had
to give up his pageship. For the next
five years his chief diversion was to
hear his sister and mother read to
him. Then normal school was opened
at his home town, and he entered, his
lessons being read to him at home and
by his schoolmates.
A debating society was organized in
this school and the blind boy joined
and displayed wonderful aptitude
for debate. One day a companion
found an old volume of the Congress
sional Record. Going to an old stable

speeches of the lawmakers at Wash.

fact, in 1897, when Mr.. w. A. Dckey who had
assembled the Susitani river and had located and
named Mount Mckinley upon returning to civili-
