Patent medicine advertisers and

thousands of dollars every year for
the advertising which has been freely
bestowed on Senator Hanna. For two
presidential campaigns and one Of his
own in between, he has been the fla

coal. His rather handsome features
have been given twist ard his pOrtly
form an expression Of greed in order
that he might be fit to use as the in
carnatiOn Of greed and tyranny. His
cartoOnists have succeeded in making
him bogy. The real man is portly.

Illuminating smile, lighting up an
unwrinkled face as clean and smooth
as a Dresden china shepherdess. No
man as old as Senator Hanna can be
greedy. tyrannical, grinding and
harsh and not show it 10 his face. A
young man can be a villain and pos
sess a cherubic ceuntenance butin an
old man these characteristics have
had time to express themselves in his
face, and cannot be concealed. For
many years Senator Hanna has been
the employer of six thousand men.
II he we're the stupid fiend Davenport

have been conducted. as it has, with
