MYRON T. HERRICK.
(522)
HON. MYRON T. HERRICK, GOVERNOR OF OHIO.
Myron T. Herrick was born at Huntington, Lorain County, Ohio, on the 9th of October, 1854, the son of Timothy R. and Mary L. Herrick. His father came from a Massachusetts family of colonial origin. His grandfather, Timothy Herrick, was one of the pioneers of Lorain County, Ohio, and was a soldier in the second war with England. Timothy R. Herrick, Governor Herrick's father, was born in Watertown, New York, in 1828.
Governor Herrick was educated in the district school at Huntington, the union schools at Wellington, Ohio, and later on attended college at Oberlin and at the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio. In 1899 the emeritus degree was conferred upon him by the Ohio Wesleyan University.
Governor Herrick came to Cleveland in the year 1875. He entered the law offices of J. F. & G. E. Herrick, and was admitted to the bar in 1878. Mr. Herrick was a successful lawyer, and latterly became well known as & business man and financier of ability. He is today recognized as one of the leading and most successful bankers in the country. He is at present the chairman of the executive council of the American Bankers' Association. In addition to his many financial interests, Governor Herrick is interested in various manufacturing, industrial and building enterprises in Cleveland, and the city has in many ways profited by the energy and public spirit which he has displayed.
Governor Herrick reorganized the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Company, and placed the property on a good business basis, and it now forms an impor- tant link in the Wabash system.
Governor Herrick's first vote was cast for President Rutherford B. Hayes, and he has ever since remained a Republican. He was a member of the Cleve- land city council in 1885, and accepted a re-election at the close of his first term of office. He has always taken an active interest in political issues, local and national. He was a delegate to the national conventions of 1888, 1892, 1896 and 1904, and elector-at-large for Ohio in 1900. He is at present a member of the Republican National Committee and of its Advisory Committee. Under President Mckinley he was offered the United States Treasurership, and later the United States Ambassadorship to Rome, but both of these were declined. He was also offered the Ambassadorship to Rome by President Roosevelt, but again declined. In 1893 he was a member of the Electoral College, and served as chairman of the prelimary session when Mckinley was nominated for Gov- ernor of Ohio. He was appointed by Governor Mckinley as a member of his military staff.
In 1886 he was elected secretary and treasurer of the Society for Savings, and in 1894, upon the death of the President, Samuel H. Mather, he succeeded him to the office of president, which he still occupies.
He became a candidate in 1903 for the office of governor of the state of Ohio, and received the marked honor of being selected as the unanimous choice of the nominating convention-the second instance of the kind in the history of the state, William McKinley being the other candidate for governor to receive this recognition-and he was elected governor of the state by a majority greater than that ever given a candidate for that office in Ohio.

THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.
The Constitution of Ohio provides that "The supreme executive power of the state shall be vested in the Governor."
He is elected by the people for a term of two years. He must be an elector and not hold any other office under the authority of the State or the United States. In case of death, removal or other disability, the Lieutenant-Governor shall execute the office of Governor. The Governor must see that the laws are faithfully executed and may request of the executive officials reports of their respective departments.
At every session of the General Assembly he must report the con- dition of the state by message. recommending therein such legislation as - may to him seem proper. He may convene the General Assembly upon extraordinary occasions. He may adjourn it in case of disagreement upon this subject between the two branches thereof.
The Governor is Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy and custodian of the Great Seal of the State.
. He may grant reprieves, commutations and pardons.
Must approve or disapprove all bills of the General Assembly.
Such, briefly, are the constitutional provisions relating to the Chief Executive.
In addition to the powers conferred and duties imposed upon the Governor by the Constitution, are those which the General Assembly has seen fit to provide by statute, and it is through these that the greater por- tion of the actual duties of this office arise, as well as most of the ap- pointive power of the Governor. As Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, it seems appropriate that he should appoint the Adjutant-Gen- era1, and the twelve other members of his military staff
There are certain state offices not created by the Constitution whose chief incumbents are nominated by the Governor, and by and with the ad- vice and consent of the Senate appointed. Such are the Commissioner of Insurance, Commissioner of Railroads and Telegraphs, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, Inspector of Workshops and Factories, Chief Mine In- spector, State Fire Marshal, Chief Examiner of Stationary Engineers, State Pension Claim Agent, and Chief Engineer of Public Works.
Numerous commissions, such as the Canal Commission, Shiloh Bat- tlefield Commission, and Fish and Game Commission, containing from two to seven members each, with terms varying from one to five years, have been created by law. Here vacancies are constantly occurring, which are filled by the Governor, and frequently he is called upon, when the General Assembly provides for some new commission, to appoint an entire board.
The Governor is ex-officio the President of the State Board of Chari- ties, composed of six members, who are appointed for a term of three

