HANNA BREAKS DOWN.
Party Leader Cancels Dates for
Campaign Tour This Week.

Columbus, o., Oct. Ex-senator Hanna,
who is making an extensive campaign
tour of the state, was seized with sudden
Illness in Ironton Saturday, but, against
the advice of doctors, he refused to cancel
MS appointment to make a speech there
in the afternoon AS the day wore on
however, it became evident that the SEN
ator's indisposition was slightly more SER
ious than at first thought, and hence t
was announced that all his engagements
for this week would be Cancelled. He came
to this city early Saturday evening and,
against medical counsel, gave short ad-
dress to 5000 people in the Auditorium.
Dr. c. S. Gray, who was called to attend
Mr.. Hanna, diagnosed the case 5 stom-
ach trouble and prescribed accordingly He
paid little heed to the alarmist rumors of
the senator's condition, replying testify
that he did not discuss the health of his
patients.
Senator Hanna has been working hard
during the past week, both with his
speech making and in conferences with
national party leaders. His health this
autumn has not been quite as good as
usual, and when it is remembered that he
is IS years old il is readily seen that he
has passed the age when a man can over
exert himself without suffering the neces-
Sary consequences.

HILLS KEYNOTE SPEECH.
Trusts, Tariff and the Coal Strike Dis
cussed by New Workers.

NV York. Oct. 13-The Democratic
state campaign opened in Brooklyn Sat
urday night. Speeches were made by
David b. Hill. Edward NJ Grout,
George Haines and others Among
other statements Mr.. Hill declared that
the people are cOrfrcnted with gigantic
combinations of capital, monopolizing
the productions of the earth and the
most OF Americas artisans, ARBITRARILY
fixing prices, making corners in the
necessities of life. and that the extent
and multiplicity of these operations are
substantially unlimited by law and un-
controlled by statute They dictate the.
governmental policies of subservient
governors and presidents" he said. Re-
ferring to the question of tariff revision
Mr.. Hill said:
With over 500 millions of surplus rev.
enue in the treasury of the United
States, it is almost criminal further to
resist modification of the present ex-
orbltant tariff rates. No good reason
can be urged why such revision should
not be Immediately undertaken
Mr. Hill arraigned the Republican
party for its failure to control trusts and
monopolieS- OF the plan of the state
demanding government of the mines he
said: THE proposition is neither start
ling, revolutionary. socialistic nor pa
ternal. but is constitutional. necessary,
expedient: above all. it is right. 1t is
simply reasonable and necessary ex-
tension of the general policy of public
the municipalities of the country. This
proposition does not commit the party
to any other projects of public owner
ship, whatever their merits If any there
may be-"
The coal question Mr.. Hill declared to
be national one. saving: IF it is not.
why did the president himself recently
intervene and summon private citizens
to the White House for conference and
exercise his official influence in regard
TO a matter over which he had no iuris-
dictiOn? He was not acting under any
statute. He had no authority for any
legal interference on his part. He him
self has made it a national question and
he and his party are now estopped from
otherwise regarding 1t. 1t is national
question because the impending coal
famine involves the welfare of the
whole people of the United States and
such a famine should be prevented from
ever occurring again, which cannot be
assured under private ownership and
control 1t is the province of wise
craftsmanship to provide against just
such emergencies in the future. There
is no permanent remedy proposed by
anybody except that suggested in the
Democratic clatform.'
