John j. Hannahan Talks of the Presi-

II am what you might call a Roosevelt
Democrat" said John j. Hannahan, grand
master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, who was at the Spencer House
last night. Mr.. Hannahan was passing
through the city on his way from the BIZ
ennial meeting of the brotherhood, which
has just closed at Chattanooga. Tenn. He
was elected grand master to succeed Frank
p. Sargent. Mr.. Hannahan was accom-
panied by F. w. Arnold, secretary and
treasurer Of the brotherhood. Hannahan
says that President Roosevelt, who ap-
peared before the brotherhood and was
made an honorary member, made an i'm
preston on the members that will never
be effaced as long as he is in public life
The President also made himself popular in
Chattanooga, Mammalian says. Gould the
people of that city have voted for Roose-
welt the day after he was there" the grand
master declared, she would have received
80 per cent. OF the vote"
