Special to Times Republican.
Des Mones, Jan. 14.-Copies of the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune with
their first page displays of Hanna's
candidacy continue TO arrive at al
most every newspaper office In Iowa
showing by their persistency and by the
studied featuring of Hanna news that
their coming is no accident but rather
the result of active work on the part of
some ones literary bureau.
A Columbus dispatch by a staff cor
respondent in Wednesday morning
issue will be of particular interest be-
cause of the suggestion already made
that the matter of Iowa delegates Is
also being looked after. Said dispatch
is as follows.
Columbus, o., Jan. Ex-senator Mar
Gus A. Hanna will be formally declared
reelected TO the United States senate
tomorrow for a term of six years be-
ginning March 4, 1905.
The majority of the republican lead
ers here do not expect him to take his
seat in the senate by virtue of this
election.
They believe he will be inaugurated
president of the United States the day
his new senatorial term would COM
mence.
This, too. despite the fact that he has
said a dozen times today that he was
not a candidate for the office. He has
not said he would not accept it.
Representative republicans from
every county in the state called upon
the senator today. He talked politics
with them freely.
To his friends. one and all. he said
he wanted only his tried and true
friends on the national convention.
He said to number of men that
he was willing to make a fight for the
delegates in every district in the
state.
The senator went a step further and
declared that this action was necessary
for the protection of his political sup
porters.
i've had all out of politics care
IOT, SulU the Sei1dtuI, Uul lIOIii uoM vi
l will work only for my friends"
Senator Foraker has written u NUM-
Der of letters to Ohio men urging them
to get busy In this delegate matter.
This has riled Senator Hanna. 1t is Il
upon his loyalty and upon
the. truth of his oft-repeated statement
that he Is not a candidate for Roose-
velt's shoes. He resents 1t bitterly.
The campaign for state delegates will
begin at once in Ohio. 1t was really
started today. There will be no pause
until the delegation Is elected.
The senator gave the Hanna men to
Tuesday that 1t was a
finish fight-that 1t meant wiping them
off the political map of Ohio SO far as
national patronage is concerned and the
handing over of the reins to Senator
Foraker and his supporters Ii they
failed to win out.
1t is generally considered among
politicians here that newspaper pub
ished in one OF the largest cittes in
Ohio would not say these things unless
With the consent and approval OF the
nan talked about. WAAe practically
.very large daily newspaper in the
features on the first page the
important Associated Press news OF the
lay, nearly all of them giving pre-
erred position to the same events. this
paper devotes pictures, scareheads and
,taff correspondents to pushing Han
IA boom for the presidential nomina-
ion. and some one Is sufficiently in
crested to circulate these papers
broadcast over the land. What does it
mean?
"He said to number % men that he
vas willing to make fight for the
delegates in every district in the state"
What has he said to men about dede-
,atas from other statesp
