As a member of Congress his work early came to be regarded as of a highly constructive character and of a broad national scope. He has been a leader in all matters fostering a greater and a larger patriotism. He was for ten years the leader of the temperance forces in Congress and is considered to be America’s leading authority on the subject of scientific temperance Captain Hobsoms sinking of the Merrimac in Santiago harbor is one of the most dramatic episodes in the pages of American history and made him the hero of every American boy.
