those two mistakes guaranteed that william mckinley would die. once mckinley was dead, the first thing that his number one paet ron and friend, mark hannah. mark hannah was an ohio businessman and important political boss at this time. when he learned mckinley was dead he said the following. now, that damn cowboy is president of the united states. and he was referring to theodore roosevelt, who was in fact, our vice president. and how t.r. happened to be vice president is a really intriguing story. roosevelt might have been a devout republican, but he was a liberal. by temperament and inclination he was a reformer. and that was enough to make him public enemy number one in the mind of tom platte, who was the republican boss in the state of new york. and the man who ran one of the most powerful and effective political machines in all of america. and platte had had a belly full of roosevelt and his conscience, his complaints, and objections. and he resolved to use his political power to force roosevelt onto the political ticket of william mckinley.

william mckinley, from pennsylvania, he is exactly the kind of person that madison dislikes. he had taken advantage of the revolution, now a politician in pennsylvania. he comes from the western part of the state and he is a fan of the farmers who want paper money and he is much hated by the elites. he is asked by the legislature -- there is a meeting that is going to take place to presumably reform the article. that is the way it is phrased. the legislature acts -- asks -- [indiscernible] he says, that these other guys do it. the pennsylvania delegation was made up of seven people who lived in philadelphia. nobody from the rest of the state. one of the representatives wasn't even a resident, was not a citizen. robert morris says, why don't you come along? because he is the man actually wrote the constitution. why don't you come to this meeting? governor morris spoke for the pennsylvania delegation through the old convention. finley had no idea that that was going to happen. they did not tell him in advance. it was a loaded convention. made up of what you might call nationali

william mckinley was supposed to be here, but his wife, ida, who was in ill health, prevented him from coming, so roosevelt substituted for him in may of 1901. and then, of course, when mckinley was shot on september 6th of 1901, roosevelt was looking for a hotel room and just by chance bumped into ansley wilcox, and mr. wilcox offered him his home to stay while he was in buffalo tending to the wounded president. >> the family is on mt. marcy, the highest peak in new york state, camping, hiking. a runner comes up the mountain -- no small feat in and of itself -- to let roosevelt know that the president has taken a turn for the worse and that he needs to immediately get back to buffalo, that there is really no hope for the president. so, it's a 30-mile journey to the north creek station, railroad station, and he takes three carriages, three teams of horses to do the 30 miles, going down mountain roads at a breakneck speed. of course, if you can just imagine what it must be like, it was pitch dark, it was rainy. he's holding a lantern in order to see ahead on the road. it's a wonder that
