little Middle Western town near Chicago,
and Senator Carter, although unusually
oppressed by business at the time, vol
unteered to accompany the family.
That they might not feel that he was
discommoding himself for them, the Sen
atOr announced in advance that he had
visits to make in an Ohio town and at
Chicago. He accompanied the family to
the home of the dead man, and-as they
have since said-was the soul Of COM

until long afterward that they learned
how the Senator had left his important
work to go with them

for sixteen hours against the measure,
