A Toledo company last year procured
the right-of-way for two-thirds of the

The Words Of a Lifelong
Friend.
CALL TO PUBLIC LIFE
The Story Of . Conversation
With Mckinley When He
Was Governor Of
Ohio.

Among the many Cleveland men who
knew President Mckinley we'll long
before he aspired to the highest office
in the gift of the people is Judge Dis
sette, who for many years lived not
lar fom Canton and frequently called
upon the future president
My first real personal knowledge of
Mckinley dates back to the time when
he ran for prosecuting attorney" said
the Judge. Afterwards when he ran
for congress | was among few Cleve-
land persons who went to Canton upon
invitation to help him in that cam
paign. l also made speeches and help
ell him in several later campaigns for
congress, including the one in which
he came very near overcoming the ger
rymander of his district. l remember
how badly we felt when Warwick de-
feated him by such narrow margin,
but some time afterwards when Nc
Kinley was nominated for governor
was talking to him. when the conversa-
ton turned to the Warwick campaign.
He remarked that after all his defeat
had not been bad thing.
NO" remarked man standing near.
1T will make you president yet,
The Judge. growing reminiscent, told
of conversation he had with McKin-
leg Just after his financial trouble. He
was in Columbus, and had called on the
governor. Mr.. Mckinley had told him
a.. l. . On,
time of retiring from pulic life and
trying to recoup his lost fortunes. He
felt that perhaps it would be better
FOR him to let public life alone, and by
the practice of his profession make a
little money, so that in old age he
would not be left financially crippled
81 told him feared very much that
he would find that awkward since he
had been so long in public life said
the judge. And then he told me that
but a few days before prominent Phil
adelphia capitalist had called upon him
with strange proposition. The Phil
adelphia gentleman said he represented
humber of prominent men in business,
who stood ready to give him all the
financial aid he desiretl IL he would
agree to remain in public life.
"The man told me-" said Mckinley, in
relating the incident to Judge Dissetts,
that he was a Democrat. but he be-
lieved | had duty to perform as no
other man could perform, and he as
well as Others wanted me to remain
in public life, ready for greater work
it the people saw fit to ask me to do
it,"
when the major told me that" said
Judge Dissette, 81 thought for the mo-
n:ent that it was egotistical. But he
went on to say that he believed the
l.! iladelphia gentleman was wrong, and
that there were others just as capable.
Yet he felt that perhaps he had an OBJ
legation to the public to perform. and
IL he retired from public life might be
neglecting his duty. l thought this was
akin to egotism at that time. and won
dered at it coming as it did from man
like Mckinley. Now l know 1t was
nothing of the kind. 1t was the spirit
of prophecy speaking through William
Mckinley.
I'VE all know how his friends came
to his rescue financially. and against
his protests kept him in public life.
And the nation has been benefited III
an unmeasured manner"
