Abstract

Notes from the Capital
John Lind | December 16, 1915 issue

add to cart   close window

John Lind is a Swede by birth, a rather tall, very angular and ungainly blond man, with the spare habit and bony face of his type. He attracted no particular attention during his first service in the Fiftieth Congress of the U.S., as a republican representative from Minnesota; but the newspapers found him of some interest when, in the Fifty-first Congress, he served on the select committee that investigated the Civil Service Commission. His habitual seriousness never forsook him, though there were not a few humorous features in the course of this inquiry which aroused the mirth of his colleagues.
