| Starts Political Career.
| Work first showed up in national
tpolitics in 1908 when he was chosen
ldelegate- -at-large from Colorado to
1.-THE Republican convention. Four
years later found him chairman of
the Colorado State Central c0m-
mittee.
| Another four years put him as a
Colorado member on the Republican
| National Committee. And from there
| he moved, when his party came into
power, into the first assistant post
master generalhsip.
Rather stockily built, Work has
taken on weight in his new 100.
Though past 81, his hair is still dark
and heavy in front He wears it
reached back from his forehead he
has a sizable bald spot at the back
which he makes no attempt to
camouflage.
| His mustache probably would be
Igray if it were long enough to show
color But he keeps it clipped to
what amounts to a stubble Of less
than a weeks growth.
His suits usually are dark, relieved
by pln-stripes Of white or gray A
lslash Of color brigbtens his fore-in-
hand ties. Narrow, horn-rimmed
glasaeg, held by light gold bows over
the ears, add to the habitual serious
tners Of his expression.
"How did you come to get into
Ipolitics?p Work was asked.
TITS everyone's duty to take an
Interest IN politics, he answered.
