MARCUS A. HANNA.

In the opinion of many the man
who made possible the nomination OF
William Mckinley in 1896 ided at
William Mckinley in 1896 died at
mistake. While Marcus A. Hanna
was undoubtedly one of the most en-
thusiastic and ardent Supporters of the
Ohioan and brought the full force of
his power to bear in support of the
man whom he c~hanpioned, the fact
still remains that even without Han
would have been the choice of the
convention. Events in the political
situation for several years previous
had made him the logical candidate
of his party and in giving him the
nomination the convention only fol-
lowed the dictates of sound political
judgment and responded to the senti-
ment and wishes of the party.
1t may also be said with truth that
without Hanna's masterful administra-
ton of the campaign that followed
Mckinley would have been elected,
but it would be ~manifestly unfair and
untrue to assert that without the ben
efits of his wonderful skill and abil-
ity as an organizer and director Nc
Kinley's majority would have attain
ed the phenomenal figures it did. In
that direction he contributed, as per-
haps, no other man contributed to the
success of the party and the man
whom he admired and in whom he
believed implicitly. The very oppo-
sites in many things, yet one was
helpful to the other and by combining
and directing their different forces in
to a common channel they accomplish
ed results and achieved successes that
might otherwise not have accrued.
Each was helpful to the other, but
in summing UP the total it will prob
ably be admitted that in the ratio of
direct, personal benefits Hanna was
the greater gamer.
In Hanna was afforded an excellent
example of the possibilities open to
all men under the peculiar conditions
obtaining in this country and the
heights to which they may success
fully aspire if only competent to ap-
preciate and grasp the opportunity
when it shall present itself. Hanna

AS though they were not bad enough
as the correspondents send them out,
some of the newspapers printing war
news insist upon adding a few extra
touches to the names with which the
printers and readers are forced to
struggle in consequence of the war in
the east. The usually practical and con
sentative Minneapolis Journal is one
of the offenders. 1t adds an "h" to the
last syllable of the name of the
Korean port where two of Russia's
ships were sunk, giving it the sound
of IF" and calling it "Chemulpho."
