and to appointments and promotion
in it. BY his rigorous enforcement o
laws and ordinances he gave unwonte'
effectiveness to the office.
This post he relinqaished in 1872
to become assistant secretary of thu
navy, under John ID. Long, in the frs
administration of President Mckinley
He rapidly acquired the wide knOwl
edge necessary to the proper execution
of his position, and with it knowledge
began to advocate the preparation Of
| the navy for war, with the effect which
was SO signally to the triumph Of
American arms in the Spanish-Ameri
can war. He called for appropriations
| totalling $1,300,000 for ammunition fol
naval target practice, and though this
was at the time deemed extravagant
the course was justified at Manila and
Santiago, in the skill of the American
gunners.
On May 6, 1898, he resigned his
assistant secretaryship to enter the
army AS basis for such career
he had some experience gained III
the New York national guard, oil
which he was captain from 1884
to 1888, serving in the Eighth regi
ment of infantry He joined Leonard
Wood, captain and surgeon, now a
major general, in recruiting the first
United States volunteer cavalry, a
regiment which became famous later
as the Rough Riders. OF this he be
came lieutenant colonel, Wood being
regimental commander. Notwith
standing the fact that he was second
in command, the organization was al
most universally called "Roosevelt's s
Rough Riders. Many of it's mem
bers were cowboys from the west
ern ranges, New Mexico and Ari,
zona furnishing a large number OF
troopers.
On July / he led this regiment in
its victorious charge up San Juan
bill, charge in which the Ninth
cavalry participated under his lead
ership. On July II he was promoted
colonel, and in September was mus
tered out.
On September 27 he was nominal
ed republican candidate for the gov
ernorship of New York, obtaining
1853 ballots against the 21S given
Governor F. S. Black. He entered on
ar active campaign, visiting nearly
every portion OF the state and win
ming the support of many independ-
ent members of both parties, win
ming by a plurality of 1909 over his
democratic opponent, Judge Angus,
tus Van Wyck.
He at first declined to sanction the
use of his name in connection with
the vice presidency in Mckinley's
second campaign, but finally yielded
and was nominated hy acclamation at
the republican national convention in
Philadelphia on June q, 1900. He
Immediately went on an EXTENDED
speaking tour, including the far west
ern states. 1t is believed that his
efforts had much to do with the sue
cess of the ticket.
The assassination of President Nc
Kinley placed him in the presidential
chair, the oath of Office being admin
istered to him on September IA,
1901, by United States District Judge
John r. Hazel.
Upon his accession he announced
that he would unbrokenly continue

SKETCHOF,s
ROOSEVELT

Theodore Roosevelt, American poll
| tician and author, was the twenty
sixth president of the United States
He was born in the state of New
York, on the twenty-seventh of Oc
tober, 1858. His education was gained
privately, primarily, his later work
being done at Harvard university
He graduated from that institution
in 1880, and travelled for a year in
Europe, a portion of the world
which he frequently revisited.
His first book was published on
the completion of his tour. 1t was
entitled "The Naval War of 1872,
and was characterized, as were his
later works, by accuracy, creditable
research and vigorous statement.
Mr.. Roosevelt came into politics
as champion of civil service prin-
ciples. He was elected in the fall
of 1881 to the state assembly OF
New York, representing the twenty
first district. He served continu-
ously in that body until 1884. In
that body he introduced the first civ
il service act ever presented to 1t,
which passed in 1883. In 1884 he
was made chairman of the New
York delegation to the republican
convention.
He was nominated in 1886 as an
independent candidate for the may
orally of New York, but was defeat
ed by Abraham S. Hewitt, candidate
of the united democracy, although he
received republican endorsement
against Mr.. Hewitt, his opponent
had about $4,000 plurality.
President Harrison named him a
member of the civil service commits
sion in 1889 and there he continued
until May, 1895. During this six
years incumbency he endeavored to
apply the test of merit to all exec
utive positions, with the result that
the commission attained a position OF
Importance which it has never lost.
Civil service law gained new vital
ity through his efforts. When he be-
gan his term, $4,000 employees held
their positions under civil service
regulation; when1 he left the COM
mission, the number had increased to
10000.
Mr.. Roosevelt resigned from the
civil service commission to become
head of the board of New York police
commissioners during the administra-
tion of Mayor Strong. In this capaci-
ty he took up thorough reorganiza-
ton, insisting among other principles,
upon an impartial application of the
civil service idea to the police force

 The bill being q democratic meas ure passed for campaign purposes was not expected to pass. or given any great consideration by the upper house which is republican and it Ia doubtful if the democrats themselves would care to see the measure become opera tive
