He was born in the town of Corsica, Ohio in on November 2, 1865. His first real 30b was an editor of the local newspaper, and that is what got him interested in public affairs. He was married to Florence Kling DeWolfe, against her father's wishes who was a prestigious banker of Marion. She became a major influence in his life, and as his fortune improved under her watchful eye he became more of a prominent figure in the local community then finally attracting the attention of political authorities. He won the seat on the Ohio Senate, then served on William H. Taft's committee at the Republican national convention. He ran for lieutenant governor and was shot down, then was defeated for governor; he then ran for the senatorial nomination and finally won. He liked serving in Senate and really made no important speeches or introduced any important legislation. Having respectable qualities as a senator he was nominated to run for the presidential office by the Republicans.

He mainly was a indifferent machine mouthing what the party told him to and not be creative or real with his own ideas. One main reason I believe this is because he did not really want the office, but felt more at home at the Senate but could not give up the opportunity. Some topics he used in his administration were as follows. He passed ship subsidies, a high tariff, immigration restrictions, and a Federal Budget system that lowered taxes. All of these were passed, except for the ship one, and made the country run smoothly for a time.

My day in his shoes would be an interesting one because I would be taking orders from either my wife or the public. I would begin by asking her what suit I should wear and what to eat then ask the public which taxes to lower and which tariffs to raise. I would then retire to my private quarters where I would discuss private matters concerning certain scandals recently put out in the open. I would f ind ways to keep them covered up and which people to bribe. I would then retire to my bedroom and sleep soundly.

Unfortunately, his presidency did not end as simple as it began, he was taking a vacation in Alaska a became ill on a cruise while
