Author Description

Excerpt from From McKinley to Harding: Personal Recollections of Our Presidents My vote was for Harrison. My choice was Mc Kinley. I did not like President Harrison. Al though I recognized his ability and honesty, his manner chilled me. Many people admired him, but he had very few warm friends. It was said of him by Tom Reed that Senator Harrison carried his lunch in his coat-tail pocket during the Senate ses sion and then ate a cold lunch. I came in personal touch with him two or three times, but there was no contact of enthusiasm. Per haps I was somewhat prejudiced by our Illinois sen ator, Charles B. Farwell, who hated Harrison with all his nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
