Theodore Roosevelt was born in New
York city October -. 1888. He graduated
from Harvard University in 1850 and. after
a trip to Europe, began the study % law.
He was elected to the New York legisla-
ture in 1881, 1883. 1854 and 1853. While
chairman of the committee on cities he in
troduced reform legisatign which made his
name favorably known throughout the
country. One of his measures was the act
taking from the board of aldermen of the
city of New York the power to confirm or
reject the appointments of the mayor max
ing the latter wholly responsible for ali
local selections He chair,nan of a
legislative committee which investigated
many of the abuses of the New York city
government. In 1856 he was nominated for
mayor by the New York republicans.
Abram S. Hewitt was the democratic can
didate and Henry George represented the
la Dor party. Hewitt was elected by 22.OU0
plurality. Mr.. Roosevelt appointed d
member of the national civil service com
mission by President Cleveland and served
until May l. 1875, when he resigned TO ac-
cept the presidency of the board OF police
commissioners of New York city. The
wave of political reform which followed the
revelations of the Lexow investigation car
ried into power a non-partisan admn!s,ra-
tion pledged to execute the law, and Mr..
Roosevelt took the police commissionership
with the determination to substitute bus-

The same energetic methods that had char

promising honesty that is his nf1st prominent
characteristic brought the administration
of the department into high degree of
efficiency. but earned for him the abuse of
the spolsmen. President Mckinley called
him, April 1G, 1887, to be assistant secre-
tary of the navy.
He early perceived the probability of war
with Spain and recognized the Importance
of putting the American vessels on the
Asatc station in a condition prepared to
crush the Spanish vessels in the Pacific.
His activity in hurrying supplies and am
munition to Commodore Deweys vessels
at Hong Kong was potent factor in the

fourth of these terms his seat con-
tested. and the democratic House, near the
end of the term gave ii to his opponent.
The three nominations following We're given
him by acclamatiCn. The democrats in the
Ohio legislature repeatedly redistricted the
state as to make McKinlevs dis rict
democratic, and at last. in 1S!E. he was de-
feated by :s:;, the normal democratic ma
jority being 1000. This defeat ended his
congressional career of fourteen years. but
it made him governor of Ohio the next
year by majority of nearly 81 900.
This gubernatorial campaign commanded
national attention. inasmuch Maj. Nc
kinley chose to conduct it largely on ma
tional issues, chiefly on protective tariff
in the professed interest of labor and no
less of agricultural and commercial pros
pcrity. He was renominated by acclama-
elected by more than 10000 majority. His
untiinching advocacy of the protective sys-
tenn had marked his entire congressional
course. Entering Congress at the age of
thrty-f"ur. he gave his mind to a profound
and prolonged study Of industrial questions,
and early took rank in the House as one of
the most thorough statisticians on that
class of subjects
The tariff law of 1880, known as the Nc
kinney act, has. of course brought his
name most prominently before the public.
1t is undeniably the occasion of the demand
which. at the republican national conven-
tion in st. Louis in 1s.H, resulted in his
nomination to the presidency. He was
elected in November. receiving 211 electoral
votes. against 17G for William J. Bryan
and obtaining a popular plurality of 6u0O0
votes.
