I suppose that if any one particular field of legislation could be recalled in which he was most active we would all agree that it was in the work of securing better recognition for the old soldiers. not only of his own district but throughout the country. Representing as I do an adjoining district to the one which he so faithfully represented. there is naturally a community of interests between the splendid citizens which people both constituencies. Made up of a harmonious blending of the early New England settlers. the socalled Pennsylvania Dutch. and that sturdy stock of German emigrants which came over in the earlier days of the States history. their interests are homogenous in character. With a varied industrial development on no mean scale. an important commercial status. their rich agricultural resources. and their fine institutions of learning. they form a constituency which any man might feel proud to represent. I know from personal knowledge that CARL ANDERSONS efforts In behalf of the old soldiers of his district were appreciated beyond measure.
