Durbin / from her friend / Charles W. Fairbanks / 1900." A great piece of Indiana political history. This copy is inscribed to the First Lady of Indiana, Bertha McCullough Durbin, the wife of Governor Winfield T. Durbin, who served as Governor of Indiana from 1901-1905. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks (1852-1918) was selected as Vice President for the 1904 election, a nod to conservative factions of the Republican Party.

Fairbanks retired from public life, except for an unsuccessful campaign in 1916 as Charles Evan Hughes vice-presidential nominee. Presentation copy by Charles W. Fairbanks, then United States Senator from Indiana and future Vice President of the United States, to the First Lady of Indiana, Mrs. Winfield T. Durbin.
