The next item is one which will be
read by Ohioans with a great deal OF
nride. 1t is list of all the executive
judicial officers of the federal govern
ment who were natives Of the State. 1t
starts off with the name OF the grand
father of our present President, Will
liam Henry Harrison, elected president
for the term beginning March 4, 1S42.
Next comes the name of Rutherford Is.
Hayes, then that Of the martyred Gar
field. One acting vice president came
from Ohio, Benjamin +. Wade, who
held that office from March ?, 1867, to
March +, 1869.
Two speakers Of the House are in the
list. Milton Saylor and j. Warren
Keifer.
There have been five secretaries OF

| Iobn Mclean, Noah II. Swayne and
Stanley Mathews.
Thirty-three senators have represent
ed the State, beginning with Thomas
Wcrthington and John Smith, who were
elected in 1908. Now men esteem the
senatorial office above the goyernOrship.
Il was even deemed greater honor to
be a diplomatic representative than SEN
ator, as indicated by the resignation OF
William II. Harrison to take the then
higher office of minister to Colombia. 1t
Is odd how things do get turned around.
