Wants to Wear Mason’s Coga.

Charles Gates Dawes of Evanston, whose candidacy for the United States

Senate to succeed William E. Mason is formally announced, has been viewed for some time as a Senatorial possibility. Mr. Dawes’ prominence in national politics dates from the Presidential campaign of 1896, when he was the executive head of the McKinley forces in Illinois. The energy and ability displayed secured for him the office of Controller of the Currency. Mr. Dawes was born in 1865 at Marietta, O. He is a son of General R. R. Dawes, one of the commanders of the old iron Brigade of Wisconsin, and a lineal descendant of William E)awes, who made a ride in the revolutionary war similar to that of Paul Revere, and wa3 rendered famous by the pen of Longfellow. He was graduated from the Cincinnati Law School in 1886. He was a resident of Lincoln, Neb., for seven years, and came from there to Evanston to assume the Presidency of the Northwestern Gaslight and Coke company.
