Washington, May 30.-Mareus A
Hannas senator from Ohio, the maker
Of presidents and general alI-round
politician, is taking a good deal of in
terest in the selection of a successor
to Senator. Mason in Illinois. Tt is con-
coded, of cou~se, that il is not neces-
saIy for the chairman of the national
republican committee to interfere in
senatorial fights in any state Mr..
Hanna however, has taken il upon
himself to show the members of the
legislatures in various states, within
the past few years, that his Judgment
is better than theirs. There are sew
eral cases in point
First-He endeavored to defeat Sen
ator Quay for reelection to the senate
IN Pennsylvania His anxiety to defeat
Quay was possibly due to the fact tka1
the latter While ln% the senate, did not
show unusual interest In the paSSa &c
of the national shipping subsidy bill
which the Ohio senator was anxious
TO get through. In his attempt to de-
feat Senator Quay he failed. This is
Tell-knOFn to everybody
SecOnd-In South Dakota the Ohio
senator was successful in defeating
Senator Pettigrew for reelection. He
made d personal fight against Mr.. Pet
tlgreW and won.
Third-In Nebraska Mr.. Hanna at
tempted, as is Wen known, to dictate
the two senators to be elected by the
legislature OF that state last winter
He lost. The men not considered good
senatorial timber from this state were
elected, and Hanna'S candidates were
defeated.
FOUrth-In Delaware Senator Hanna
interfered in a Senatorial fight at Do
yer last winter, but his anxiety to elect
senators favorable to the administra-
ton failed. This is q well known fact.
1t was great disappointment TO the
Ohio boss
His Hand in Delaware.
Fifth Maryland Senator Hanua's
hand has been seen in the senatorial
contests within the last year. but ow-
ing TO the shrewdness of former Sena-
tor German, he has failed in that state
Unless the unforeseen happens. Mr..
German win succeed Senator yelling
ton in the upper branch Of the national
congress when the latter's term ex-
pires.
Senator Hanna is anxious that wiz
liam i. Mason, senator from Illinois.
shall be defeated for reelection when
his term expires. The Ohio boss
strange as it may seem has a good
man in view for Mason's successor
This gentleman is no less q. person than
charles G. Dawes, present comptroller
OF the currency. There viii be a. very
heated contest in the Sucker state
when Mason goes before the legislature
Of Illinois for re-election. He has OPP
posed the Mckinley administration
policies for the last four or five years.
therefore. is not in touch with Major
Mckinley or with Senate Hanna In
view Of the fact that the administfa-
ton controls a. vast amount Of patron
age IN Illinois the prospects of Ma
sons reelection handicapped as he is
by the opposition Of the administra-
ton, are not bright.
1t may be said to the credit of Major
Mckinley and Senator Hanua that
they have decided upon a candidate 20
succeed Mason, who viii not only he
acceptable oSthe people Of that state
but to the country at large. II is con
ceded everywhere that Charles G.
Dawes is regarded as one of the bright
est young men connected with this zd-
mihistratiOn- He is a faVorite with the
young men in his state and unless
Senator Mason makes a remarkable
tight he VIII be defeated for the SEN
atorial toga by the present comptroller
Of the currency.
