We published an item recently
stating that mad dog had bitten

Cattle and hogs have gone mad and

Hanna may defeat Roosevelt for

tacitly implies that we nre destined
to have Republican president
the next four years. and that Mr..
Hanna is preferred to Mr.. Roose-

in this hope aud wants to see
Roosevelt nominated because it
believes that he will be the easierto
