You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Simeon Davison Fess''' (December 11, 1861 – December 23, 1936) was a [[United States Republican Party|Republican]] politician and educator from [[Ohio]], United States. He served in the [[United States House of Representatives]] (1915 to 1923) and [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] (1923 to 1935).

==Early life==
Born on a farm near [[Harrod, Ohio]], to Henry and Barbara (Herring) Fess, he was educated in country schools and graduated at [[Ohio Northern University]] (ONU) of [[Ada, Ohio|Ada]] in 1889 and married Eva C. Thomas the following year.  After graduation, he taught history and law at the university as well was working in the university administration from 1889 to 1896.  Fess graduated from the [[Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law|law department at ONU]] in 1894 and served as dean of that department from 1896 to 1900.  He then served as vice president of the university from 1900 to 1902.  He left for [[Illinois]] to become a graduate student and lecturer at the [[University of Chicago]] from 1902 to 1907.  He then returned to Ohio and served as the president of [[Antioch College]] of [[Yellow Springs, Ohio|Yellow Springs]] from 1907 to 1917.

==Politics==
In 1912, while still serving at Antioch College, Fess was a delegate to the state constitutional convention as well as being elected as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] to the U.S. House of Representatives, serving from March 4, 1913 – March 3, 1923 ([[Ohio's 6th congressional district|6th district]] 1913–15, [[Ohio's 7th congressional district|7th district]] 1915–23).  He served as chairman of the [[United States House Committee on Education and Labor|Committee on Education]] during the [[66th United States Congress|Sixty-sixth]] and [[67th United States Congress|Sixty-seventh]] Congresses, and chairman of the [[Republican National Congressional Committee]] from 1918 to 1922.  In 1922, he did not seek re-election, but ran for the U.S. Senate and won, serving from March 4, 1923, to January 3, 1935.  He served as chairman of the [[United States Congress Joint Committee on the Library|Committee on the Library]] during [[69th United States Congress|Sixty-ninth]] through [[72nd United States Congress|Seventy-second]] Congresses, and as [[Assistant party leaders of the United States Senate|Republican Whip]] from 1929 to 1933.  He also served as chairman of the [[Republican National Committee]] 1930–32. After his appointment, the ''[[Cincinnati Enquirer]]'' referred to Fess as a "party wheelhouse and stand patter of the most approved type," and added "It was Senator Fess's proven ability not only to defend, but to eulogize, the acts of Republican administrations, no matter how unpopular they may be, that led to his selection as national chairman."<ref>Cincinnati Enquirer, August 11, 1930, p. 4</ref> Fess campaigned for the reelection of President [[Herbert Hoover]] by claiming Hoover was "the country's greatest peacetime leader,"<ref name=":0">Marion [Ohio] Star, October 5, 1932, p. 1.</ref> a hard sell in the fall of 1932. That speech, a month before the presidential election, was delivered to just 150 listeners,<ref name=":0" /> a sign of the Republican Party's problems in mid-[[Great Depression|Depression]].  He was an unsuccessful candidate for a third term as senator in 1934.

==Retirement and death==
Fess was a [[Methodist]], an editor, an author and a member of the [[Freemasonry|Freemasons]] and [[Knights of Pythias]].  He died in [[Washington, D.C.]], at the age of 75 and is interred at Glen Forest Cemetery in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
