A boarding house near the legislature building. And putnam came to him. Putnam was old enough to have been his father, came up to his room and said youve got to get up out of bed because were going to cast the vote today. And he said i cant. He said youve got to. So he did. Some people say he was carried in on a stretcher. I found no proof of that. In any event, he got to the legislature. He gave a powerful speech, and he voted. And the measure to introduce slavery into ohio and thus the whole Northwest Territory was defeated by one vote. [applause] and yet nobody has ever heard of his name. [applause] people have said to me, if you had put this in a novel, your editor would say no, this would never happen in real life. It did happen in real life. And we should know about that and know about him and hes the one who did more than anybody else to get education passed by the Legislature Later on providing School Public schooling public learning all the way through the university of ohio.
