Michael Vincent DiSalle (January 6, 1908 – September 14, 1981)〔"Michael V. DiSalle, 73, Former Governor of Ohio," ''New York Times,'' September 17, 1981.〕 was a Democratic politician from Ohio. He served as the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio and the 60th Governor of Ohio. ==Early life and career== He was born in New York City, to Italian American immigrant parents, Anthony and Assunta DiSalle. His family moved to Toledo, Ohio, when he was three years old. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University and married the former Myrtle E. England. The couple had four daughters and one son.〔 DiSalle attended law school and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1932.〔 He was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1937, then ran for and was elected to a series of positions in Toledo. In 1946, DiSalle ran for a seat in the United States House of Representatives but lost to the incumbent, Republican Homer A. Ramey. DiSalle was elected as mayor of Toledo, and served from 1948 to 1950.〔Zimmerman, ''Call Me Mike: A Political Biography of Michael V. DiSalle,'' 2003.〕 He ran (unsuccessfully) for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate in 1950.〔 In December 1950, President Harry S. Truman named DiSalle director of the Office of Price Stabilization, a Korean War-era agency which established and enforced wartime price controls. He resigned on January 23, 1952, to run for the Senate again, and lost in the general election to incumbent Republican Senator John W. Bricker.〔Loftus, "Key Price Job Goes to Toledo's Mayor," ''New York Times,'' December 1, 1950; Marcus, ''Truman and the Steel Seizure Case: The Limits of Presidential Power,'' 1977; Egan, "DiSalle to Enter Race For Senate," ''New York Times,'' January 24, 1952.〕 DiSalle was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio in 1956, but was defeated. In 1958 DiSalle had a rematch against his opponent, C. William O'Neill. This time DiSalle won. The length of the Governor's term had been increased to four years and DiSalle served from 1959 to 1963. In July 1959 DiSalle signed the bill making "With God, all things are possible" the official motto of the State of Ohio. The motto is derived from the Gospel of ''Matthew'' 19:26. DiSalle was Ohio's favorite son candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 1960. He ran only in his home state, which he won by a comfortable margin of 60.25% against his opponent, Albert S. Porter.〔(Our Campaigns – OH US President – D Primary Race – May 3, 1960 )〕 This secured him sixth place in total popular vote in the primaries (behind John F. Kennedy, Pat Brown, George H. McLain, Hubert Humphrey and George Smathers).〔(Our Campaigns – US President – D Primaries Race – Feb 1, 1960 )〕 He lost reelection as governor in 1962 after voters disapproved of his support for an end to capital punishment, a tax hike, and a state policy that billed wards of the state for living necessities.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael DiSalle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
