Circulation Statement
Hanna. Not RoosereIt:

Considering how heavily the Philippine
situation. the Chinese question, and the
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty must weigh CT
the Presidents mind and that he is soon
to have Congress on his haads, we are
sincerely sorry to hear that a new and
strange worry has been constructed for
him
The story goes that theodore Roose-
vet. remembering that there viii be no
retiring President TO ride in the carriage
with Mr. Mckinley from the White House
to the Capitol and return, on the Fourth
of March next, conceived The idea, or had
II suggested to him, that il would be
pleasant and appropriate innovation for
the Vice Presideut-elect TO occupy the
left rear seat of the imperial chariot. Il
is said that when the suggestion was
made TO Marcus 4. Hanna he almost
frothed at the mouth. He promptly We
toed The plan although some of the
Rough Riders friends are understood TO
have urged that with both the great Re
publican candidates in the same vehicle
the superior popularity Of Roosevelt, IS
indicated by the applause OF spectators.
As a question OF principle, perhaps il
might be difficult to say exactly why the
Vice President should not sit with the
President when there is a vacant seat to
sit in; but it is not customary. As the
official skeleton at the Executive Mansion
feast, the Vice Is naturally regarded as
a creature Of such hideous mien, that to
be hated needs but to be seen" He who
is heir-appas ent TO the imperial shoes,
in case their Incumbent should change
his crown for halo, cannot be consid-
cred as prime favorite at court-not
at this court, in any event.
To speak seriously. all the prophecies,
as well as the vindication of history, re
quire that at the next Inauguration Mr.
Hanna should occupy the place OF the re-
firing President His arduous and dis
tjnguisted services as proprietor Of the
late and succeeding Administrations
clOthe him with a more than Presidential
grandeur. He represents an institutional
eyoIution of great importance; that OF
the party boss, from the humble posi-
ton of an occasional political manager.
to that of a permanent potentate suPe-
rior TO all officers known to the CoDsti-
tuition and laws, and with authority com
bining the powers Of all branches Of Gcv-
eminent The party boss has never been
officially recognized, but should be with
out delay Therefore, we trust that our
hint may be taken, and that our great
and only Hanna viii be accorded the
dominating position in the Inauguration
pageant that he holds in the Republican
organization, and in general control Of
the United States.
