Rutherford B. Hayes – 133.9
Rutherford B. Hayes was the 19th President of the United States, serving from 1877 to 1881 as a Republican politician. He served three terms as governor of Ohio and was a member of the now-defunct Whig party before becoming president. Hayes supported the expansion of the civil rights of the black community but the Democratic majority in Congress interfered with his efforts. Hayes was another well-known proponent of the civil service tests, believing that it was more vital and just for government officials to be hired on the basis of talent rather than political connections.
