NEW ENGLAND LEADERS AND PROCTOR'S SENATE CAREER
Redfield Proctor of Vermont, died Wednesday, served seventeen years in the U S Senate, ranking among the longest serving colleagues. He held varied posts before 1891, including Vermont Legislature, lieutenant governor, governor, and Secretary of War in Harrison's cabinet. A colonel in the war, he influenced army and agricultural appropriations, but lacked dynamic leadership. His career marks a shift in New England statesmanship, linking past leaders to today, as regional influence waned yet foundations remained for future tenure and practical policy.
