"BWitfKiWh,'V ' .OKiUH'Wff-' ,-W- AWMW-n VVOOD county, one of the V most important of the many counties in the great State of Ohio, and of the 331 Senatorial District, has not been honored with a State Senator since 1853, and it is, therefore, but a just tribute to the Republicans' of the rcounty that one of our citizens should be selected to jjrace the ticket nominated by the Republi can Senatorial convention of this district. For mam' years Wood' county has been accustomed to labor for the election of candidates who have been selected from other counties of the district, and never have the Republicans failed to do their entire duty in this re spect, and it was but a fitting acknowledgment of worthy ef forts of the past, that Wood county should be honored with a candidate for Senator this j-ear. In the nomination of Mr. Hankey one of Wood county's most worthy citizens and Repub licans has been selected, and by his election the senatorial dis trict will be represented earnestly, faithfully and well; its interests will, in every particular, be giv en the care and attention of an active and able .legislator; and when the time arrives for the se lection of a Senator to succeed Calvin S. Brice, in the U. S. Sen ate, Mr. Hankey's vote will con form to the sovereign will of the people and will be cast for the grand and gallant Republican, ex-Governor Joseph B. Foraker. Mr. Hankey's entire life has been one of activity and progres sion. Being thrown uponhisown resources at a very earl- age he has by energy, sound judgment and honorable methods, suc ceeded in rising to a position of independence and affluence. He has never been an office seeker, and with the exception of an appointment as trustee of the State Blind asylum during the administration of Governor Foraker, has never held an office, and in this instance he disposed of the duties with credit to him self, the institution and the State. Of his early life and struggles at the beginning of his career the evening Tribune of Bowling Green published the following: "John R. Hankey was born on a farm in Wayne count', O., in the vear 1843. At an early age he was taught to till the soil and fell the trees of the dense forests which were on every side. A very meagre education was ob tained at the country schools, which, to saiy the best, were not excellent; but worse yet, he did not have the chance he. should have had to attend even these. At the ag-e of seven years his mother died, and the boy was left without that valuable and lasting advice which none but a mother can impart. Later the father moved from: the old farm into West Salam. 'At the age of 15 years the subject of this sketch determined to leave the parental roof and seek his fortune by hard knocks. Work was not plenty in his home town and he started out on foot to Wooster, a distance of 17 miles. Upon arriving in the city he made application with the J. B. Child's clothing firm for a position. The proprietor saw that there was something in the lad and gave him work at SI 00 per year and board. Well it was that he was so lucky, for he had not sufficient mone- in his pocket to purchase a square meal. Young Hankey was care ful and attentive to business and was not long in learning the ways of trade which soon made -him a valuable man to his em ployer." He continued with the Child's coNrr-umcn on kiuiitii i'agi:.
