Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 72, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 December 1909 — Senate Clerk Former Actor. [ARTICLE]

Senate Clerk Former Actor.

John C. Crockett, the reading clerk of the United States senate, was formerly an actor, and his reading of the bills Is accomplished with great dramatic force and enthusiasm. He was clerk of the supreme court of lowa, but resigned his position to go to Washington when he was notified of his Choice by the senate committee. His voice and enunciation are unusually clear, and when it rises and falls with oratorical emphasis It soothes many a member of the senate.
