MR.. HANNA AND THE GRIDIRoN
Members 7ofr the Famous Club Have
bost q Good Friend.

The Gridiron7 Club feels the death of Sena-
tor Hanna as personal loss to its menu
bers. He has attended every dinner of the
club since he came to Washington, and his
last appearance in public was upon the &C.
casion Of the annual dinner Of the club,
January 80. He was in high spirits that
night and enjoyed immensely the program
prepared for the entertainment of the
guests. which included a witty play upon
his own political fortunes.
The last public utterance of Senator Han
ma was the tivo-minute talk he made to-
ward the close OF the banquet, and which
was the signal for hearty ovation to him
by the 225: guests.
Senator Hanna was more closely iden-
titled with the sGridiron Club than any other
public man who has attended Its dinners.
said President Coolidge OF the Gridlron
Club today. He always seemed to regard
himself as a. member of the club, and we
always feltstoward him as If he were of our
own number.
He insisted on taking his part in every en-
tertainment. The first speech he ever maQe
of any kind was at girdiron dinner, and the
last words he spoke in public were at our
dinner two weeks ago. He came Gown from
his sick room to be present and remained
throughout the evening. Just at the close
he was asked to stand so that we could tell
him how much we appreciated MS being
there. The greeting that he received must
have touched his heart as 1t sprang from
ours"
The executive committee has appointed
the following committee OF the cup 70
attend the funeral in behalf of the club:
L. A. Coolidge, John M. Carson, FRANCIS IL
Leupp, S. E. Johnson, John s. Shriver and
Frank V. Bennett
