HANNA WORRIES HIM.
President Roosevelt Declares for the
Ubiquitous system of the
Ohio Senator.

When President Roosevelt wrote that
letter 10 Secretary Shaw. approving his
intention 10 stump Ohio and other
states and congratulated him upon
having the chance to do your share TO
secure not merely the triumph, but the
decisive and overwhelming triumph Of
Senator Hanna and the cause which he
represents" he took a great step back
ward against the cause OF the people.
For one who is supposed TO be an ar
dent civil service reformer that was
an extraordinary and unusual promul-
CATION and might be taken as an in
vitation for all government officials to
abandon their official duties-like Sec
Rotary Shaw. and put their entire ef-
forts into effecting the triumph" Of
Hanna or any other republican candi-
dates. We are thus likely to see in the
coming campaign this fall and in the
coming presidential election. the ut
most political activity Of the federal
ONCE holders. the very thing that the
civil service reformers are supposed to
be opposed to.
But Hanna and "the cause which he
represents" what is IL? He is openly
favoring the ship-subsidy steal and
President Roosevelt was supposed TO
be opposed TO that iniquitous and
wicked attempt 10 tax the people for
the benefit OF the Morgan steam ship
trust
Another cause which Hanna repre-
sents in Ohio. and elsewhere for that
matter. is the unequal taxation OF the
railroads and other trusts and corpor-
atoms. SO that the farmers and other
tax payers have their property, real
and personal. assessed at over 60 per
cent of its value and the favored cor
porations only pay from 10 to 20 per cent
Does President Roosevelt favor that
unequal taxation?
Hanna is openly fighting reform OF
the tariff and secretly opposing Cuban
reciprocity. Is President Roosevelt in
accord with him on those propositions
The cause that Hanna represents In
cludes many other Ubiquitous PROPOSE
lions and his well known corruption of
those voters or legislators that money
will buy. to advance his cause. is so no
torious that IL was supposed that Pres
ident Roosevelt favored more clearly
political methods. Unfortunately we
have his written word for ii that he is
anxious for the decisive and over
whelming triumph OF Senator Hanna
and the cause which he represents
No other president has ever
espoused such cause before: they
have been wise enough to abstain from
openly recording their approval Of dis
reputable causes that some OF their
partisans have maintained
