Gov. Durbin Says Hanna is
Out of It.
LATTER'S DECLARATION
OF INDIANA BE-
LIEvE 1T TO BE SINCERE.
Although Many Of That State Favor
Him, They Are Not Hostile to
President Roosevelt.

Governor Durbin Of Indiana was at the
Capitol today and had some interesting con-
ferences with republican members OF ene
House Governor Durbin was telling his
fellow Indiana republicans Of the high es-
TEEN in which Senator Hanna is held among
republicans Of the hOosier state.
During this visit to Washington Cover
nor ,Durbin is said to have had very frank
talk with President Roosevelt, in wnicn ne
told the President, so the report goes tnae
Indiana would be for Hanna for the prest-
DENTAL nomina ton IL Hanna were candi-
date: but that no organization nosuie "
the President was under way In lnoiana'
and no one expected Hanna to be a cano1-
date.
Gov. Durbin was asked by Star reporter
today at the Capitol If he had as repoIt1 ~,
told the President that Indiana would De
for Hanna il he became a cand1date. lne
governor side-stepped the first clause OF the
question and tackled the suppoSition OF the
last sentence.
Hanna Not a Candidate.
"Hanna will not be candidate" replied
Gov Durbin. I'VE love Hanna In Indiana.
He is enshrined in the hearts OF the repuD-
leans. The recent love feast OF repuph-
cans in connection with the meeting OF the
state committee demonstrated That 1act.
But Hanna has said he would not De
candidate. and republicans believe MIN:
There is no organization against hooseVeis
In Indiana and in my opinion his Will Dc
the only name before the republican La
tional convention.
Hanna is a patriot If his country caiieo
upon him through his party to be a canol-
date he could not and would not reIuse'
But no occasion will be presented 1or choos-
ing between Hanna and Roosevelt.
IT recall what Gen. Harrison SAID 10 me
in 1896. Gen. Harrison remarked that In
the circumstances the suggestion OF his pro-
posed candidacy again was exceedingly re.
pugnant to him. Yet, If he had been caiieo
upon to stand. he would have done 50 TOT
patriotic reasons. Senator Hanna, l re-
peat. Is patriot.
Will Be No Contest.
"But would Indiana favor Hanna or
Roosevelt in contest between them7" Gov.
Durbin was asked
There will be no contest" he replied.
land no occasion to choose between them.
Because Indiana republicans love Senator
Hanna is not to be taken as indication OF
hostility to Roosevelt. ----

Attack on Present Civil Service Sys-
tenn Resumed in the House
Of Representatives.

When the House met today there was an
expectation everywhere apparent that the
civil service commission and the civil serv-
Ice system would come in for an interesting
discussion In connection with the continued
consideration of the bill making appropria-
tons for the legislative, executive and jul
dicial branches of the government There
was no disappointment. The system was
assailed by many members. finding single
champion during the first few hours of the
debate in the person Of Representative
Cooper of Wisconsin. who declared present
conditions to be far superior to those of the
days Of political appointments.
Gen. Grosvenor (Ohio), one of the most ir-
reconcilable opponents Of the civil service
system as 1t now exists, on the other hand
declared that 1t was the civil service which
prevented the removal long ago Of the men
in the Post Office Department who are now
under indictment for defrauding the gov
eminent.
Interest in the debate was heightened by
the presence in the galleries of Civil Serv-
ice Commissioners Cooley and Greene and
Chief Clerk Doyle. They had been apprised
OF the lively discussion of yesterday after
noon precipitated by Representative Hep
burn of Iowa regarding the appropriation
for the civil service commission, and right
ly surmised that the debate would go on
today.
