Foss, is But 35 Years Old. IS A NORTHWESTERN MAN Charles M. Thomson, the Chicago alderman from the Twenty-fifth ward, who was elected to congress Tuesday over George Edmund Foss and Frank L. Fowler, though a young man, has risen rapidly in the political field. Mr. Thomson was born in Chicago 35 years ago. His father, who died in 1900, was James Thomson, who came to this country from his native land, Scotland, In 1851. Mr. Thomson's father was connected with the Thom- son & Taylor Spice company for near- ly 80 years. His mother, who came from Berkshire county, Massachu- setts, lives at 642 Belmont avenue, Chicago. Mr. Thomson was educated in the public schools of Chicago, graduating from the Chicago Manual Training school in 1892. He attended Washing- ton and Jefferson college in Washing- ton, Penn., where he waB graduated in 1899. He received the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Northwest- ern university law school in 1902, In which year he was admitted to the bar, He has practiced law ever since. Married in 1905. In 1905 he married Miss Bessie Holbrook. They have one child and reside at 847 Montrose avenue, Chi- cago. Mr. Thomson became an indepen- dent candidate for alderman in the twenty-fifth ward, Chicago, in 1908. After one of the fiercest battles ever waged for a council seat he was elect- ed. Two years later another hot fight occurred in which he was re-elected alderman by an Increased plurality. At the close of his second term he was agin re-elected, this time without opposition; and he is now serving his third term in the Chicago city coun- cil. He is chairman of the committee on "buildings and city hall and a mem- ber of the committee on water depart- ment and the committee on harbors, wharves and bridges. Mr. Thomson was elected on the Progressive ticket and displaces a con- gressman who has made a good record and who has held his seat for eigh- teen years. Mr. Thomson is an ag- gressive, hard-working man and his friends predict he will more than make good in his new position. WILMETTE WANT ADS.
