Two Young Senators Elect From Delaware and Rhode Island
The incoming Senate will include Josiah O. Wolcott of Delaware born Oct 31 1877 and Peter G Gerry of Rhode Island born Sept 9 1879. Gerry’s victory followed a aggressive multilingual campaign aided by General Henry De Witt Hamilton while Wolcott rose from Du Pont influence and a strong Republican base in Delaware.
