Gov. J. A. o. Preus of Minnesota,
who is contemplating resigning the
office to be appointed United States
senator, if a ruling on the legality OF
such a course Is obtainable. Is
prominent figure in the northwest and
is well known among the senior cleri-
cal forces of Congress, since he once
resided here.
His name is pronounced Price" and
they mostly call him Jake" If ap-
pointed, he will come as regular"
republican and follow in the foot
steps of the late Senator Nelson, of
whom he was a protege.
One of the senior clerks at the
Capitol, recalling Gov. Preus' OFF,
cial life in Washington, said:
Coming to Washington as a clerk
with Senator knute Nelson some
years ago as political appointee,
PreuS soon established himself as one
of the most popular of Il well known
group at the Capitol, among whom
were numbered Edward Clark, then
secretary to Senator Lodge and now
President Coolidge; Z. L. Cornelius,
afterward for brief time sergeant
at arms of the Senate; Tom Grant.
then secretary to Senator AlGer and
later for many years secretary or the
Washington Chamber of Commerce:
Walter w. Husband, then secretary
to Senator Dillingham;. and now COM
missioner general of immigration
Arthur Shelton, the diplomatic secre-
tary of Senator Aldrich. and now sec
retary of the Columbia Country Club.
and the mainStay Of the executive
force Of the Court of Customs Appeals.
"Preus invariably hastened back to
his home state on the adjournment
of Congress, where his services as a
speaker were utilized by the state
republican committee. He added to
his wide circle of friends wherever
he spoke, and, when the opening
came, was made insurance commits
Sioner for the state, position he
filled with the same ability that has
characterized his work as governor.
His election to the latter position was
followed this fall by reelection.
Such a rise will be eQualed only SO
far by the case of Arthur Pue Cor
man of Maryland, who sat as a SEN
ator in the halls where he had served
as page. On the House side in
stances are perhaps more numerous,
as in the case of Asher Kinds, one
time protege of Tom Reed, who later
came 10 Congress as a repre- sentative
from the district which had selected
Mr.. Reed for so many terms. and AL
bert Il. Dawson, now a prominent
banker of Davenport, at one time

preparations, who came back to Con-
greSS as a representative for three

mission or any of its duly authorized
