HANNA AND KEAN
A TALKED-OF TICKET
Republican Presidential Gossip in Which Roose
welt Does Not Figure

difficult to excel from a Republican
standpoint
The linking of Senator Kean's name
with that of Senator Hanna on a Re-
publican ticket brought out an inter-
estins story OF how Senator Kean
broke into politics. 1t is vouched for
by a distinguished Jerseyman and a
lifelong friend of the senior Senator
from New Jersey. Many years ago,
when Senator Kean lived in the little
village OF Uniontown, New Jersey, a
county convention was called to select
delegates to a district convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress
The meeting was called at the county
school house. 1t was during the rainy
season and the day of the meeting a
terrible storm swept over Uniontown.
Senator Kean, fired with political am
bition, braved the elements and went
to the school house. He was the only
delegate who put in an appearance.
Several villagers who had come in out
of the wet, suggested that Mr.. Kean
preside over the meeting. He there
upon declared himself chairman, called
the meeting to order and unanimously
elected himself delegate to the dis
trict convention. No objection was
raised, and no contest was made
against his right to sit In the district
convention. His popularity throughout
the district caused the convention TO
center upon him as the candidate for
Congress. His district was so strong
ly Republican that a nomination was
equivalent to an election Thus he
became member of the Forty-eighth
Congress He was reelected to the
Fiftieth Congress, was the Republican
candidate for Governor in 90 and re-
turned to Congress as United States
senator in 1899 and his present term
will expire in 1906
Senator Kean is regarded as one OF
the soundest and ablest advisors In the
councils of the Republican party. lie
has been delegate a large TO all the
national conventions since he entered
politics, and although he does not fig-
ure conspicuously in senatorial de-
bates. he is an expert I'm parliamentary
law and tactics. In senatorial circles

OF the Vice President" because he is
50 frequently called upon 10 preside in
the absence OF the regular presiding
ofieer. Whenever Senator Frye. presi-
dent pro TEN. OF the Senate, takes a
brief leave Of absence for a day or
more. he invariably designates Senator
