William Plnkney Whyte of Maryland, since the death of Senator Pettus the oldest member of the United States sen ate In point of years, was born In Bal tlraore, August 8, 1224. At the age of 28 vears he was sent to the Maryland legislature and during the 60 years that have elaDsed since then he has held nearly every public office within the jrlft of the people of his state. At 29 rears of age he became comptroller of he state, in 1848 he was made United States senator to fill an unexpired term. In 1871 he was elected governor of Maryland, but before the expiration of his term was elevated to the United States senate once more. Being succeed ed In the senate by Arthur P. Gorman, Mr. Whyte returned to private life, but was shortly afterward elected mayor of Baltimore, a lew years later ne was elected attorney-general of Maryland. Six years ago he was elected city so licitor of Baltimore. On the death of Senator Gorman In 1906. Mr. Whyte was again sent to the United States senate to fill out the unexpired term. As an evidence of Senator Whyte's long pub lio career it Is 'not without Interest to note that he is the only survivor of the United States senators who voted against the fifteenth amendment to tha constitution, conferring upon the negro tne ngm to voie.
