Republicans in the Senate are
almost unanimously for Hanna over
Roosevelt, and the ambitions of
Hanna to reach the Presidency are
but poorly concealed; he has posi-
lively refused to manage Roose-
vels's campaign should he be NOM
mated. Some of the strongest in
fiuences in the party are arrayed
against Roosevelt, and only the an
nouncement of Hanns's candidacy
would be necessary to start boom
for him that would bury Roosevelt
forever among the has beens.

Keith's "Buckerinos" made good yester-
day afternoon at Lake Manawa by winning
the opening game OF the Iowa-south Da-
kota league season in this city from Le
mars by a score Of 5 to 4. Both teams put
up very good exhibition of base ball, but
the crowd was small. The small crowd
was probably due to the fact that IT was
doubtful in the morning whether the dia-
mond was in a it condition after the heavy
rain of Tuesday.
The proposed parade was dispensed with,
but Mayor Morgan was on hand and opened
the game by pitching the first ball, which
Umpire Banther called a strike The fea-
