Newsboy Senator Fred Boord from Covington rises in state politics
The youngest U S senator is Fred Boord of Covington representing Fountain and Warren counties. A self made man with a frugal youth, he sold papers well into his senate term while studying law and politics. His campaign included a cold talk with a rival and a vigorous fight over a circuit judge nomination. Boord is noted for his committee work and a notable nomination speech for Charles W. Fairbanks.
