Invited Into the Cabinet
President Mckinley at one time invited
Senator Fairbanks to become member of
his cabinet.
From the time Mr.. Fairbanks entered the
Senate he has refrained from engaging in
any law practice. having given his time eX
clusively to the government service.
Mr.. Fairbanks comes from a long line of
New England ancestry. About dozen
years before the town of Boston was settled
there arrived from England one Jonathan
Fayerbanke. his wife, four sons and two
daughters. They were Puritans and for
many generation 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.
The Fayerbanke family became well
known IN the early history of the MasSa-
chusetts colony. Jonathan Fayerbanke was
a man of strong mind who made his in
fiuence felt in the community. The house in
which he lived near Dedham was occupied
by his descendants until few years ago,
when it became the property of the Massa-
chusettS Historical Society.
His College Life.
Fairbanks at college was a type of the
country lad, six feet tall, rather awkward.
slow of speech, very slim. and ambitious to
get through college and become a lawyer.
He of 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 APP
piled 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
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 go
ing to Indianapolis it was suggested that
he accept a nomination prosecuting at
torney of his home county, in Ohio, and
enter politics. as did William Mckinley.
But he had nc political ambition at that
time and declined tho offer
