His death occurred just 2 days after his election to serve his twentyfourth successive term in this body. but He above beckoned and our friend has gone from us today. He was a man for whom I had the deepest affection. As an immigrant boy of 15 he came to America from his native Bohemia. now Czechoslovakia. and settled in Chicago. Imbued with the freedom and opportunity of our great country. he diligently worked as a young man to gain a better education. This he accomplished by attending night school which enabled him to enter business and a further night course at the Chicago Law School led to a law. degree.
