SENATE YOUNGSTERS
AMONG STRONGEST
Ashurst, Sheppard, and Lea
Are Still in Thirties, But
Weld Political Power.

Senator Henry Ashurst, the black
eagle of Arizona, and one of the most
luxuriant and verbiferous of orators
in the upper chamber; the dapper Nor
ris Sheppard of Texas, successor Of
Bailey, and a man who can twist the
English language into flowers and bou-
tonnieres; and Luke Lea of Tennessee,
newspaper owner and progressive
Democratic leader-these are the three
youngest men in the Senate, and Incl
dentally three of its strongest men.
Senator Ashurst. who is thirty-nine
years ole, has been in the Senate since
the Arizona-New Mexico Statehood bill
passed more than a year ago. He Is a
sworn enemy of the plutocrats and the
nnei ehe sadPIcai PoeT Demaerat aI in ths Senate
He is, with his black sombreroi his
Prince Albert coat, and his breezy
ARIZONA way of putting things, one OF
the Senate's most picturesque. figures.
Senator Sheppard is well known in
this city through his long service as a
Congressman, and when he announced
his entrance in the lists against the
redoubtable Joe" Bailey, many Of his
friends shivered with apprehension, for
they thought the impetuous, arrogant
Sheppard. however, knew exactly what
he was doing. and demonstrated that
physical stature-he is but little over
five feet In height-has little to do with
political stature. He is thirty-nine
years old and looks at least five years
Younger. Politically he stands with the
radical wing of the Democracy.
Senator Lea, who is only thirty-four
years old. has been In the Senate nearly
two years and has made more friends
in that period. probably. than any other
Senator in the city. He has rare sue
cess as a harmonizer. owing to his in
Eratiating personality, and is generally
found with the Progressive Democrats
when the voting test comes. He is a
newspaper owner of Nashville, and Is
a close friend to the new President. He
f5 at present backing Joe" Wilson s
candidacy for the Secretaryship of the
Senate. He attracted the attention OF
the nation some months ago when he
sacrificed nearly quart of blood to
save the life of his wife, who was lying
at the point of death in Nashville
hospital. The TRANSMISSION was success
