He served in Congress seven times (1909-21) and retired when he was chairman of the pivotal Committee on Appropriations. Since then he has practiced law in Chicago and raised potatoes and angora goats in North Dakota. He met the Beaver Man in 1921, when they worked on the Budget together.

At Kansas City, Bishop Mc Connell was assailed on almost frivolous charges of "maladministration and immorality.
