HOWARD COUNTY.

Senator George D. Day.

George Dorsey Day, the Republican State Senator from
Howard county, has lived all his life in that county, where he
was born, June 22, 1848. He first took an active interest in
local politics in 1887, when he was elected sheriff of the county,
being the only successful candidate on the Republican ticket
that year. During the Harrison administration he held a posi-

to the important Indian agency at Anadarko, Indian Territory.
Into the late campaign in Howard county, Mr. Day threw a sur-

And he made good use of the opportunity, for carrying the
county for the entire Republican county and State ticket. Mr.
Day's majority was 323, reversing the normal democratic major-
ity in the county. The Senator-elect has large business interests
in the fourth district, being engaged in store-keeping and also
running a saw and grist mill, a creamery and two or three farms.
He has been quite successful in all his enterprises. He is
married and has a number of grown children. All his life he
