There are many interesting stories tod

headquarters insisted that he had NOBODY;
else to send. The other members OF the
Executive Committee urged Mr.. Hanna to
fin the appointment. It is more than prob
able that they had some sense of humor in
the idea.
Mr.. Hanna finally surprised his fellow
managers of the campaign by accepting.
He reached the hall with great difficulty.
On the way a mob formed and poured
into the intended orators ears the worst
string of epithets and threats man ever
listened to. The carriage was stopped,
and the attentions became most pro-
yoking. BY the time Mr.. Hanna got
on the stage he was mad clear through.
He talked. Before he had gone on ten
minutes the crowd was orderly and lis
tening to political truth straight from the
shoulder. Mr. Hanna's talk to the Poles
passed into the history Of that memora-
BILE campaign as among the remarkable
incidents.
