HANNA NOT HEARD FROM.
No Further Steps Taken In Local
Executive Committeeship Matter.

Col. Parker was long time home at
lunch today During his absence his Of
ice was besicged bycailers. They occu-
pied every chair in the little way-back
rooms ON + street, and a few Were so
impatient that they pranced up and down
the hail outside. Just about O'Clock Col.
Parker strobe over + street and met MI
Is. ii. Warner at his door.
There's not a thing new" said Col
Parker TO a Times man. "Of course, We
have not heard from Mr.. Hanna, and like
wise nothing has been done toward forming
the executive committee
Mr.. Parker could not be stopped any
longer. and was allowed to throw his s
feet . inches of height and more than 200
pounds weight against two swinging glass
door that's that quickly let him through into
the horde OF chair-warmers.
"Parker's big m an now, isn't he?" said
n bystander, who knows IA few about the
local political bosses. Have you heard
how Mr.. Parker dropped into his present
PLACE of boss No, well, 1t was this way:
an the last camlalg gn Ar. farker was one
of committee of ten who raised money
here in the District for the Republicans.
He was active and gave generously of
his own funds, but he was handicapped 10y
the inactivity of some of his colleagues
and by the indifference of many monied
men His individual work was, however,
recognized.
During the present campaign Mr.. l.. G.
Wine, IA partner of b. II. Warner, and
warm personal friend OF MIR. Parker, re.
ceived u letter inviting him to take hold OF
the District fund work. He was very busy,
not too fond of politics and indisposed To
-iIt.uu the necessary time ia mone gather
ing.
What was more natural than that he
should consult Mr.. Warner, and together
they agreed upon Mr.. Parker. The letter
nom Mr.. Hanna was shown him and he
accepted the honor.
Then he went to work. thoroughly or
ganized his collection bureau and kept tab
on the delinquents.
Mr.. Woodward gave literally and has
been chosen for the Craftsmanship. That's
the story as it really happened. You watch
