NELSON ALIICH
DIES IN 74 YEAR
Continued b'roiti First I'nfte.
P. Aldrich, his son Johu D. Rockefel-'
ler, Jr., Mr. Aldrich "s son-in-law, could |
not be reached in time and was notified
of his death within a few minutes after
he had died.
Mr. Aldrich was oorn in Foster, R.
1., iu IS4 1 anil entered politics at the;
age of 34. lie served in the Rhode j
Island Assembly and in 1879 was scut :
to Congress. Two years later he was j
elected United States Senator, lie rep- \
resented Rhode Island in the Senate un- j
til 1911. when he retired.
Sketch of a Famous Career
N'elsou Wilmarth Aldrich held a
seat in the United States Senate eon- :
tinuously from 18S1 to 1911. The
influence exerted by him on govern- i
mental affairs was best illustrated by !
; the fact that when he was satirically j
introduced to an audience as "the gen- j
eral manager of the United States," j
; that appellation lived through the ad- |
i ministration of McKinley, Roosevelt |
and Taft.
Probably the greatest pariiameu- 1
tarian that ever served in the Senate, ]
1 Mr. Aldrich had no difficulty in main- i
taininig leadership of his party. Al- J
though known among the veterans as
a "committee" Senator, he was quite j
as much at home on the floor and nat- |
urally was more in evidence in the j
larger arena. While he gave special at- j
tention to the tariff and financial leg- 1
islation in committee, on the Senate i
floor his ear was open for all that was j
said on any subject of general im- j
portance.
Long Supreme in Party's Counsels
Naturally Mr. Aldrich's long-contin
ued supremacy in the counsels of his '
i party and in directing legislation j
caused him to become the subject of ;
much adverse criticism. H(v was charg- j
ed with bosifcsm and with being the |
tool of the "interests." Whether or;
not this was true in the main, it can ■
[ be said in fairness that some of these
assertions gained and held currency j
because it was his policy never to de- !
fend himself against published attacks. ,
He rarely permitted himself to be J
quoted by the press.
The fact that his daughter was mar
ried to a son of John D. Rockefeller I
served to strengthen the popular im- |
pression that Senator Aldrich was in |
some way peculiarly friendly to the
oil magnate, and considerate of the so
called "Rockefeller interests." Yet
when a friend of the Senator's once
asked him for a letter to Mr. Rocke
feller, Mr. Aldrich replied:
"As I have met Mr. Rockefeller I
only twice in my life, 1 fear the let
ter would be of but little, if any, as
sistance to you."
Charge With Being Sectional
In legislation he was charged with
being sectional. This is hardly borne j
out bv the facts, and more than once !
he gained his points by utilizing thel
conflict of interests between West and
Sonth and East.
A temporary opponent within his
own party when suddenly deprived of
the' floor "during a debate on proposed
currency reforms expostulated in vain.
As he took his seat he said: "The
Senate no longer is the great forum of
free speech, at least not when the Sen
ator from Rhode Island is here."
Successor to Famous Burnslde
Born in Koster, R. 1., November 6,
1841, he first appeared in public office
as meember of the common council in
the city of Providence. He was elected
to the Rhode Island assembly in 1875,
and four years later sent to Congress.
After two sessions he was elevated to
the Senate, as successor of General As
brose E. Burnside.
Upon his selection to the Senate, he
was immediately made chairman of the
Committee on Rules, and a member of
the Committee on Finance and Inter
state Commerce. Ijater as chairman of
the Finance Committee he was called
upon to assume a Urge share of the
responsibility for all tariff and finan
cial legislation before the Senate. He
participated in the preparation of no
fewer than six revisions of the tariff
and bore the burden of labor incident,
to them. The Payne-Aldrich tariff act
was engineered through the Senate bv
him after many weeks of skillful
maueuvuring and hard fighting.
Suggested Monetary Reforms
Mr. AUrich was always ready to
seize upon any trend of public business
to advance legislative causes in which
he was interested. The "banker's pan
ic of 1907 enabled him to give im
petus to his plan to bring about mone
tary reforms. The tirst fruit of his la
bors in this direction was the Vree
land-Aldrich Kmergeney Currency law
of 1908, put through the Senate by
Aldrich after au historic filibuster di
rected by Mr. I>;i Follette, the Progres
sive Republican from Wisconsin, who
was aided by Mr. Stone, of Missouri, a
Democrat. Sharp parliamentary tnctics
enabled Mr. Aldrich to bring tile bill to
a final vote, but in taking Mr. l,a Pol
lette off his feet' Mr. Aldrich made au
enemy who was relentless in his oppo
sition during many subsequent legisla
tive contests.
Mr. Aldrich undertook a speech-mak
ing trip in the Middle West with
avowed intention of eradicating hostil
ity to himself and his project. He de
sired especially to convert the people
to believe his declaration that be ha !
no purpose save lo devise u system of
national fiuatuv sound in principle,
safeguarding all legitimate interests,
and embodying the best wisdom of tho
entire country. Although he had large
audiences of bankers and business men
his mission was far from successful.
Why is not our plan taken nt face
value?'' lie asked a friemi. He re
ceived a frank answer.
Sought to Know People Too Late
"You have spcut your vacations in
Fit rope. \on have not stu<Mc<l the peo
ple. Your language is that of the pros
perous business man. You are seeking
too late in lit - ,, to know the people.
Mr. Aldr'teh expressed regret that
he had not earlier made opportunity to
acquaint himself with the western peo
ple. He said: "In a way I have been
familiar with western interests, and
Imve done all I could to protect them:
but I feel that I could have been of
still greater help if I had familiarized
myself on the ground with your insti
tutions and your people."
