Senate Minority Leader.

Charles A. Culberson of Texas, leafier of the minority on the floor of the senate. Is recognized by his colleagues of both parties as one of the ablest members of that body. Indeed there are Republicans who say that Mr. Culberson is mentally the best equipped member of the opposition. The Texan senator presents himself for debate only upon the most important measures, apparently not caring for the notice given to those who speak

on any and all occaaiona. He prepares for ids speeches by careful study of the Question to be conaidered, aud bls statements rarely fall to carry conviction. Senator Culberson’s father, David B. Culberson, represented Texas in the . house of representatives for twenty-

two consecutive yean and was considered one of the greatest lawyers of the south, *rtie son was trained for the law by his father. Senator Culberson was attorney general for Texas from 1890 to 1894, when ha was elected governor of the state.
