SENATOR GORE AND REPRESENTATIVE
SCHALI.
Nevertheless he gained an education
and graduated at the law by being
read to. He never attended a school
for the blind. He won well merited
reputation as a lawyer and was espe-
cially noted for his forensic ability. A
forceful speech he made while cam
paigning in Oklahoma won for him the
wife who has played so important
part in his advancement in political
life. She has been his eyes to him In
many ways Today Senator Gore is
one of the most popular orators in the
country. and his power of concentra-
ton and remarkable memory make
him a dangerous opponent in debate.

Schall depends largely upon his wife to

blindness in his young manhood
through an accident. lie was lighting
a cigar from an electric lighter and re-
ceived n shock that scared out his eyes.
He was practicim% law in Minneapolis
and was married at the time. He first
met his wife after an Oratorical con-
test, in which he carried off the prize.
He considers his real victory to be the
subsequent winning of his wife.
His success in his years of darkness
