IL we can induce the national committee TO
deal fairly with them. and OF this we have
no doubt. Because we have our fight won is
no reason why we should permit a compro-

each side half vote. Either our men were

they were not, and we propose TO fight 1t

Mr.. Hanna, the chief manager for Major
Mckinley, began a systematic effort to
make friends Of members of the national
committee who had not already been count.

ergetic and skillful work is that 32 ont of

regarded as Mckinley men This does not |
mean that they will vote for the Mckinley |
contestants right or wrong but that they |
