Hemenway Leads in House Influence on Appropriations
In the Fifty seventh congress James A. Hemenway of the First district rises as a key figure on the appropriation committee next to the ways and means group. He is described as the right hand man of Joe Cannon and a leading Indiana figure shaping major funding bills for the nation with a focus on economy and proper disbursement.
