REAL AMERICANS IN SENATE
several Members of Upper House of
Congress Can Trace Ancestry
Back to Red Men.

The original Americans of them all,
The only ones whose fOrefathers never
we're immigrants, within the modern
meaning of the term, the Indians,
nave their representatives in congress.
Not all are full-blOOded, perhaps, but
4 number of congressman can trace
their ancestry back to the red men
ana all are proud of it.
One such has been Senator Moses Z.
Clapp of Minnesota, who has just
been succeeded by Frank b. Kellogg,
VINO won a reputation as the trust
buster of the department of justice.
Mr. Clapp was one of the best-knOwn
senator's in congress, having entered
hat body in 1901. He was one of
three senators serving in the upper
house of congress who have Indian
blood in their veins
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas
IS Kaw Indian and his descent is
readily shown by his coal black hair
and swarthy complexion. AS a boy
curtis was a jockey and later drove
cab in Topeka. One of his custom
ars was A. II. Case, a prominent law
yer of that city, who noticed the studi-
Ous habits of young Curtis and fire.
luently saw him reading by his cab
lights while waiting for q fare Case
became interested in the young fell
low and took him into his office to
study law. Curtis accepted the OPP
pOrtunity, qualified for the bar and
became a well-knOwn member of the
profession. In politics he was very
successful and his ability is recOg-
nized among his colleagues in the SEN
ate.
Senator Robert L. Owen of Okla
hOma also is of Indian origin. His
mother was a Cherokee and Owen
was educated at Washington and Lee
university in Virginia. After gradu-
ating in law he went to MuskOgee to
begin practice and there became rec
ognized as a leader of the bar. Owen
has represented his tribe frequently
in litigation and at one time he made
an argument before the United States
Supreme court which won for him
the praise of the chief justice. owen
concluded his argument with a perO-
ration on the Indian which not only
did much to win the case for him, but
which the chief justice afterward said
was one of the most effective argu-
EentS ever made before the court.
