The failure of Ex-Governor Foster, al
though along time out of the Gubernator-
ial Chair, again recalls the fatality which
seems to surround those who occupy the
position of Ohio's Chief Executive. Gov.
Tom Young, who succeeded Hayes, was
the first to meet with: misfortune, and
died in comparative poverty. Governor
Bishop failed while in Office. Hoadly,
too, saw his fortune go while he was
Governor. Foraker did not fail fnan-
cially, but came out with good deal less
money than he took in. Campbell was
in dire straits when he retired from Office,
and Governor McKinley's troubles are
fresh in the minds of all. Foster now
completes the list to date. However
strong the probability of financial failure,
it is still probable that men can be found
willing to take the Office and run the
risk.
