DiSalle was born on January 6, 1908, 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.

1931

He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University in 1931.

He married Myrtle E. England; the couple had four daughters and one son.

1932

DiSalle was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1932.

1936

In 1936, DiSalle was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives; he served one term and lost an election for the Ohio Senate in 1938.

Following the loss, DiSalle held a series of offices in the city government of Toledo, Ohio.

1939

He was assistant law director from 1939 to 1941.

1941

In 1941, he was elected to the Toledo City Council; the council selected him as vice-mayor in 1943 and 1945.

1946

In 1946, DiSalle ran in the U.S. House election in the Toledo-based 9th district, but he lost narrowly to the Republican incumbent, Homer A. Ramey.

1948

A Democrat, he was a member of the Toledo City Council and served as the 46th mayor of Toledo from 1948 to 1950.

1949

In 1949, the University of Notre Dame conferred him an honorary doctorate of law.

1950

DiSalle was elected as mayor of Toledo in 1947 and re-elected in 1949, and served from 1948 until his resignation on November 30, 1950, to accept a federal appointment.

During his mayoralty, Toledo fully re-paid its debts.

In 1950, he ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate.

He lost to then-state auditor Joseph T. Ferguson, who in turn lost the general election to the Republican incumbent, Robert A. Taft.

In December 1950, President Harry S. Truman appointed DiSalle as director of the Office of Price Stabilization, a sub-agency of the Korean War-era Economic Stabilization Agency which established and enforced war-time price controls.

1952

DiSalle resigned as director on January 23, 1952, in order to run again for U.S. Senate.

He won the Democratic nomination but lost the general election to the Republican incumbent, John W. Bricker.

In December 1952, President Truman (now a lame duck) appointed DiSalle as director of the Economic Stabilization Agency, replacing Roger Putnam.

1953

The appointment lasted less than one month, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower abolished the agency on April 30, 1953.

1954

The gubernatorial term had in 1954 been lengthened from two years to four years, starting with the 1958 election; so DiSalle served as governor from 1959 to 1963.

1956

In 1956, DiSalle was the Democratic nominee for governor of Ohio, losing to then-state attorney general C. William O'Neill.

1958

In their 1958 re-match, DiSalle defeated O'Neill.

He ran only in the Ohio primary, which he won with 60.25% of the vote against Albert S. Porter, who had run against him in the gubernatorial primary in 1958.

Of the total popular vote in the primaries, DiSalle placed sixth behind eventual nominee Sen. John F. Kennedy, as well as Gov. Pat Brown, perennial candidate George H. McLain, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, and Sen. George Smathers.

1959

In July 1959, DiSalle signed a bill designating "with God, all things are possible" as the official motto of the State of Ohio.

The motto is derived from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 19, verse 26.

1960

DiSalle was a favorite son candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1960.

1962

In 1962, DiSalle lost re-election as governor to then-state auditor Jim Rhodes, after voters disapproved of several aspects of his administration, including his opposition to capital punishment, a tax increase, and a policy which billed wards of state for living necessities.

DiSalle was an opponent of the death penalty and commuted a number of sentences, despite allowing six executions as governor.

DiSalle personally investigated all cases of people scheduled to be executed by electric chair and even personally met with some of them.

"To demonstrate his faith in rehabilitation, [DiSalle] made it a point to hire convicted murderers to serve on his household staff."

One of DiSalle's primary concerns regarding the death penalty was that poorer defendants did not have the same access to counsel as rich defendants, and therefore would suffer the death penalty disproportionately.

He recalled: "I found that the men in death row had one thing in common: they were penniless".

After leaving the governorship, DiSalle co-founded and served as a chairman of the National Committee to Abolish Federal Death Penalty.

1965

His 1965 book, The Power of Life or Death, discusses this issue and chronicles his difficult experiences as the man charged with making the final decision regarding a sentence commutation.

He is quoted in the book Mercy on Trial: What It Means to Stop an Execution as saying, "No one who has never watched the hands of a clock marking the last minutes of a condemned man's existence, knowing that he alone has the temporary Godlike power to stop the clock, can realize the agony of deciding an appeal for executive clemency".

1966

In 1966, he joined the Washington, D.C., law firm of Chapman, Duff, and Paul.
