official life had been for some time an
ideal with him, and with this came the
belief in the efficacy of the application
of civil service rules to executive con-
duct. In 1882 he was nominated for
the State Assembly and was elected.
He served for three years. In 1885 Mr..
Roosevelt was nominated as an indie
pendent candidate for mayor of New
York, but, although Endorsed by the
Republicans, was defeated.
In 1884 he was chairman of the New
York delegation to the national Re-
publican convention. He had been
among those who did not regard Mr..
Blaine as the most available candi-
date of the party, but after the latter

his hearty support, and in the face OF

Harrison appointed him civil service

AS president of the civil service COM
mission Roosevelt resigned in May,
1895, to become president of the New
York board of police commissioners.
On May 6, 1898, Roosevelt resigned
his place in the cabinet, assistant sec
rotary of the navy, to muster in a
cavalry regiment for the Spanish war

was lieutenant colonel. On June Is
the regiment sailed to join General
Shafter in Cuba.
From the time Of landing until the
fall of Santiago the Rough Riders were
giant figures in the campaign. Their
work reached a climax on July 1,when
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt led the
regiment in the desperate charge up
San Juan hill. He had shared all the
hardships of his men, and when he
broke the red tape OF discipline to COM

its dangers from disease the army was
with him and the war department lis

he was commissioned colonel Of vol

McKirleJ'S Biography.

James Mckinley, the presidents all
cestor, landed in this country about
1743, and settled later in Chanceford
Township, York county, Pa, where
David Mckinley. grandfather of
the president, was born in May, 1875.
The records of the Pension Bureau
show that David Mckinley was a SOL
der in the revolution and participated
in the capture of PauluS Hook and the
engagements of Amboy and Chester
Hill. He died in 1910, in Ohio, at the
age of eighty-fve. A son, James Nc
Kinley, moved to Columbiana county,
Ohio, in 1909. At that time William,
his son, born in Pine Township, Mer-
Ger county, Pa, was two years Old
James Mckinley was an iron manu-
faCturer or furnace man, and his son
William followed the same vocation
When William was twenty-five years
old he married Nancy Allison of Can
ton, o., the couple having nine child
rem, of whom William Jr., the presi-
dent, was the seventh. William Nc
having lived to witness the rise of his
son from a school teacher through
posts of national prominence to be
governor of Ohio.
The president was born at Niles,
Trumbull county, O., on January %,
1S43. He attended the public schools
in that town until he was nine years
old. at which time his father moved
to Poland, Mahoning county, o., where
the future president entered Union
Seminary, pursuing his studies in that
institution until he was seventeen
years old He is said to have eXce:led
in mathematics and languages, and to
have bested all his fellOW-students in
debating the public questions of the
day.
In 1860 he was sent to Allegheny COL
lege, Meadvlle, Pa, but gave up his
course after few months on account
of poor health. After a period of rest
he became a teacher in the pubic
schools of the Kerr district, near Po-
land, having joined the Methodist
Episcopal church in Poland. In the
spring of 1861 he was a clerk in the
postoffice at Poland, which position he

Gov. Roosevelt was born in New
York city, Oct. 81, 1858, of Dutch and
Scotch-Irish ancestry. His father was
Theodore Roosevelt, after whom the
governor was named, and his mother,
whose given name was Martha, was
the daughter of James and Martha
Bulloch of Georgia. Young Roosevelt
was primarily educated at home under
private teachers, after which he en-
tered Harvard, graduating in 1880
Those qualities of aggressiveness
which have marked his more recent
years of public life were present with
him in college and he was a conspicu-
Gus figure among his fellows.
1t was an interesting period in the
history of the party and the nation,
and young Roosevelt entered upon the

William Mckinley"
Senator Foraker spoke with a vigor,
eloquence and magnetism characters
tic of the man. His review of the
achievements of the Mckinley ad-
ministration was brilliant and cpl
grammatic. When he referred to the
passage of the financial legislation
during the last session Of congress,
upon the recommendation of the
president, the convention cheered the
sentiment enthusiastically. In con-
Guiding his reference to the financial
legislation Senator Foraker said
THE wild cry of sixteen to one, so
full of terror in 1896, has been put
everlastingly to sleep in the catacombs
Of American politics"
Great Demonstration Follows.
Senator Foraker concluded at HIP
a. m. and the convo ttion arose and
cheered enthusiastically, all waving
fans. The demonstration grew excit-
ing. when Senator Hanna seized one
of the plumes and waved 1t from the
stage. The greatest demonstration was
when the state banners were carried
to the stage.
After the demonstration had lasted
for eleven minutes Chairman Lodge
raped for order. At 11:2S Gov. Roose-
welt was recognized. There was an
other enthusiastic demonstration when
he took the platform.
There he stood, face grimly set,with-
out a smile. He made no acknowledge
ments. no salutations to the plaudits,
but, like hero receiving his due, calm
ly awaited the subsistence of the in
multi. At last he raised his hand and
at his bidding the demonstration came
to an end
He wore black cutaway coat, dark
striped trousers, turn-down collar,
and blue necktie. The delegates badge
on the red. white and b.re ribbon
was the only bit Of color he wore.
AS the governor faced about on the
platform a man with a camera planted
the instrument directly in front Of
him. As Mr.. Roosevelt saw it he said,
sharply, Take that away; take that
away" and the sergeant-at-arms rush
ed the man and his apparatus out Of
the aisle.
Then Gov. Roosevelt began his
speech, speaking in a clear, full voice.
Gov Rooseveits Speech.
His sentences were delivered in a
manner that denoted a careful study
of each word. His argumentative style
kept the audience en- rapport with him,
for he was given the closest attention
by the vast audience, in fact, very
much more attention than had any
other speaker.
1T was not great war. 1t did not

customers or even employees is that
they block up the aisles and passages

adjourned sine die. No national con-
vention ever consumed less time in
hours.
OF course the work of the conven-
ton laid before it" so to put it. There
was not the slightest doubt on any
point except the vice presidency, and
as soon as the delegates began to ar
rive that doubt was dispelled. Roose-
welt was the choice of nearly every
delegation for second place.

Tramped Over Canal Routes.

There is probably but one member
of the house who enjoys the distinc-
ton of having tramped on foot over
both the Panama and the Nicaragua
canal routes. That gentleman is Rep
resentative Romeo Hoyt Freer of West
Virginia. Not many years ago Judge
Freer was American consul to Mica
ragua and during his term of Office he
familiarized himself with the proposed
canal routes. Once he traversed the
distance between the two oceans with
a surveying party, of which Com
mander Lull of the navy was at the
head. and again he went over the route

preventing husked fodder from heat
ing visited friend who had his

My friend packs his shredded fodder
