SENATOR OVERMANiS STANDING
IN NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Of all the thirty-one Senators of the
class whose terms expire in 1915, none
is surer from indications to date to
succeed himself than the popular
Junior Senator from North Carolina,
Lee Slater Overman. Although serv-
ing the last year of his second term
Mr.. 0Verman is one of the veterans o.
the Senate, only fifteen of the ninety
five members of the body antedating
him in continuous service. 1t is Il
singular thing that the present Senate
has an unusually large proportion OF
members whose service is compare
lively brief. Over two-thirds of the
membership have served but one term
or less. So great a proportion of new
material the Senate has not had since
the very earliest days of it's history.
Consequently experience in that COS
tinuous legislative branch of the gov
eminent of peculiar value. When to
| experience is added high capacity,
| energy, fidelity to duty anu superior
tact, the Senator Inevitably becomes
one of the great fateors in American
institutions. Senator Overman fills
the measure of these attributes c.
worth in his public life as have done
but small group of men as the po-
litical kaleidoscope brings into view
in the elevated arena new faces and
| new characters,
From his earliest youth associated
with distinguished public men, having
been, soon after leaving college pri-
| vate secretary to the famous Zebulon
B. Vance, while he was governor OF
North Carolina, and serving In the
| same capacity for the succeeding gov
ernor, A. S. Merrimon, it was such en-
| vironment, rich in opportunity for
study of public service, that the pres
ent junior Senator got his rudiments
of official education. For ten years
thereafter he served in the legislature
of his state, and the last term as
