that those who opposed Hanna, went
down in The convention. 1t would De
closer e the truth to say that those
who were opposed to Hanna were
never able 10 get their head above
water in the convention. Hanna is
the greatest stage manager on earth.
He arranges his programme IN advance
and his s'supers" are the most skiliful
in rushing ont the proper performers
al the proper time and seeing that no
delays happen in the raising a~ndlower-
Ing of the clr,ain upon the stage.
There is no discussion in Hauna's con-
ventlon plans. Hsnna's automobile
car Of JHggermant moves on and the
man who dares stand up IN front Of it
gets everlsstingly smashed. Hanna
delegates composed she convention ;
Hanna patied Foraker on the back and
put him ont Tor his little speech in
which he had been thoroughly coached
by the great boss; Hanna told the
committee on permanent organization
that Hanna himself Is an artist in
handling the gavel, and as Senator
Foraker expressed it Hanna was the

While the Ohio convention is not the
national convention, Hanna the boss
says It is of national character and
national issues and he clearly outlined

The llannaized platform OF Ohio
will be the ElannA-McKinlev-trust
platform of the republican party in
1904 and the democrats will gladly en-
ter the contest on the lines laid down
by the great state and national politi-
cal boss, Marcus Aurelius Hanna.
For the grand chorus at the next
republican national convention we
would suggest the following
Hanna here and Hanna there,
Hanna, Hanna everywhere,
II you'd not get left,
Take Hanna's hand,
Get into the wagon
Along with the band,
Sing Hanna, llama, Han-tra Ia.
Mark Hanna is the man.
