and a born leader. He used to Organize
things among the boys even at that early
date, and gave evidences of the remarka-
BILE executive ability which was so con-
spicuously displayed during the late pres
idential and senatorial campaigns. He was
positive and determined. and mastered
whatever he undertook.
Hanna was fond of all athletic sports,
and was a leader in these. He was practi-
cal and had little sentiment. What he
wanted done lie saw that it was done. and
