JOCKEY RISES To

Curtis of Kansas, in assuming the
vice presidency Of the United States

Curtis, the public official. made
his appearance in 1884. He was
elected county attorney Of Shawnee
county. He followed that by elec-
ton to the house OF representatives.
then to the senate, and he ended
that service to become vice presi.
dent after years Of party leadership
in the upper branch.
Curtis brings peculiar fitness to
the semi administrative position OF
vice president. Eight terms In the
house and four IN the senate have
given him an expert knowledge OF
parliamentary law. and the gavel
in his hand as presiding officer Of
the senate will come down with the
emphasis OF conviction.
The stocky figure OF the former
jockey moves easily through crises.
His methods of controlling the ma
jority forces in the senate are es-
sentially his own. Quiet confer
ences in the back Of the chamber

and a striking efficiency In keeping
important things moving are not
able points Of his methods.
Curtis wife died in 1924. and his
home here is with his sister and
brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Everett Gam.
He has three children-Mrs. Par
melia George, Harry X. Curtis and
Mrs. Leona knight.
