Mark Hanna, when asked about the
matter today. said that the friends OF
Governor Mckinley are DESTROYS OF
having this matter determined by the
conven ton itself. The indications are
that there viii be candidates for the
vice presidency from twenty different
states. The roll started with three or
four. Additional ones are being added
each day. The south will make a fight
for il, the east will be a vigorous op-
ponent, and the west would be pleased

Clayton can get his oEn state. prob
