Ohio Governors Collection
Description: This 21 page booklet contains the text of Governor Judson Harmon’s annual message to the 80th General Assembly on January 6, 1913. Harmon (1846-1927), a conservative Democrat, served as Attorney General under President Cleveland before becoming the 45th governor of Ohio. During his administration, which ran from 1909 to 1913, Harmon exercised his authority through fairness and efficiency. He restored order and trust in government by setting high standards for officials and organizing departments so that they ran more efficiently. This emphasis on economy and efficiency was of utmost importance to Harmon, though the assembly also passed various progressive measures during his administration. View on Ohio Memory.
