HANNA AND ROOSEVELT.

Senator Mark Hanna's Presidential
boom seems to be taken seriously in
Ohio. Whether this is because Ohio
must uphold its reputation of always
having a Presidential candidate ready
or the outcome of positive ambition
on Hannas part remains to be seen.

OF some months ago brought Hanna in.

In all seriousness. however. and de-
votes two columns OF plausible figures
and forecasts which show that Hanna
has the whole situation in tine palm OF

fingers and the plum ia his.

tial honors in 1904, notwithstanding
the Vice Presidential hoodoo he has to
overcome. His recent trip through the
West is spoken Of as a part of his plan
to keep his friends in order and his

State is weakened by the unexpected
strength shown by Governor Odell who

roll which leaves him with the vote
Of Idaho, Kansas, Montana, North Da-
kota, Utah, Wyoming and possibly
Washington, Oregon, California and
some Of the New England States. These
conceded States will give him II votes
