This article presents information on the book "Rutherford B. Hayes," by H.J. Eckenrode. This new life of Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the U.S. from 1877 to 1881, is the first of a projected series on American Political Leaders. It is a book which all statesmen will want to read. For Hayes's life gives a satisfactory answer to that ever tantalizing query; how can a mediocre man, endowed with no natural talents, small intellect, unable or dreading to possess convictions can become President of the U.S.? Reading Eckenrode's new book one sees how easy it is.
