Augusta. Me-, Jan. l5.-Former
Congressman Edwin Burleigh was
elected senator by the Maine Legis-
iature in joint session today.
The Washington herald., 1913-08-23

Of the Washington bureau. Mr.. Suter
stayed with the same management when
the Record and Times-Herald were
merged into the Record-Herald.
Mr.. Suter was one OF the organizers Of
the National Press Club, and has been
prominently and tellingly connected with
the growth OF the club. He has served as
a member of the board of governors and
was serving a term as vice president at
the time OF his elevation to the presi-
dency. His popularity with newspaper
men was further attested by his election
for two terms to the standing committee
OF correspondents in the CapiGC press GAL
leries. and his election as secretary by the
committee. As secretary OF the standing
committee he arranged for the seating Of
the press at the Republican and Demo
cratic conventions of last year, arrange
ments which met with an unusual degree
Of commendation from newspaper men
who gathered at these meetings from
every part OF the Union. He also ar
ranged for the seating Of the press at
the inauguration OF President Wilson last
March.
Mr.. Suter was active in his associa-
ton with William E. Curtis in the or
ganiZation of the Bureau OF American
Republics. from which grew the Pan
American Union OF today. He spent the
greater part Of 1891 and 1892 in this work,
and part of 1898 assisted in the organiza-
tion and management of the Latin-Ameri-
can bureau at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Suter is married and has three
children. He lives at 1912 Monroe Street
Northwest. He plans to take up his work
in the Department Of Justice as soon as
he can be relieved from his present work
with the Chicago Record-Herald bureau.
