Washington, November l4.-Nopeciah|
A sensational attack upon Senator Han
ma In The New York Press has gwen
rise to a good deal Of questioning ana
comment on the part OF the friends OF
TIE Ohio statesman. The Press is recog-
nized as one of tne most stalwart sup
porters of the Roosevelt administration
though at one time it differed Loudly
with the Cuban reciprocity policy Now
however, it has come into line, ana IT'S
conversion is attributed several heart
to-heart talks which the president him
self has had with the proprietor and The
editor of the paper, both OF whom were
guests at the oyster Bay white house
during Tie summer
The Attack on Hanna-
In the rTgT1t of this relationship and
understanding, some men very close to
Senator Hanna are inquiring the mean
ing of certain Press editorial the trend
OF which is shown III the following eA-
tract:
Not only did Senator llama run for
governor OF Ohio on election day Though
Herrick name WAS on the Official pdllol
through some oversight, but II seems
that the chief issue voted on was the
ship subsidy scheme one Of the minor
press agents OF the subsidy grafters re-
minds the monopoly organs Of THIS TACT
with the declaration that as Senator
Hanna wanted every voter in ONO to IN
derstand that II lie was reelected he
would work and vote for ship subsidy
bill II follows, OF course that ONO In
dorses that proposition emphatcally ana
rnagnificently. S.~--~~ the fact and Its sig
nificance cannot be toe widely pubhshed
,.tsy,
WHY the dickens don't the monopoly
and subsidy organs and press agents,
while they are about 1t. tell the Whole
truth OF the Ohio election and have done
with It? Why don they admit that the
people Of OHIO Piled up their greas vote
because they were not only voting for
Hanna but Tor him to be president, and
not only for a ship subsidy, but for
constitutional amendment taking cleo
tons out OF the hands of the people ana
giving tie entire power of government,
legislative administrative and judicial,
over to the monopoly and subsidy COM
bines which are hacking Mr. Hanna 70
beat Mr. R6oseVclt2"
These friends Of Senator Hanna are
wondering. TO their suspicious minds
these Press utterancee look very mpch
like an effort to disturb the republican
harmony aoout which all hands are do
ing SO much prating those days. DESPITE
all talk t. the contrary there is no great
enthusiasm for Roosevelt among ohio
republicans Former Senator Thurston,
who was one Of the star orators in the
Ohio campaign Is telling his friends chat
MS mention Of President Roosevelt in
his addresses TO republican audiences
brought scarcely q ripple Of applause,
and even Chat was of the mos perfume
tory character All tie enthusiasm was
Tor Uncle Marcus. who, ia the eyes Of
OHIO republicans. IS the greatest man on
earth Hanna himself sings Inc praises
of Roosevelt on every possible occasion.

ParentIy inspired New York utterances,

FOR the administration is only skin deep

Have They Helped Tie Democrats9
Some eminent republicans seem to be a
bit dubious over their great victory in
Oslo The CIV in the ointment Of their
rejoicing is thc fear that they may have
done an even better DAVIS work for de-
r4ocracy than floy ala for repubhcanism
