TRACTION Cars Collide.

Two Northern Ohio traction cars col
Nded at the foot of a steep hill on North
Howard street, Akron, Ohio, and injured
about dozen people. The two cars were
loaded with passengers and were travel
ing close together. For some reason the
brakes on the second car failed to work
and it dashed down the hill at terrific
speed, striking the forward car, which had
stopped to take on more passengers.
Strange to say, none on the second car
was injured except the motorman, Scott,
who sustained serious internal injuries.
The rear platform of the forward car
was crowded and all on the platform were
more or less injured.

WhY Not HANNAH

Mr.. Bryan says in the Commoner:
Many people smile when Mark Hanna
is suggested as the possible Republican
nominee in 1904, but there is no real
occasion for these smiles. The fact is
that Mark Hanna is the best possible
representative of the Republican party
as at present constituted. His ideas
are entirely out OF harmony with tEe
ideal of the founders of the Republican
party, and yet he has brought that
party to his way of thinking. He has
shattered traditional notions, he has
forced many Republican leaders into
the background, and he is to-day the
master of the Republican party. This
is not exaggeration. 1t is statement Of
very apparent facts. Why should the
Republicans hesitate to put forward the
man most truly typical of modern Re
publicanism?
