At the age of fifteen he entered Ohio Wesleyan College and did carpenter work to earn his first law books. After graduation Mr. Fairbanks worked for a brief period as a newspaper man and then went to Cleveland to complete his study of the law. Opening a law office in Indianapolis, he took a deep interest in politics and assisted in local, state and national cam- paigns, managing Walter Q. Gresham's campaign for the republican nomination for the presi- dency in 1888 and later working hard for Benjamin Harrison’s nomination. | Mr. Fairbanks is credited with having written the “sound money” plank into the repub- lican platiorm of 1896. : | _ Mr. irbanks was elected to the’United States Senate in 1897. He served as a member of the United States and British joint commission which dealt with the Alaskan boundary question. He was elected Vice President on the republican ticket with Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.
