DRESIDENT, Statesman, Politician, Reformer, Ranchman and
P "Rough Rider”; born in New York City, October 27, 1858. He
was educated in Harvard, and afterward traveled Europe. Re-
turning to America he was elected to the State Assembly at Albany,

composed of crack shots and fighters from both east and west. He
led the regiment up San Juan Hill, at Santiago, July 1, 1898, and
was soon afterward promoted to its Colonelcy. On his return
to New York he was tendered the republican nomination for Gov-
ernor, and was elected. He was elected Vice-President of the
United States on the McKinley ticket Nov. 6, 1900, and became
president Sept. 14, 1901 by the death of McKinley. Was re-elected
