PREFACE
This volume, conipilccl l).v .Iiiiiirs I,. Hiimson, Stnir Dirrrtor of the t'ominittco, is
a revision of the Dictionary of the United States Congress and the General Government,
published in 1859 and again revised in 1869, by Charles Lanman; the' Biographical
Annals of the Civil Government of the United States in 1876, by Charles Lanmau
and James Anglim, and the Lanman edition of 1876 as corrected by Joseph M. Morrison
in 1887; the Political Register and Congressional Directory of 1878, by Ben: Perley
Poore; the Biographical Congressional Directory of 1903, by O. M. Enyart; the Bio-
graphical Congressional Directory in 1911, and the Biographical Directory of the
American Congress of 1927, by Ansel Wold.
Where matter herein is found to be in disagreement with that contained in the
foregoing publications it is because later research has brought to light additional

facts to disprove such records or has <lemonstrated the existence of errors in previous
directories.
Anyone discovering errors in this edition is invited to call them to the attention
of the JointCommittee on Printing for reference in compiling future publications.
The Committee will be especially indebted to those sufficiently interested in furnishing
additional information which would add to the value of future editions.

FOREWORD
The oarliosi knowii directory was piiblislipil in 180;J. This pamphlet of twelve
pages had the title "Alphabetical List of the Members of the Two Houses of tongri-ss
According to States, First Session of the Eighth Congress." The name of the printer
was not given. A pamphlet of fifteen pages, entitled "Places of Abode of the Members
of Both Houses of Congress, First Session of the Eleventh Congress," was published
by R. C. Weightman in 1809. It contains the names and locations of boarding houses,
arranged alphabetically, which are followed by names of Senators and Representatives
residing therein. Directories containing added congressional information, compiled
and printed under contract by private firms, appeared from time to lime.
Though still printed by contract, the Congressional Directory for the first session of
the Thirtieth Congress assumed an official air by bearing on the title-page the words
"Compiled and published for the use of Congress by the Postmaster of the House of
Representatives." It was issued in 1848 by J. & G. S. Gideon. Similar information
was carried on titles up to and including the first session of the Thirty-eighth Congress.
The compilation and publication of the Congressional Directory under the super-
vision of the Joint Committee on Public Printing was first provided for at the start of
the Second Session of the Tliirty-eighth Congress tlu-ough unanimous adoption of a
joint resolution, approved February 14, 1856. After numerous sessions, during which
similar foreign publications were examined, the committee decided upon a work essen-
tially comparable to "The House of Commons," published in London since 1852.
Biographical sketches of Senators and Representatives appeared in 1867 in the fu^t

edition of the Congressional Directory for the second session of the Fortieth Congress.
In the compiler's note it is called a "proof edition," and has approximately 235 biog-
raphies of Senators, Representatives, and Territorial Delegates. It is referred to as
being incomplete, and in 1868 was replaced by a second edition which contained a few
more sketches. The directory for the third session, printed in 1869, contains approxi-
mately 280 biographies.
The work of preparing and publishing a biographical directory to include all the
preceding Congresses was first undertaken by Charles Lanman in 1859. It bears the
imposing title "Dictionary of the United States Congress." There have been at least
seven subsequent editions, which were intended to give up-to-date and authentic bio-
graphical data. Prior to Ansel Wold's 1927 volume, however, the compilers appear to
have done little more than to add such information as could be obtained from the
Congressional Directories published during each session of Congress. In the 1927
volume, Mr. Wold conscientiously endeavored to verify the personnel and biographical
data published in preceding editions, and from that time until his retirement he con-
tinued his efforts to collect and verify additional information for future editions.
In this edition, which contains about 9,950 biographical sketches, the compiler
and his staff, under the direction of the Joint Committee on Printing, have tried to
improve further the authenticity. Every possible effort has been made to verify
the data.
[91
Begiiming with the Fortieth Congress, the names of Representatives from the
various States are placed in the numerical order of the congressional districts they
represented. The names of Representatives at Large appear in the order of their
seniority. By referring to the footnote references of deaths, resignations, etc., it will
be easy to ascertain the particular congressional district a Member represented. The
names of all Senators are given in the order of seniority, the name of the Senator with
the longest service appearing in the left-hand column and that of the jimior Senator
in the right-hand column.
The compiler has tried to be impartial and to foUow closely the policy and proce-
dures outlined by the Joint Committee on Printing. Some records which might have
proved of great value, especially bearing upon earlier contested election cases and their
determination, unfortunately were destroyed.
The cooperation of readers is solicited to the end that future Biographical Direc-
tories eventually may contain a fidl and accurate record. Errors of commission or
omission that may be called to the attention of the Joint Committee on Printing will
be fded for use in subsequent editions.

OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
OF THE GOVERNMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE
A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with
tiie President wlio appointed iiim, and, while it is customary to tender his resignation at the time a
change of administration taiies place, he remains formally at the head of his department until a suc-
cessor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not considered
Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation's history not all Cabinet officers were heads of
executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the responsibilities
of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the data that
follows.
The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which com-
missions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by
dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793-March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the
The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of
the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators
and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall
begin.
The National Security Act of 1947 (Pub. Law 253, 80th Cong., 1st sess.), approved July 26,
1947, created the office of Secretary of Defense and merged the War and Navy Departments into
the National Military Establishment. The act was subsequently amended (Pub. Law 216, 81st
Cong., 1st sess.): Section 201. (a) There is hereby established, as an executive department of the
Government, the Department of Defense.

The Constitution (Art. I, sec. 4) provided that "The Congress shall a.s.<iemble at least once in

for the meeting of Congress on other days in the year. Since that year Congress met regularly on
the first Monday in December until January 1934. The date for convening of Congress was changed
by the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution in 1933 to the 3d day of January unless a different
day shall be appointed by law. The first and second sessions of the First Congress were held in
New York City; subsequently, including the fir.st session of the Sixth Congress Philadelphia was the
meeting place; since then Congress has convened in Washington, D. C.
