Career
Howard Mutchler was the son of Congressman William Mutchler (1831-1893). He attended public schools in his home country and then the Phillips Academy in Andover . He then began to study law with his father, but dropped out without a degree to work in the newspaper industry. In Easton he then published two daily newspapers. Politically, like his father, he became a member of the Democratic Party .
After the death of his father, who passed away as a congressman, Howard Mutchler was elected as his successor to the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC at the by-election due for the seventh seat of Pennsylvania , where he took up his new mandate on August 7, 1893. Since he renounced another candidacy in the regular congressional elections of 1894 , he could only end the current legislative period in Congress until March 3, 1895 .
In the congressional elections of 1900 Mutchler was re -elected to the US House of Representatives in the seventh constituency of Pennsylvania, where he succeeded Laird Howard Barber on March 4, 1901 . Since he did not run for re-election in 1902, he could only complete one further term in Congress until March 3, 1903. After his time in the US House of Representatives, Howard Mutchler returned to the newspaper business. He died on January 4, 1916 in Easton, where he was also buried.
