The president-general, undaunted by a die-hard faction that called her "King George", and made ominous accusations that the congress had been a "steam-roller convention", seems to have won a great victory.

He did not live to outgrow Ohio, like a William Howard Taft or a Theodore Elijah Burton. He would have resented the suggestion that he could ever outgrow Ohio.
