may say anything good you want about
his election 1t would have been a great
national calamity if he had been de-
feated.
Senator Manson, of Illinois: Glory to
God in the highest. Peace ana good
win among Republicans.
Senator PettigreW, OF South Dakota:
If Hanna is elected it is a good thing
for the cause of reform, He should be
kept before the public as the embodl-
ment of good principles.
Senator Spooner. of Wisconsin: /
must beg to be excused. l want to
listen TO the debate just now.
Representative John \. Mcdowell, of
Ohio: [ don't know whether to re-
jcice or To mourn over the news taat
comes from Columbus. While the Dem
ocrats have lest a Senator, they have
certainly made great gains in other
ways. and the best Of it is the benefit
derived from this fight viii be lasting.
The factional feeling among the Re
publicans OF Ohio has become so bitter
that in either Mr.. Hanna'S S defeat or MS
election the party VIII be disruptcd Tor
wears to come. 1t is difficult To say
whether his election or defeat Will have
the greater effect upon Ohio politics.
| believe. however. that his election
will benefit National Democracy more
| than his defeat would. He is regarded
as the greatest boss that has ever ap
! peared in State or national politics.
/ His political methods and domineering
ways are distasteful to members of MS
own party. There is a strong, honest
J conviction among Ohio Republicans
f! that Mr. Hanna's return to the Senatc
will prove disastrous to his party and
especially to this administration In
my opinion Mr KurtZ would never
have organized the opposition he hal
against Mr.. Hanna had it not been that
many Republicans looked with alarm
( upon his reelection. Those who have
made the open fight against Hanna did
so for the purpose of purging the par
ty of what they regard as extremely
bad and dangerous in politics. If it
shall prove that they have rot succeed
( ed at this time they will undoubtedly
/ press on in this worthy cause. Nothing
, can be more certain than that AIR.
I Hanna is not the choice of the majority
! of Ohio voters. Had his return to the
/ United States Senate depended last No
! vember on a direct vote of the suffrag-
lists OF Ohio. he would have suffered an
! overwhelming defeat. Mr. Hanna :
! election at this time, under the exist
ing conditions and circumstances. does
! not carry great honor with it. He was
saved undoubtedly by the personal ef-
+ forts of the Administration. The close
shave that Mr.. Hanna had last NoVen-
ber and the determined effort of lead
/ ing Republicans to defeat him in the
4 General Assembly must be regarded as
/ a severe rebulle to the national chair
man of the Republican party, 1t shows
( that there is a growing feeling against
/ millionaire political bosses.
Representative Brown. of Ohio The
result at Columbus yesterday was the
only result that could or should have
/ been reached l am sincerely glad that
Mr.. Hanna has succeeded. and be-
lieve it is the best thing for the Re
publican party.
Representative Danford. of Ohio:
Senator Hanna was the choice of the
State, as expressed in State and coun-
( ty convention. Any other result than
the one reached would have been vio-
lation of party faith and party pledges.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts: OF
! course, / am delighted to know that
Mr.. Hanna viii be returned. He was
evidently the choice of the people of
the State, and the legislature voiced
the sentiments of the State in sending
him back.
Senator Wellington, of Maryland: 1t
was the only fair and proper thing to
/ do. 1t was more than a personal tri-
umph for Mr.. Hanna. 1t was a tri-
umph for party organization and gov
eminent. If the minority is to rule
parties. it will be subyersive of all Or
ganizations. / believe the action of the
I Ohio legislature viii have a salutary
/ effect on the Marylan situation. I am
sincerely glad to see Mr.. Hanna come
/ back"
Senator Perkins. of California: The
election of Mr.. Hanna is a triumph of
justice and right. He was recognized
as the candidate of his party, endorsed
by his State convention and by all but
four of the county conventions. He de-
served reelection, and the party is to
be congratulated upon its action.
