Mr.. Hanna's personal choice. and is
preferred by the president. Delivers
friends have pointed out TO Senator
Hanna that the Iowa candidate has
now got into the fight so far that he
wants to win, to which Hanna replied
that defeat would not injure Dolliver.
He has already acquired a great deal
OF prominence, says Senator Hanna.
and he will not be injured II he should
be defeated by a candidate like Sec
retary Long.
In making the fight against Roose-
welt Senator Hanna finds the OpDO-
nents of Roosevelt divided, some for
Long and some for Dolliver. The
question Of transferring the vote from
one to the other without nominating
the man they wish to defeat is the
dlflcult problem. IF we can't do it
then we haven't got control of the
convention" said Senator Hanna. If
the friends Of the president cannot
agree upon candidate, and by their
differences cause the nomination of a
man that is not wanted and does not
want the place. they will have to take
the responsibility for It."

there would be a loss Of more than a
