suggestions about the matter which

WANT MARK the ta,l=of the ma
tional ticket IS to
strengthen his own cause, and he has
come to realization that the best
way to do this is to make his choice
from one OF the three great middle
western states which combine indus
trial with great farming wealth. The
presidents intimate friends in Wash
ington do not regard the recent stoGies
about Senator Hanna and the vice
presidency as important or accurate.
In the first place they can not con-
ceive the possibility Of Hanna destr-
ing the nomination, and then, too.
they are quite sure that the president
does not want Hanna
Altogether too much impoG tance has
been attached to the presidents sue
cessful negotiations with Gov Cum
bins to abandon the Iowa idea for
the sake Of party harmony. Because
the president sent for the governor
and asked him 10 consent to the elm
ination Of the shelter for monopoly
plank from this years platform OF
the Republican patty in Iowa it was
assumed that il Cummins yielded the
president would reward him by in
yiting hin to accept the second place
on the national ticket.
TIE Hanna story had its origin in
causes somewhat Identical. Senator
Hanna wired the president to ascer-
tain L he desired the Ohio Repaoll-
can convention to go on record as ia
voring his nomination in 1901 Han
IA was hostile 10 that foI m Of indorse-
ment5 just as Clmmins was to the
suggestion that he surrender the Iowa
idea The Presidents reply TO Hanna
vas 50 sharp and anequifocal that
he abandoned MS opposition to the in
doTzetaent resolution. ana it passed
unanimously.
Hannaa recent visit to Oyster Bay
vas generally Interpreted to mean
that the president desifed him to take

tation Vas pfedieated on ene sssump-
ton that the pfeaIdent was seeking