years. This Board exercises a general supervision of the public institu- tions, and is of valuable aid to the Governor in overseeing the numerous large state properties.„There are thirteen benevolent, two penal and two corrective institutions in this state.,Each of these is managed by a board of trustees composed of six members appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, for a term of five years.
Recurring to the duties of this office, we find the Governor, of neces- sity, a busy man. The actual duties of the office occupy much of his time, while the constant and pressing demands made by the general public leave him few spare moments.
He must examine and approve or veto all bills passed by the General Assembly, issue requisition papers, investigate applications for pardons, commutations and reprieves, certify under the Great Seal of the State as to the official character of numerous state and county officials ; upon appli- cation commission notaries public and commissioners of deeds, and, with few exceptions, commission all elective officers, both civil and military. He must attend board meetings, counsel heads of departments, maintain a general supervision of all great state institutions, examine, approve and sign numerous state papers, hear and dispose of complaints against in- dividuals and institutions, and keep a constant watch over the affairs of state. All of this entails the keeping of numerous records, the assorting and filing of many papers and constant attention to a large corre- spondence. To aid him in his work the Governor has a Private Secre- tary, three clerks and a messenger.

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
WARREN G. HARDING,
Lieutenant Governor.
(528)
i:
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WARREN G. HARDING. Publisher of the "Star," Marion, Ohio.
But few men in Ohio public life have made the rapid stride in general favor and esteem that has marked the career of Hon. Warren G. Harding. One of the leading Republican editors of Ohio and a member of the Senate in the 74th and 75th General Assemblies of Ohio, he is already at the front in party thought and leadership and other honors await his beck and call. In his capacity as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, Mr. Harding was presiding officer of the Senate of the 76th General Assembly and in all sessions of the last three legislatures he was among the men who dictated policies on questions of interest to the State and he was always consulted on matters of party action.
Lieutenant Governor Harding is a native of Morrow County, born at Corsica on the 2d of November, 1865, and secured his education at the old Ohio Central College at Iberia. In 1882 he taught school and afterwards began the study of the profession of law, but bing enamored of the newspaper business, be- came a writer for the press. Warren G. Harding entered public life in the sum- mer of 1899, when he was nominated senator from the Thirteenth District, com- posed of the counties of Logan, Union. Marion, Hardin, and was elected by a big majority. In 1901 Senator Harding broke the one term rule of the Thirteenth District that had been in vogue for half a century. His eloquence brought him the honor of presenting the name of Senator J. B. Foraker for a second election to the United States Senate.
At the Republican convention in June, 1903, in Columbus. Senator Harding was elected by acclamation for the office of Lieutenant Governor and his election followed in November of the same year.
His style of delivery is forcible, his arguments are convincing, his im- promptu wit is unfailing and his statistical knowledge and memory are won- derful.
He was married to Florence M. King, a highly educated and accomplished lady and a fitting helpmate to her distinguished husband.

THE BIOGRAPHICAL ANNALS OF OHIO.
The Secretary to the Governor.
SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR.
The duties of the Secretary to the Governor are of a personal rather than a public character. The official compensation of $800.00 per annum is but a partial compensation. Prior to 1904 the title of this office was "Private Secretary to the Governor." The following list of private secretaries is apparently incomplete, as no sufficient record exists prior to 1867 of the gentlemen who acted in this capacity.
