Wyoming's Senator-Designate
Man Who Fits Into Politics
O'Mahoney Reputation
for Democratic 10y

Career Started as Re-
porter and Studying Lao
in Massachusetts.
BY GRACE HENDRICK EUsTIs.

Joseph C. OMahoney, First Assistant
Postmaster General, Irishman, lawyer.
| former newspaper man and astute poll
tician, will replace the senior United
States Senator John B. Kendrick of
Wyoming, who died November 3. Ills
appointment by Gov. Leslie A. Miller
will become effective in January.

Though he comes to the Senate with
the smell of sage brush in his hair, he
has not lost his suavity.
Born in Chelsea, Mass, November S,
1884, he first stepped out in the world
as reporter on the Cambridge Demo-
crat, while he was student at the
Cambridge Latin School. For the next
few years he split his time between
studying law and reporting. In 1908
came the call of the West, and he
moved to Boulder, Colo, where he be-
came city editor of the Boulder Herald.
Here the lure of politics seeped into
his blood, and fields began to open up
before him. Attractive, able, with his
Celtic sixth sense translated into po-
litical acumen, he realized that in the
West lay his chances. First he en-
listed in work for Theodore Roosevelt
In 1912 In 1915 he devoted his sup
port to Woodrow wilson, and his po-
htical loyalty became Democratic,
where 1t has firmly remained.
Makes Home in Cheyenne.
He left Boulder in 1915 and went to
Cheyenne, Wyo., to become city editor
of the Cheyenne State Leader. Here
he decided to establish himself. He
became a friend of the picturesque
Senator Kepdrick, and when the latter
went to the Senate in 1917 he took
the active young Irishman with him as
his secretary. While Mr.. O'Mahoney
was attending to this task, he also
studied law at the Georgetown Uni
versity and took his degree in 1920
Then he returned to Cheyenne, where
he opened up his own law Offices.
He took an energetic part in the

you mentioned several occasions,
Mr.. Palmer" the detective said, ION
which Buckley inquired about the
affairs of the fraternity. No doubt,
you also discussed this subject at
other times in your conversations.
What ! want to know Is whether he
ever asked about your private busi-
ness those secrets known only
to the chapter. Your signs of recOg-

failed to ring true.

ed to Buckley. But Palmer's impress
sion of once telling his friend the
fraternity's rules on attendance was
the only tangible item he elected.
Nevertheless in the end, Rankin
was satisfied that Buckley obtained
from him the knowledge that he
needed to enter the chapter room
and approach Jordan.
But this accumulation Of incrim-
mating proof was worthless, he real
lied, if Buckley could not have
reached the fraternity house by
eight-forty-five the night before. He
must have arrived then, the second
late conner, according to Lew Kurly,
guarding the chamber door, or not
at all. Obviously, he was not pres
ent at the roll-call at eight-fifteen,
and the first late arrival was iden-
titled as Patterson. This all-impor-
tant element of time had to be es-
tabllshed; Rankin dared not take IT
for granted. Since the boy was ig-
norant of when Buckley deserted
him, the detective must seek that
information at the club. itself. The

The two cups are part of the

The other, small emerald studded

Many Of these sparcely-settled
townships have found it impossible

The recent legislature passed a law
compelling county boards to dissolve
all townships in which the assessed
valuation had dropped below $4,000,
where tax delinquency amounted to

Old Capitol Closed,
Will Be Wrecked

The superintendent of the state
capitol the other day turned the key
in the Wabasha street door of the Old
State Capitol in Saint Paul. Thus
quietly a historic landmark in Min
nesota was removed from the hurly-
burly of living things. Its going was
marked by no ceremony and one OF
these days the wrecking crew will
move around to that old corner where
Minnesota legislators back in the ear
ly eighties made laws for the North
Star State, and these wreckers will
tear down the venerable old structure,
that had grown obsolete. Closing of
the building will save the state about
$500 a month.
The territorial capitol, built in
1853, was destroyed by fire in 1881,
and the Old State Capitol was then
erected at cost of 100000, which
while modest, was considerably above
the architects estimates. Citizens of
st. Paul advanced $4,000 to the
building fund when the state appro-
priation had been used up.
Governor VanSant, who is still liv-
ing, was the last executive in the Old
Capitol, and the first to preside in the
new. The first legislative session
was held in the new capitol in 1905.
The new capitol cost $4,337, 900. The
historical building cost 100000 and
the new state office building appro-
ximately $1,50O,000. Alexander Ram
sey was the first territorial governor
and took the office June l, 1S49, and
Henry H. Sibley was the first COVER
nor of the new state, taking office in
1857, the year Minnesota gained its
statehood.

New Ulm Man Fell 40
Feet From Windmill

Herman Rentz, windmill erector in
the employ of the Retzlaff Hardware
company of New Ulm, had a narrow
escape last week when he fell 40 feet
from the windmill tower on the John
Meckenburg farm, Milford township.
The heavy windstorm recently dam
aged the wheel on the mill and Mr..
Rentz was disengaging the old wheel
when the accident occurred. He was
atop the tower, which had sagged
some during the storm. His weight
caused an additional sag in the steel
and this threw Mr.. Rentz from his
balance.
X-rays disclosed q slight fracture
of the shoulder blade but no internal
injuries.

Federal Funds Will
Improve 1000 Miles
of Roads in State

Minnesota's 10,600,000 Federal ak
highway program, which is awaiting
formal approval by Washington au
thorities, provides for the improve
ment Of more than 1900 miles o.
road, construction of "a bridges ant
separation of grades at seven railroad
crossings. 1t is believed here that 8
new bridge over the Redwood river OF
Bridge street and considerable work
on Highway between Sanborn anG
Redwood Falls is included.
In addition, according to an an.
nouncement by N. w. >Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, there will be
considerable miscellaneous work, such
as removal of center piers where
highways pass beneath railroad
tracks, landscaping and work on
trunk routes in Minneapolis, St. Pau
and Duluth.
Because federal regulations require
the highway funds to be parceled out
through nearly every county in the
state, the projects naturally must be
spread thinly, Mr.. Elsberg explained
There will be only about IS miles of
concrete paving, exclusive of any
which may be laid in cities of the first
class.
Analysis of the highway depart
ment's tentative program, not yet en-
tirely complete, shows the following
approximate divisions Of the funds:
900 miles of bituminous treatment,
$2,736, 900; IS miles of concrete paw
ing and incidental work, SLOTS, 900;
200 miles of grading, $2,47O,00O; "a
bridges, $1,154,000; removal of cent
er piers from Is underpasses, $148,-
600; seven grade separations, $685.
900; landscaping, 100000; allowed
for cities of first class, $1,500,000.
This leaves approximately $1,000, 200
which is in process of allotment to
various projects.
Nearly three weeks ago the high
way department began submitting its
program to federal authorities. The
preliminary ALLEGATION of funds as be-
tween federal aid roads, municipali-
ties and secondary roads was approx
ed, and approval Of more detailed
programs is now awaited.
The department is ready to call for
bids on the first projects to be under
taken just as soon as federal approx
al comes through from Washington.
