SENATOR HANNA
Gives His Views as to Roose-
velt's Proposed Course.
IN ABSOLUTE ACCORD AsToPoL1oY

with tho Views Of His Predecessor
In the esidency--Mckin1ey Pros
perity 1s to Continue.
Senator Hanna Of Ohio was inter-
view In Cleveland few days after
the obseQuies Of President Mckinley.
He very frankly and fully expressed
his views as to the purposes and pol
icies Of the new administration. 1t
is to be remembered that Senator
Hanna is q close personal and political
friend of President Roosevelt. and no
knows whereof he speaks from that
standpoint. Therefore 1t is reassur'
ing to the country to feel that the new
president is in absolute accord with
the purposes and aims Of his prede'
cessor. This was brought out fully
IN the remarkable coincidence in the
| principles enunciated by Mr.. Roose-
Welt in his speech at the Minneapolis
state fair with those contained In NC
Kinley's address at Buffalo but three
days later. A careful reading Of these
two documents shows not the slight
est variance IN The opinions OF the
two men. and this is marvellous con
sidering that neither knew what the
other was going to say.
Senator Hanna's own words regard
ing the new president in the Interview
referred to are as follows: Il know
that President Roosevelt is deter
mined to carry out the policies advo
Gated by President Mckinley. l know
that our new president Is sincere II
every word he uttered to that effec
at Buffalo. know that he means Il
its full purport every word Of like Ell
feet that he has uttered since. No
only the Republican party, but all tn
nation, may repose the fullest conf
dence In President Roosevelt. Tn
people who mourn Mckinley may turl
their faces to the future with the al
surance that there will be no devis
ton by the living from the path blaze
by the fallen. It is time for courage
not for despair.
What the country wants at thi
time Is an assurance that the futur
is secure. that there is to be no rat
ical change, no departure from tn
policy with whose general trend pee

praise too highly the admirable tao
and truly patriotic wisdom shown b
: President Roosevelt in all that he ha
said and done thus far. Confidence
. after realizing the shock Of this awf'
disaster, is what the country need
That confidence Mr.. Roosevelt has p'
forth his utmost to sustain. And b
has done that effectively.

carry out unbroken the policy of Pre-
ident Mckinley finds practical al
convincing reinforcement in his CO

u met and in the acceptance of the
call to duty by all the members
that cabinet.
Moreover, I am assured tina: Pre-
ident Roosevelt will ask and will T
