Intimate Friend of the Sena-
 tor Talks WILL NOT DIVIDE THE VOTE
He Feels That the Bitterness Eneen- dered by a Fight Would Most Likely Defeat Either Can
 date Nominated.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, D. C., November 22.-(Spe- cial)-Anent the visit of MT. Charles E. Sapp of Kentucky here and his intimation that Hanna was stronger in Kentucky than the President. and also the many ex- pressions from republicans favoring MT Hanna for President next year, perhaps one of the most intimate friends of the popular Ohio senator said today:
 T absolutely know that there Is but one contingency that could arise which would induce Senator Hanna to accept the nomination, and that is this: If, when the convention meets. great opposition should arise against Roosevelt's nomina- tion, and delegations from doubtful states should oppose him on the ground that he could not carry those states at the election and his own sta&s and New York should be divided or lukewarm in his support, and 1t became evident that the convention was disposed to put him aside for some other man whom 1t deems more available, l say that if such con- tingency as this should arise at the con- vention and the nomination should be offered to Senator Hanna, l believe he would accept 1t, but not otherwise.
 Could Not Afford Contest.
 Senator Hanna knows that neither he nor the republican party could afford to have contest with Roosevelt for the nomination, for the bitterness sure to be engendered by such a contest would most likely defeat either one nominated.
 sMr. Hanna knows too well the power of the President and his strenuosity in public life to doubt what he would do to him if he defeated him in an open con test for the nomination.
 T admit that Senator Hanna is an ex- ceeding strong man with republicans ev- anywhere. His mail is enormous and hundreds of republicans in New York have written him that he could carry It's cleo toral vote next year but that it would not go for Roosevelt"

largest Institute Conductors
School that has ever assembled
| there.
Before adjaurning last Thurs
Iday very complimentary remarks
were made by a large number IN
reference TO the two county
superintendent Of education that
attended the entire sessiono OF two
weeks OF that distinguished body.
These two superintendent We're
Hon. j. r. Ellis, of Lauderdale
County, and Hon. Edgar Green,
of Lincoln County.
Superintendent Ellis. of Lauder
dale County greatly enlisted the
interest of the body by the setting
forth of the work in which he is
especially engaged in the county
namely the inauguration OF the
circulating library york.
He is a pioneer IN this line of
work and he inspired the con
duetors present to preach the
PRONUNCIATION OF this great scheme
in the interest OF education in all
of the counties this summer.
The practical results already
achieved in this work by Super
intendent Ellis, convinced the
body that the scheme is entirely
feasible and the propagation of
scheme throughout the State of
Mississippi will mark educational
era in the State.
Mr.. Green's especial work that
he presented to the Institute was
on the organizational order. II e
has had printed a curriculum
of work which is regarded to be
Very superior and would make a
suitable course for the rural
school districts of Mississippi.
He has especially stressed in
his general scheme. Ist, A high
School for each Supervisors Beat
End Better school houses, 3rd
Organized work, 4th Professional
reading course, 9TH Consolidation
of school districts.
It is a high compliment to the
efficiency Of this superintendent
that the State superintendent Of
education instructed the Institute
conductors to present it to the
teachers and patrons of their
August work.
Certainly the men who are thus
exerting themselves for the edu-
cational interests of their counties
should be appreciated and should
be aided in every possible way.
A vote OF thanks was rendered
to these gentlemen by the fnsti-
tute conductors for their valued
services during the session. A.
