SOME LIVELY BOOMS.
Republican Victory In Ohio Pushes
Hanna Forward for President.
WHAT A LEADING OHIO PAPER SAYS.
The Maryland Election Brings German 10
the Front % the DsmoeratIo Candidate
for the Nations Chief Executive
Senator MOrgan's Prediction.

Columbus, o., Nov. 5.--As q result
Of the victory Of the republicans In
Ohio, the name Of Marcus A. Hanna Ia
on every lip as o presidential POSSIBLE
ity. Supporters are springing up from
unexpected quarters and boom Ia
well under way. The State Journal,
which has favored the nomination and
election Of President Theodore Roose-
welt, said editorially this morning:
1.-THE results Of Tuesdays elections
make Senator Hanna the logical leader
Of the republican party in the presiden-
tial campaign Of 1904. In every state
except Ohio where an important cleo
ton was held the republican party lost
ground. In Ohio alone have the re-
publicans won the most phenomenal
victory in the history Of the state.
Senator Hanna was prominently the
issue in the campaign and his major
ity on joint ballot In the general assem-
bly, will be more than twice what Ohio
gave any other senator. The logic Of
the returns is clear. II the republic
ans are to win the national campaign
next year they must have as their can
didate man In whom capital and Ia
Dor alike have perfect confidence.
Marcus Hanna is that man. His keen
foresight noted the signs Of the busi-
ness danger in the complications that
might arise between employers and
employees long before others discov-
cred II. He warned Of the menace that
has since arisen and for q time has
checked the full lead Of prosperity.
His disinterested labors and astute
leadership In the Civic federation made
II q power and proved him q man Of
the broadcast type"
The editorial concludes a. follows:
Senator Hanna's nomination for the
presidency would be equivalent to an
election"

TOM JoHNsoN's STATEMENT.
The Defeated Candidate for Governor 81
Ohio Tells Of what He Thinks
Caused His Defeat.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 5.--Tom Johnson,
the defeated candidate for governor.
last night gave out the following state
ment relative 70 the election In this
state, in which he said in part:
"The result In Ohio is due to sew
eral causes, Of which the chief was
the successful attempt Of Senator
Hanna to impress upon the people Of
this state that continuance Of undis-
turbed business conditions demanded
his return to the senate. In the last
few days Of the campaign the closing
of mills and discharge Of thousands Of
workmen, together with bank and bust
ness failures throughout the country,
gave color to Senator Hanna's claim
that the legislation in Ohio involved
national issues Of greater importance
than the betterment Of our local condi-
tons I hope that Senator HannGs
statement that his reelection will pre-
serve the Industrial and business stu
alton from disturbance will be verified.
and that confidence, which he believes
to be the basis Of prosperity, win be
preserved.
The republican party in this cam
paign had fund larger In amount
than ever in the history Of state poll
tics. The magnitude of this fund en-
sbled the republican committee to give
the widest possible circulation to their
claim that business prosperity depend
ed upon Senator Hanna's reelection"

Mr.. William G. Clark Of Pine street had
three carloads Of furniture taken out of his
home to satisfy an assessment of $500. Mr..
Clark was absent from the city when the
officers Of military law appeared at his

Mrs. Clark was confined to her room by
illness. and one of the young lady daugh-
ters stepped forward to take the place of
her parents. Learning the nature of the
errand. the young lady withdrew. Hastily
returning with a Bible in her hand, she
opened its leaves and read to the captain
of the guard, pointing to the words as she
read. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours
goods" Thou Shalt not steal"

Hot Springs Indians Seek Land in

REPUBLIC

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
San Diego. Cal, May 16-The removal Of
the Warner Ranch Indians. with all the
pitiful side lights made more notable by
the heart-rending appeals that the Indians
might be allowed to remain at their own
homes. has some amusing features.
For instance, last night there appeared
at the reservation in Pala Valley eight of
the Hot Springs Indians. representing two
families. who had come on ahead OF the
others. They were looking for the man in
charge Of the new place and said that they
had frequently been at Pala at the iestas
and knew what the land was. They plainly
stated that they had come early. hoping to
get the pick of the land for themselves.
The wagons on which the Indians are to
be moved have reached the Springs, or
rather are just at the outskirts Of the In
dian village. There are thirty-seven two
and four horse conveyances. all of them
covered to lessen the discomfortx Of the
trip. 1t will be made by way of Temecula.
