ing the presidential campaign he put in
more hours than a newspaper reporter.
His head was kept going night and day
and he gave up the quiet evenings
which he was wont to have with his
family. During his senatorial cam
psign he Travelled in a common car.
He spoke several times a day for weeks
and went right down among the people.
He wanted to show them, he said, that
he had not horns as one of the New
York papers had stated, and that he
was plain, common sense fellow after
all. All this time he was affected with
rheumatism and trouble with his heart,
He got up to speak night after night
when he knew he should have been in
bed, and he made a campaign which
would have worn out a much younger
man. AS it is you know he is now over
sixty and his life race has been made
at a two-forty pace. He is Of that ma
ture that he can't do things by halves.
If he goes into an enterprise 1t must
succeed if he dies with his success.
Foraker, on the other hand, works
equally hard. He is, however, a much
younger man and his muscles are like
iron. Campaigning is an old thing to
him. 1t is as natural for him to speak
as to eat, and his frame is packed full

thinks on his feet He jots down from
time to time before making a speech
the things he wants to say. This clari-
f1es the matter in his mind, and when he
takes the stump his magnetism, enthu-
siasm and oratorical power do the rest.
He never makes two speeches alike.
He once told me that every great
speech was to large extent the inspi-
ration of the moment, and that the sur
roundings as a rule make the speech.
Speaking with Hanna was very hard
work. When he arose he was nervous.
You could see that he felt out Of place.
There were drops of sweat upon his
bald head. his eyelids quivered and his
trousers seemed to bag at the knees.
His ordinary gesture was something
like the motion of a pump handle, and
it was perhaps ten minutes before he
got into sympathy with his audience.
Then you took note of the honesty of
the man. You began to see that he
was simple and plain in his statements.
and as he went on you felt the effect of

for either Foraker or Hanna. Foraker
is the typical fighter. He believes in
winning by aggression. His whole life
has been a fight. When he was ready
to go away to school the war broke
sat and he entered the army. He was
hardly old enough to be a soldier, but
he fought his way through the war,
taking active part in the battles Of
Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, At
1anta and a dozen others, and being
the last man Of his regiment to be mus
tered out. He carried his animosity
with him after the war closed, and
when he was governor protested
against giving the rebel flags back to
the South. Foraker has backbone as
stiff as the Corinthian columns at the
front of the capitol at Washington. He
dOes not give up and he keeps on fight
ing after the battle is over He want
ed an education, but he served through
out the war and when 1t was closed
entered college, going first to the
Methodist University at Delaware,
Ohio, and afterward to Cornell. Hanna
is also fighter, but he fights in a diff
ferent way. He plans his campaigns,
organizes his forces, studies human ma
tire and automatically molds every
thing to his will. The reason for this
lies somewhat In his education. He
started life in his fathers store In
Cleveland, but times were hard and
business poor. Later on he invested his
savings in an iron mine, became in
terested in variety of different enter
prises and by diplomacy, push and
honesty succeeded in making a great
fortune. Like Foraker he is a man of
strong friendships. This is shown In
The way he stuck to Mckinley Like
Foraker he is a good fighter, and, like
him, he seldom forgets an injury, and
will keep up his campaign to the last.
