read with widespread interest Mr.. Miller has
taken occasion to say that he is not candidate

Mckinley and also that the old and discarded
story that I had visited Mr.. Hanna and made
arrangements with him. has been revived.

Vice. President I have replied that | was not

BILE conditions that might arise. I have not
