The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1903-11-27
Senator Hanna and the Presidency.


1t is not the best friends of Senator
Hanna who are making frantic endeav-
ors to stampede the republican party
When the returns from Ohio came in it
was the most natural thing in the world
for some man to say: THAT means
Hanna for President Largely through
his efforts, the state had given the re-
publican ticket phenomenal majority
At the same time, Maryland had been
Commanded because of the race issue,
the injection of which was wrongfully
attributed to the president These two
features of the last election. when placed
in contrast, were bound to draw atten-
ton temporarily to Senator Hanna.
The word temporarily" is used ad-
visedly because The Blade is confident
that Senator Hanna cannot be dragged
into q presidential contest. He burned
his bridges behind him when he with
drew his objections to Ohio's endorse
ment of the president. 1t was then his
opportunity to speak, and there was no
equivocation. He will speak again if
occasion demands, and when he does, he
will silence the efforts Of those who are
trying TO force him into false position.
AS The Blade has already said, there
is but one way in which Senator Han
Ma will permit his name to go before the
national convention and that is in the
event of President Roosevelt's with
drawal. No such contingency is likely
to arise. The president is stronger to-
day with the masses than ever before,
eliminating those states from which he
could never hope to get an electoral
vote. To change the situation there
would have to be almost complete re-
vulsion of feeling. He could carry New
York today And New Jersey, and
Connecticut. And as we approach the
election, he will gain friends in those
public duties, his answering deter
mination to purify the departments and
his intense patriotism are bound to
weigh in the balance against the spoils-
men and disappointed officeseekers
TO be president of the United States
would add not feather to the greatness
of Senator Hanna His place in Amer
lean history is secure. No man has done
more to make his country respected of
the world. No man has labored with
such zeal to break down industrial bar
riers and bring the employer and en-
ploye into closer relationship. Thus
his efforts have been directed to make
the United States better and stronger
within as well as without. And in ac-
complishing these results, he has given
his country years of life and sacrificed
his health To ask further sacrifice
would be ingratitude And Senator
Hanna could not be the republican can
iidate for president without sacrifice,
and perhaps actual danger to his health.
His closest friends appreciate this, and,
approaching it, depreciate alllefforts to
drag him into the race. The demand
should be made only in the event Of
party crisis, and in such an event, the
grand old republican soldier will not be
found faltering. Toledo Blade.
In some of the Swiss valleys the in
habitants are all afflicted with goitre
or thick neck" Instead of regarding
this as deformity they seem to think
it natural feature Of physical develop
ment, and tourists passing through the
valleys are sometimes jeered by the
goitrous inhabitant, because they are
without this offensive swelling. Thus
form of disease may become so COM
mon that it is regarded as natural and
necessary condition of life. 1t is so, to
large extent, with what are called di-
seases of women. Every woman suffers
more or less from irregularity, ulcera-
ton, facilitating drains, or female weak
ness and this suffering is so common
and so universal that many women &C
cept it as a condition natural and neces-
sary to their sex. But it is condition
as unnatural as it is unnecessary The
use of DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
strengthens the delicate womanly organs
and regulates the womanly functions, so
that woman is practically delivered from
the pain and misery which eat up ten
years of her life-between the ages of
fifteen and forty five. "Favorite Pre-
scription" makes week women strong
and sick women we'll
