SOUTH DAKOTA IN WASHINGTON

At the opening of the Sixty-fourth
Congress the entire South Dakota dele
cation was present, says a Washing
ton dispatch. The senior senator from
South Dakota, Senator Sterling, some
time ago purchased a bungalow at
2702 Thirty-sixth street, where the SEN
ator and Mrs. Sterling are nicely locat-
ed. The junior senator, Senator John
son. has taken a suite of rooms at the
Bellevue hotel, which will be the head
quarters of a great deal of social ac-
tivity during the winter. Congress
mar c. II. Dillon, of the first district,
is located for the present, at the Con-
~tinental hotel. Royal c. Johnson of
the second district rented a furnished
home at 1851 Eighteenth street, where
their two sons, are comfortably locat-
ed. Harry Candy, the democratic con
gresham from the third district, with
Mrs. Candy and their son, is stopping
at the Barnum apartments, which is
located near the House Office building.
The congressional directory of the
Sixty-fourth Congress, recently pub
lished, contains no unusual announce
ments OF the activities or character
istics of the South Dakota delegation,
except the one written by Senator
Johnson, which is attracting about as
much attention from the newspaper

correspondents in the city as the bio
graphies p~erpetrated by Cyclone Davis
and Alfalfa Bill Murray. In this direc.
tory, each senator and congressman,
at the request of the committee on
printing, is supposed to give his age,
details of his education, description of
previous offices held, and a little data
as to his family. All Of the South Da-
kota delegation, with the exception of
Senator Johnson, complied with thu re-
quest of the committee, while the sena-
tor, after considerable study, evoked
the following:
Edwin S. Johnson, of Yankton. s.
d.; democrat, born in Owen county,
Indiana, a long time ago. I was al
ways proud of my ancestors and my
family"
Newspaper correspondents In the
northwest familiar with the national
tiles Of that section of the country, as
shown by the last census, are hazard
ing many guesses as to the nationality
of the ancestors, in whom the senator
expresses so much pride and in trying
to determine the age Of the man born
"a long time ago."
