ALL ARE TOGETHER
MARK HANNA COMES TO THE
 AID or NEW PRESIDENT
Both Pledge Friendship-Roosevelt Sends for Senator After Taking Oath-Good Place for
 Dr. Rixey.

Walter wellnnan telegraphs from Wash ington to The Chicago Record Herald that President Roosevelt has won not only the aid and support of the McKin- ley Cabinet in carrying out the McKin- side the powerful head of the national Republican organization, none other than the Senator from Ohio, MT. Hanna. The method which Mir. Roosevelt adopted in achieving this result was characteristic of his frankness and directness.
 Within an hour after he had taken the oath of office in Buffalo he sent for Sem ator Hanna. The Senator responded to the call The two men were old friends; they have always had for one another that instinctive liking which all bold. frank. fighting men have for their Kind. Throughout the country there has been an impression that because MT. Hanna endeavored for time at Philadelphia to prevent the nomination for Vice Presi- dent of Governor Roosevelt that good that in consequence the Ohio Senator would not hold close relations with the new administration. The new President and the official head of the Republican party organization had not been togeth- CT half hour in the parlor of Ansley Wilcoxs house on Delaware Avenue Tn Buffalo before they had reached a conn plete understanding. They had pledged one another their friendship Mir. Hanna promised to give President Roosevelt the same cordial support he had given Presi- dent McKinlsy as long as the next which continuance of the Mckinley policies was adhered to.
 q want you to be my friend" said President Roosevelt.
 "I am your friend. and my friends shall be your friends replied Senator Hanna.
 Their hands and eyes met. and after of the future of the government and of the party. The head of the Republican organization gave some advice to the new leader. And one result or that com versatiou was the evolution of the idea which President Roosevelt had already formed of keeping the Mckinley Cabinet by his side. At first he was going to keep the entire Cabinet temporarily. choosing out of 1t Secretaries Root and Gage for permanent posts. Then he broadened and grew till he determined unon the action today officially announced-keeping the whole Cabinet and declaring his intention to carry out the policies announced in President McKinley's speech at Buffalo;
 There is much comment here upon the manner In which President Roosevelt mas risen to the requirements of his great responsibility he has laid the foundations of successful administration. He has a cabinet of tried and trusted men. He has adopted policies known to the people and supported by them. He has won public confidence. He has attached to himself the Mckinley element of the Re- publican party. which comes very near meaning all the party. lie ne mas ,,V, tne organization man in the Republican ranks. He has secured peace in New York. made certain that there are no factions there, no repetttions or the Gar field -Conkling episode.
 Secretary Hay was at first very re- luctant to remain in the State Depart ment. He is not in the best of health. He is weary of public service. He has his family griefs to bear. He has long dreamed of season of travel and study in various parts of the world. Only his great attachment for President McKin- ley has kept him in office up to this time.
 Before President Roosevelt arrived in this city last night MT. Hay had defi- nttely decided to retire almost immediate ly. But when the new President came to him with the most sincere and friend- ly proffers, when MT. Roosevelt urged him to stay as a matter of public duty transfer of the Mckinley Administration to tho new regime, Mir. Hay hesitated He took the matter under consideration, and today signified his willingness to re- main.
 President Roosevelt has promised to carry out the plans of President McKin" ley and appoint Dr. Rixey Surgeon Gen. eral of the Navy. pr. RiXey gave up a practice worth $10,0O0 year to become the Presidents private physician, and his devotion to the President and to Mrs. Mckinley are we'll worthy of reward.
 Another of President McKinley's ar which will be carried out by President Roosevelt is the appointment of Mir. Ridgley of Springfield, to be Con- troller of the Currency in place of MT. appointments arranged by President Mo- Kinley some weeks ago will be made by his successor Every promise given by President Mckinley will be redeemed by nn oofc
