Alumni in Congress Are Increased to Nine

IN the elections of November 8, Dartmouth emulated the Republicans and picked up a seat in the U. S. House of Representatives. All eight of the alumni who were incumbents seeking another term were reelected, and to their number was added Clark MacGregor '44 of Wayzata, Republican, who became Congressman from the 3rd District of Minnesota.

The eight Dartmouth men returned to the House were:

Edgar W. Hiestand '10, Republican, 21 st District of California.

John S. Monagan '33, Democrat, 5th District of Connecticut.

Thomas B. Curtis '32, Republican, 2nd District of Missouri.

Perkins Bass '34, Republican, 2nd District of New Hampshire.

Edwin B. Dooley '26, Republican, 26th District of New York.

Robert R. Barry '37, Republican, 27th District of New York.

William E. Minshall '35, Republican, 23rd District of Ohio.

Herman T. Schneebeli '30, Republican, 17th District of Pennsylvania.

Three other Dartmouth men were their parties' nominees in Congressional contests but failed to unseat the incumbents. They were Phil E. Gilbert Jr. '36, Democrat, who opposed Dooley in the New York 26th District; Henry RDutcher '45, Democrat, in the New York 39th District; and James M. Knowles '45, Republican, in the West Virginia 3rd District.

In Massachusetts, Edward F. McLaughlin Jr. '42 of Jamaica Plain, a Democrat and president of the Boston City Council, was elected Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth. He will serve under a Republican governor, John A. Volpe, who has a Dartmouth connection by being the builder of the Hopkins Center.
