J.sAdam Bede Dies;
Humorist Served
In House 6 Years
Minnesota Orator
Fatally Stricken While
Walking With Friend
4y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DULUTH, Mimi, April Ill.
Adam Bede, So, of Duluth, humorist
and former Republican member Of
Congress from the eighth Minnesota
district, died of heart attack late
today while walking with friend.
He first was elected to Congress in
1902, and was reelected to the Fifty
ninth and Sixtieth Congresses. His
hanced by his humorous quips on
the floor of the House, where he
served six years.
Mr. Bede had been active in seek
ing support for the proposed Great
LakeS-St. Lawrence SeaWay project.
Mr.. Bede's humor was more of
natural way of expressing himself
rather than a cultivated manner to
entertain his audiences, but it was
as humoriSt that he was hailed
first even in his own State, Mime
sofa.
Supported Cleveland.
Behind this veil Of humor Mr..
Bede was a man of strong convic-
tions and independent judgment.
He did not hesitate to change his
Affiliations with a political party
when the policies and ideas of that
party ran contrary to his own.
( He had been a Republican for
hany years until 1888, when Grover
Cleveland became a candidate for
reelection as President. His de-
Sire to help bring that about i'm
PEELED him to leave the Republican
ranks Notwithstanding the defeat
of Cleveland, Mr.. Bede remained
loyal to him through the campaign
Of 1892, when Cleveland was elected
President for the second time.
Mr.. Bede was rewarded for his
support with appointment as mar
shall for Minnesota and served a
year during which the great railroad
strike was In progress. His resig-
nation was prompted because party
policies would not permit him to
support a Republican friend for
Congress. His independence of
action was indicated at the time
when he declared that he would
wear birch bark pants rather than
desert the candidate of his choice.
Out of sympathy with the free
silver" platform of the first Bryan
campaign of 1896, Mr.. Bede broke
away from the Democratic party
and returned to the Republican
fold His speeches during that
campaign attracted Nationwide at
tention to his ability as an orator.
Six years later as a candidate on
the Republican ticket he was elected
Representative. His reputation as
an orator and public speaker was
enhanced by his speeches from the
floor of the House. His humorous
quips and aphorisms made good
copy and were printed throughout
the country, creating a demand for
him for platform lectures and after
dinner talks.
Native of Ohio.
Mr.. Bede was born on a farm in
Gorain County. Ohio. January 13,
1856. His father was James Bede,
who came to the United States from
Wales. and his mother was Adelia
Ferguson Bede of Cleveland. After
his public school education he
learned the printers trade, taught
school. went into newspaper edi-
torial work and eventually became q
lawyer.

criminal assault and was wounded
when he attacked the arresting Of

to remove the door. there being no

but it reassembled several hours

for a time located in Washington
as a correspondent. In 1886 he
married Miss Eva Redding at Sioux
Falls, S. Oak, and in the same year
took up his residence in Minnesota,
settling at Duluth. Six children
were born to them.
In his humorous after-dinner
talks, Mr. Bede propounded much
of his own philosophy of life. Some
of his widely quoted comments were:

will break you when you are old"
Socialism Is like looping the loop
