SOME REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES S---CHAS. ". FAIRBANKS

Washington, June 13.-Nicknamei
attached to public men stick closer
than burrs to woody dog. The four
legged animal may be relieved of his
discommodlng alliances by a close
shave. but no matter how a politician
may seek to slde-step. the nickname
clings to him still. He bears 1t. through
life and on his death bed he knows
that II will appear In his obituary
and will be embalmed in history
II doesn't make a particle of diff
ference whether the name Is appro-
pirate or not-whether 1t really indl-
Gates personal trait OF character or
appearance or habit-once attached 1t
stays.
SO Chales Warren Fairbanks, long
time Senator from Indiana, more
than three years vice president of thr
United States, may expect until the
end Of his days to see himself refer
red to In the ribald press as Butter
milk Charley" or "Icewater Charley"
Now Fairbanks himself Joins in the
But In the interests OF truth It is me-
cessary to state that neither nickname
is justified
Fairbanks will tell you himseuf that
he does not like buttermllk and that
he has not tasted It since he was
boy on his fathers farm. The name
is supposed to have been attached to
him in connection with a certain din
ner In indianapolis to the president
OF the United States at which the vice
president is alleged to have served
cocktails, thereby incurrlng the dis
pleasure of sundry prohibitionists.
But there is a nebulous uncertainty
whether the cognomen was bestowed
by a comic paper. or by some fool
friend" who, while admitting that
cocktails were served for those who
wanted them found II necessary to as
sert that Fairbanks did not partake
but contented himself with a glass OF
that product OF the COW from which
the substance has been churned out.
Not An Iceberg.
Whether Fairbanks did or did not
absorb a cocktail on this historic oc-
casion, It is quite certain that he did
not partake Of buttermilk. As for
the "icewater" designation the refu-
tation is equally complete except that
the vice president personally admits
that he has used that beverage some
shines since he was a boy. But the
changes have been rung on II until
one would really think that to ap-
proach Fairbanks was almost as per-
ilous as to run foul OF giant iceberg
at sea. II is only outside Of his own
state that he is regarded as "icy" and
then only by people who don't know
him.
There may be little OF the magnetic
about him, but when a man has been
able to bind to himself the state or.
ganizatlon of his party three times in
behalf Of his candidacy for the L. S.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-13

/ senatet-which was successful by
unanimous vote the first time that his
party was In the majority; when he
has been able to turn his state from
being strongly democratic to being
even more strongly republican; when
he has had the courage to resist the
demand for free silver and the ca
pacity to carry his party with him ;
and when he can secure the support
OF his entire state for his preslden-
tial ambitions-there is surely some
thing about the man that is attrac-
tive and not repellant, and that shows
that warm blood runs in his veins, not
icewater.
AS a matter of fact. he is a cordial.
warm hearted and of general impul-
ses. 1t is the fault Of his manner
rather than of his heart II people re-
ceive the impression that he Is cold,
for those who know him best say he
is the reverse of that.
Not Even a Millionaire.
There is one appellation frequently
applied to Fairbanks which he pos.
sibly wishes might be true. He is
generally referred to as a millionaire.
He says II Is doubtful whether he is
really worth 100000. However
much 1t is. he made every cent of his
fortune himself Fairbanks is a self
made man.
First seeing the light In a log cab
in on a farm near Unionville, Center,
Ohio, in course Of time he went t.
the Ohio Wesleyan University at Del
aware, o. There he went halves with
a fellow student, shared his room,
helped do the cooking, and added to
their limited resources by doing a
little carpentering an roofing out of
school hours. He was rather an un-
calmly object in those days. He was
six feet tall and very thin. freckled
and with tousled black hair. Now
adays. with his methodlcal mind and
frugal incllnations there is a place
for every hair and he carefully
brushes 1t up over the bald spot and
down on the other side.
In those bashful days of early
youth he made good. After gradua,
tion he became a reporter in Pitts
burg and later in Chicago. At the
same time he studied law assiduously
and took one term in a Cleveland, o..
law school and was admitted TO the
bar Of the supreme court of that state.
Shortly thereafter he married Miss
Cornelia Cole OF Marysville. o. They
had been co-editors of their college
paper at Delaware.
23 Years In Politics.
He hung out his law shingle in In
dianapolis in 1874, and for the next
% years. until he was elected TO the
senate, he devoted his whole time to
his practice and to politics.
A strong party man. he took a
great interest in the republican cause
and an active part in every campaign
in the state. He was a strong polIti-
