most disagreeabc days in the history
of the city. The conditions were not
merely local, for large section Of the

Telephone and telegraph wires were
broken down in all directions, and
Baltimore had very poor service North
and none at all South For that rea-
son it appears that the Florida storm
caused the main damage here. Wash
ington was apparently nearer the
storm center than Baltimore, for it is
understood that the fury of the storm
was much greater in that vicinity.
However, in the extreme Northeast,
at Block Island, the wind acquired
velocity of 70 miles an hour. There is
no doubt that considerable damage
was done in the storm-swept section,

and before he ever held office he had
spoken in every county Of the State
and was known personally to the Vot-

Senator Fairbanks became a posi-
tive force in the national Republican
party from the time Of the St. Louis
Republican convention in 1896.
Mr.. Fairbanks leadership in lndi-
ana was still more generally recogniz-
ed after he returned from the st. LOUIS
convention. From that time until the
present he has been the dominant tg-
ure in al political movements within
the Republican ranks in the State.

Jonathan Faycrbanke, his wife, four
sons and two daughters, They were
Puritans and for many generations
their ancestors had been farmers. In
the struggle between the Crown and
the people they had been followers Of
Cromwell. They came to America in
search of greater religious liberty.
Fairbanks at college was type
of the country lad, e feet tall, rather
awkward, slow OF speech, and ambi-
tious to get through college and be-
come lawyer. He was Of a serious
turn of mind and was not given to
college pranks, and seldom joked.
After leaving college he went to Pitts
burg, Pa, where for time he acted
as agent of the Associated Press, then
in its infancy. After remaining at
Pittsburg for a year or more, during
which time he applied himself to the
study of law, he went to Cleveland,
Ohio, completed his studies and was
admitted to the bar OF the Supreme
Court Of that State after one term at
a Cleveland law school.
1t was then he married Miss Cole,
whom he had known in college, and
decided to locate in Indianapolis for
the practice of law, which he began
in 1874 Prior to going to Indianapo-
lis it was suggested that he accept a
nomination as prosecuting attorney of
his home county. in Ohio, and enter
politics, as did William Mckinley. But
he had no political ambition at that
time and declined the offer.
From 1874 until he was elected to
the Senate Mr.. Fairbanks was devoted
to his law practice. He accumulated
one of the most complete law libra
ries of the country. His fees were I'M
usually large for lawyer OF his day.
He accumulated a comfortable for

Into the 4o years of his active life
he has compressed the combined ca
reers Of soldier, ranchman, legislator,
statesman, reformer and politician.
Not yet beyond middle age, he has
won place in the literary world as
well as those OF politics and war.
No one denies his versatility, his
ability and his wealth OF human in

he has won are sturdy and stcadfast.
He is a real exemplar of the strcnu-

Born of wealthy and distinguish.

OF prosperous youth. He was sent
